Objective <p>The primary purpose of the article is to examine and compare the attitudes and perceptions of psychiatrists and psychiatry residents working in Singapore’s public health system toward spirituality in psychiatry.</p> Methods <p>All psychiatrists registered with the Singapore Medical Council and psychiatry residents with the National Psychiatry Residency Program working in Singapore’s public hospitals were invited to participate in a survey.</p> Results <p>Seventy-seven psychiatrists and 46 psychiatry residents participated in the survey. Of the respondents, 91.1% agreed that it is appropriate to inquire about spiritual aspects of patients’ lives and address spiritual problems or needs patients may have within clinical settings. There were significant differences between psychiatrists and residents in perceived barriers to discussing spiritual issues with patients. Psychiatry residents were significantly more likely than psychiatrists to cite insufficient time (89.1% vs 72.7%), concerns about offending patients (47.8% vs 29.9%), and disapproval from colleagues as reasons (28.3% vs 13.0%).</p> Conclusions <p>Most psychiatrists and psychiatry residents working in Singapore’s public health sector appreciate the importance of addressing spiritual concerns in psychiatric care. However, they expressed insufficient knowledge and training in discussing spiritual matters with patients. Training programs should focus on building competency in assessment and incorporation of spirituality-related issues in management plans.</p>
