Abstract

The intersection of anatomy and spirituality offers a profound exploration into how the physical and spiritual aspects of our being interrelate, enhancing our understanding of wholeness. These domains are often seen as distinct, with anatomy rooted in the tangible study of the human body, while spirituality is considered intangible and deeply personal. However, as our understanding of both fields has evolved, a more integrative approach is emerging, recognizing that the physical and spiritual are not separate but interconnected aspects of human experience. In this unique special issue, we explore the diverse ways in which spirituality influences the field of anatomy. To provide a comprehensive perspective, the issue is organized into three sections. The first section examines how spirituality shapes students' learning experiences in anatomy. The second section focuses on the role of religious beliefs in body donation practices. Finally, the third section considers the interplay between spirituality and culture, and how this dynamic has influenced the discipline of anatomy over time. This special issue emphasizes the connection between anatomy and spirituality, bridging the divide between the physical and spiritual dimensions of educators, students, body donors, and community members. More needs to be done in the future to embrace the connection between anatomy and spirituality and build upon it to advance our discipline.

解剖学与灵性的交汇。
解剖学与灵性的交汇为我们提供了一个深刻的探索,让我们了解我们的身体和灵性是如何相互关联的,从而加深我们对整体性的理解。这两个领域通常被认为是截然不同的,解剖学植根于对人体的有形研究,而灵性则被认为是无形的和深入个人的。然而,随着我们对这两个领域的理解不断深入,一种更具综合性的方法正在兴起,这种方法认识到,肉体和灵性并不是相互独立的,而是人类经验中相互关联的两个方面。在这本独特的特刊中,我们探讨了精神影响解剖学领域的各种方式。为了提供一个全面的视角,特刊分为三个部分。第一部分探讨灵性如何影响学生的解剖学学习经历。第二部分重点探讨宗教信仰在遗体捐赠实践中的作用。最后,第三部分探讨了灵性与文化之间的相互作用,以及随着时间的推移这种动态如何影响了解剖学学科。本特刊强调了解剖学与灵性之间的联系,弥合了教育工作者、学生、遗体捐献者和社区成员身体与精神层面之间的鸿沟。未来需要做更多的工作来接受解剖学与灵性之间的联系,并在此基础上推动我们学科的发展。
