While measuring physical, mental, and social health as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), the basis of measurement is in terms of Determinants. Recently with the advent of health promotion activities, the emphasis is on enabling individuals, groups, and societies to have control on these Determinants. To measure the spiritual health, the 4(th) Dimension, a Spiritual Health Scale consisting of 3 Domains, 6 Constructs, and 27 Determinants of spiritual health were identified through a scientific process. A statistically reliable and valid Spiritual Health Scale (SHS 2011) containing 114 items has been developed. Construct validity and test-retest reliability has been established. The 3 Domains are: Self-Evolution, Self-Actualization, and Transcendence. In this article, the process of self evolution in terms of "Wider Perspective" and "Nurturance-Art" have been captured through the Determinants like Commitment, Introspection, Honesty, Creativity, Contemplation, Prayer, Philanthropy, Extending Self, Empathy, Yoga and Exercise, Questioning Injustice, Aesthetics, Value for Time, and Being Away From Comparisons.
在按照世界卫生组织(WHO)所定义的方式衡量身体、心理和社会健康时,衡量的基础在于决定因素。最近随着健康促进活动的出现,重点在于使个人、群体和社会能够掌控这些决定因素。为了衡量精神健康这第四维度,通过科学过程确定了一个由3个领域、6个构成要素和27个精神健康决定因素组成的精神健康量表。已开发出一个包含114个条目的具有统计学可靠性和有效性的精神健康量表(SHS 2011)。构建效度和重测信度已经确立。这3个领域是:自我进化、自我实现和超越。在本文中,通过诸如承诺、内省、诚实、创造力、沉思、祈祷、慈善、扩展自我、同理心、瑜伽与锻炼、质疑不公正、美学、对时间的重视以及不做比较等决定因素,捕捉了“更广阔视角”和“培育艺术”方面的自我进化过程。
