Researchers at Duke University have been
studying hospital employees who work in clinical areas. Results of some of
the studies have shown that high levels of spirituality within the
facility correlated with high scores in:
- More job satisfaction
- Increased perception of quality
- Lower turnover rates
Notice that the word is "spirituality," not
"religion". Many confuse the two. Some researchers believe that the
human brain is innately spiritual (able to experience a sense of awe) while
affiliation with a religious denomination is a choice. There are countless
examples in today's world of religious dogma without accompanying concepts
of spirituality, as well as the exhibition of spiritual behaviors without
affiliation with religion. Reportedly, Duke plans to engage in
ongoing research in this area.
