A decade ago, an expert panel developed a framework for measuring spirituality/religion in health research (Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality), but empirical testing of this framework has been limited. The purpose of this study was to determine whether responses to items across multiple measures assessing spirituality/religion by 450 patients with HIV replicate this model. We hypothesized a six-factor model underlying a collective of 56 items, but results of confirmatory factor analyses suggested eight dimensions: Meaning/Peace, Tangible Connection to the Divine, Positive Religious Coping, Love/Appreciation, Negative Religious Coping, Positive Congregational Support, Negative Congregational Support, and Cultural Practices. This study corroborates parts of the factor structure underlying the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality and some recent refinements of the original framework.
十年前,一个专家小组制定了一个衡量健康研究中灵性/宗教的框架(简短多维宗教/灵性衡量量表),但对该框架的实证检验有限。本研究的目的是确定 450 名 HIV 患者对多项灵性/宗教评估工具的项目反应是否复制了这一模式。我们假设一个由 56 个项目组成的集体有六个因素模型,但验证性因素分析的结果表明有八个维度:意义/平和、与神圣的有形联系、积极的宗教应对、爱/欣赏、消极的宗教应对、积极的会众支持、消极的会众支持和文化实践。本研究证实了简短多维宗教/灵性衡量量表背后的部分因素结构,以及原始框架的一些最新改进。
