The need for spiritually sensitive and compassionate health care is recognised by health-regulatory bodies, yet, they are often not taught in health professional education. Guidelines identify expected competencies, but the best teaching techniques to develop these competencies, are unknown. Spotlights are a novel teaching method designed to integrate compassion and spirituality into existing academic curricula. Spotlights entail a moment in taught sessions, where the clinical knowledge that is being delivered, is used to scaffold discussions surrounding compassion and spirituality. A pilot project explored Spotlight’s ability to integrate compassion and spirituality into health professional education. Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioners received between 23 and 46 Spotlights over an academic year. The effectiveness was assessed by an anonymous survey pre- and post-intervention. Mean post-intervention scores were largely unchanged from corresponding pre-intervention scores. High levels of compassion and positive perceptions of spirituality were found before the intervention. The study was not powered to assess efficacy and significance testing was not conducted. Surprising outcomes saw students autonomously incorporating Spotlights into their work and increased discussions surrounding spirituality. Thus suggesting these concepts were becoming embedded into the culture of the trainees. Spotlights were an implementable method, well received by students and educators alike.

ABSTRACTOur jobs are now less secure and more reliant on technology, where knowledge is shared in real time irrespective of the location or time.

摘要:现在的工作不那么安全,更依赖于技术,在这种情况下,无论地点或时间,知识都是实时共享的。虽然我们现在在工作方式上有了更多的灵活性,但我们的工作与生活的界限正在受到影响,因此变得模糊。当界限松散时,它会产生角色冲突,并在一个人的生活中增加不安全感和紧张感。现有的主观幸福感(SWB)研究侧重于观察、测量和控制个体的外部因素,并显示当主观和客观变量起作用时,主观幸福感会发生什么。通过借鉴东方哲学和精神方法,本文提供了对我们感知的当前时刻情境意识的真实本质的见解。它表明,通过正念和内观(Vipassana)等技巧,有可能更深入地了解意识的根本原因和影响,并塑造我们感知到的世界观和主观幸福感。关键词:灵性;主观幸福;正念;和谐;注1《卡拉卡经:在卡拉卡公园》(AN 4.24),由塔尼萨罗比丘从巴利文翻译而来。《Access to Insight》(BCBS版),2013年11月30日,http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.024.than.html.Additional信息投稿人说明indujeeva K.
