Spiritually healthy individuals tend to be optimistic and have better coping mechanisms
towards stress. The present study compared the Daily Spiritual Experience among
medical science and non- medical science using the Daily Spirituality Experience
Scale. Furthermore, correlation between daily spiritual experience and its relationship
with depression among other sub-groups of medical science and non- medical science
students was assessed. The students were selected from medical science (N=25)
and non- medical science colleges(N=25). Statistical measure used was independent
sample t-test and correlational analysis. The results indicate that there is no significant
difference in Daily Spirituality Experience among different sub-groups of medical science
and non- medical science students. The results of correlational analysis indicate Daily
Spirituality Experience and its relationship with depression (-.210) and gender (- .300) were negatively correlated. Location and profession show weak positive
correlation with spirituality and depression
