Religious and spiritual (R/S) issues impact medical decision-making, particularly among highly R/S populations, for whom existing measures have limitations in identifying levels of R/S commitment. The Belief into Action (BIAc) scale was designed for this purpose and was never tested among hospitalized patients. We interviewed 152 patients (51% men) with a mean age of 48.9 years (SD = 15.2), having either cancer (27%), cardiovascular (26%), rheumatic (21%), or other diseases (26%). Cronbach alpha was .82 and a 3-factor structure (subjective, social, and private religious commitment) was the most robust. Results suggest the BIAc has adequate convergent, divergent, and incremental validity compared to other well-established questionnaires and is appropriate for the inpatient setting.
宗教和精神（R/S）问题会影响医疗决策，尤其是在高度 R/S 的人群中，对于这些人群，现有措施在确定 R/S 承诺程度方面存在局限性。信仰行动量表（BIAc）就是为此目的而设计的，从未在住院患者中进行过测试。我们采访了 152 名患者（51%为男性），平均年龄为 48.9 岁（标准差=15.2），患有癌症（27%）、心血管疾病（26%）、风湿性疾病（21%）或其他疾病（26%）。克朗巴赫阿尔法系数为.82，具有 3 个因子结构（主观、社会和私人宗教承诺）是最稳健的。结果表明，与其他成熟的问卷相比，BIAc 具有足够的收敛、发散和增量有效性，适用于住院环境。
