Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Spirituality has religious and nonreligious dimensions and is often linked to well-being, positive emotions, connection and meaning in life. Both empathy and resilience are important in medical training and future professional practice since they are considered core skills related to professionalism and patient care. Our study aimed to understand the relationships among spirituality, resilience, and empathy in medical students. We also aimed to determine whether there are differences by gender and between medical students in different years of a medical program.
METHODS: Medical students (n = 1370) of the first to fourth years of a six-year medical program, from six medical schools, completed questionnaires to assess empathy (Jefferson Empathy Scale and Davis Multidimensional Interpersonal Reactivity Scale) and resilience (Wagnild & Young Scale) and to rate their spirituality.
RESULTS: Medical students with high spirituality showed higher scores for both resilience and empathy (p < 0.001). In addition, we observed higher levels of both spirituality and empathy, but not resilience, in female medical students than in male medical students. In contrast, we did not detect significant differences in spirituality, empathy, or resilience between students in different years of medical school.
CONCLUSIONS: Medical students with high levels of spirituality have also higher scores for both empathy and resilience. Spirituality, empathy and resilience have similar values for students in different years of a medical program.

摘要：
背景：灵性具有宗教和非宗教维度，通常与幸福有关，积极的情绪,生活中的联系和意义。同理心和韧性在医学培训和未来的专业实践中都很重要，因为它们被认为是与专业精神和患者护理相关的核心技能。我们的研究旨在了解灵性之间的关系，弹性，医学生的同理心。我们还旨在确定在不同医学课程的不同年份中，性别和医学生之间是否存在差异。
方法：六年制医学课程第一至第四年的医学生（n=1370），来自六所医学院，完成问卷以评估同理心（杰斐逊同理心量表和戴维斯多维人际反应量表）和弹性（Wagnild和Young量表），并对其灵性进行评分。
结果：精神性较高的医学生在复原力和同理方面得分较高（p<0.001）。此外,我们观察到更高水平的灵性和同理心，但不是韧性，女医学生比男医学生。相比之下,我们没有发现灵性的显著差异，同理心,或者医学院不同年份学生之间的韧性。
结论：精神性水平高的医学生在同理心和韧性方面也有更高的分数。灵性,同理心和韧性对不同年份的学生有相似的价值。
