To translate and validate the Nurse Spiritual Therapeutics Scale (NSTS) among cancer patients in Beijing, China.
Spirituality is an essential and integrating facet of persons. However, spirituality is a new concept for most people in mainland China.
The NSTS was translated, adapted and content-validated. The psychometric evaluation was performed with data collected from cancer patients hospitalised in one of the two academic medical centres. After computing the scale content validity index (S-CVI), exploratory factor analysis was conducted to understand the content validity of the scale. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. GRRAS checklist was used to enhance the quality and transparency of this research.
Participants (N = 153) completed the 18-item C-NSTS. The S-CVI of the C-NSTS was 0.92. Cronbach's alpha of C-NSTS was 0.88. The C-NSTS was observed to include three factors (providing of religious support, listening to one's life perception and finding of one's value) and three additional items that did not adequately load onto a factor, yet were retained given their face value. Together, these factors explained 65.2% of the variance.
This initial psychometric evaluation of the 18-item C-NSTS demonstrated it to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess cancer patients' wishes regarding nurse-provided spiritual care in the Chinese culture.
These findings could be used for spiritual care, hospice and palliative care, undergraduate or graduate studies.
将护士精神治疗量表（NSTS）翻译成并验证其在中国北京癌症患者中的适用性。
精神性是人的一个重要且综合的方面。然而，精神性对中国大陆的大多数人来说是一个新概念。
NSTS 经过翻译、改编和内容验证。通过在两家学术医疗中心之一住院的癌症患者收集的数据进行了心理测量评估。计算量表内容效度指数（S-CVI）后，进行探索性因子分析以了解量表的内容效度。采用 Cronbach's alpha 评估内部一致性。GRRAS 清单用于提高这项研究的质量和透明度。
共有 153 名参与者完成了 18 项中文版 NSTS（C-NSTS）。C-NSTS 的 S-CVI 为 0.92。C-NSTS 的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.88。C-NSTS 被观察到包含三个因素（提供宗教支持、倾听个人的生活观念和寻找个人价值）和三个额外的项目，这些项目虽然没有充分加载到一个因素上，但由于其表面价值而被保留。这三个因素共同解释了 65.2%的方差。
对 18 项中文版 NSTS 的初步心理测量评估表明，它是一种有效的、可靠的工具，可以评估中国文化中癌症患者对护士提供精神关怀的愿望。
这些发现可用于精神关怀、临终关怀和姑息治疗、本科或研究生学习。
