Spiritual well-being is an important issue in health sciences, hence the need for validated instruments to assess this aspect of health in the Iranian population. The aim of the current study was to determine the validity of the Persian versions of 2 most common measures of spiritual health (Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire [SWBQ] or Spiritual Health and Life-Orientation Measure [SHALOM] and Spiritual Well-Being Scale [SWBS]).
This was a cross-sectional study via a convenience sampling method in Iran University of Medical Sciences with 170 participants aged above 18 years comprising students, teachers, and administrative staff and managers. The study was conducted from September 7, 2014 to September 20, 2015 in Tehran. Four questionnaires, namely the SWBQ, SWBS, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), were used. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 18 and LISREL (version 8.2). Cronbach's alpha, intra-class correlation coefficient, Pearson correlation, and confirmatory factor analysis were employed to assess the validity and reliability of the questionnaires.
Cronbach's alpha for the SWBQ and the SWBS was greater than 0.85. The repeatability of both questionnaires was between 0.88 and 0.98. The Pearson correlation for the SWBQ and the SWBS ranged from 0.33 to 0.53; and all the correlations were significant. The respondents who indicated a higher spiritual well-being also reported better general health and happiness.
The Persian versions of the SWBS and the SWBQ have good reliability, repeatability, and validity to assess spiritual health in the Iranian population.
精神健康是健康科学中的一个重要问题，因此需要经过验证的工具来评估伊朗人群健康的这一方面。本研究的目的是确定两种最常用的精神健康测量工具（精神幸福感问卷[SWBQ]或精神健康与生活取向测量工具[SHALOM]以及精神幸福感量表[SWBS]）波斯语版本的有效性。
这是一项在伊朗医科大学采用便利抽样法进行的横断面研究，共有170名18岁以上的参与者，包括学生、教师、行政人员和管理人员。该研究于2014年9月7日至2015年9月20日在德黑兰进行。使用了四份问卷，即SWBQ、SWBS、一般健康问卷（GHQ - 12）和牛津幸福感问卷（OHQ）。使用SPSS 18和LISREL（版本8.2）进行统计分析。采用克朗巴哈系数、组内相关系数、皮尔逊相关系数和验证性因素分析来评估问卷的有效性和可靠性。
SWBQ和SWBS的克朗巴哈系数大于0.85。两份问卷的重复性在0.88至0.98之间。SWBQ和SWBS的皮尔逊相关系数在0.33至0.53之间；所有相关性均显著。表示精神幸福感较高的受访者也报告了更好的总体健康状况和幸福感。
SWBS和SWBQ的波斯语版本在评估伊朗人群的精神健康方面具有良好的可靠性、重复性和有效性。
