Spirituality is a critical dimension in palliative care, but difficulties have been described in literature concerning the effective implementation and measuring of spiritual care.
To translate, adapt and validate the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS) in Portuguese palliative care settings.
A methodological study was conducted. A final version of the questionnaire included the scale and was submitted to full psychometric testing using nurses working in Portuguese palliative care settings.
A total of 88 nurses participated. The average age of the sample was 36.1 ± 8.93 years (range 23-60 years), and 92.0% were women. A Cronbach alpha value of 0.88; Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy 0.80; and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity were adequate. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted using principal axis factoring with an oblimin rotation that resulted in a three-factors solution.
The European Portuguese NSCTS questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to assess the frequency of nurses' activities concerning spirituality in palliative care.
灵性是姑息治疗中的一个关键维度，但文献中描述了在灵性护理的有效实施和测量方面存在困难。
在葡萄牙姑息治疗环境中翻译、改编并验证护士灵性护理治疗量表（NSCTS）。
进行了一项方法学研究。问卷的最终版本包括该量表，并提交给在葡萄牙姑息治疗环境中工作的护士进行全面的心理测量测试。
共有88名护士参与。样本的平均年龄为36.1±8.93岁（范围23 - 60岁），92.0%为女性。克朗巴哈α值为0.88；凯泽 - 迈耶 - 奥尔金抽样适当性度量为0.80；巴特利特球形检验结果良好。使用主轴因子分析和斜交旋转进行探索性因子分析，得到了一个三因子解决方案。
欧洲葡萄牙语版的NSCTS问卷是评估护士在姑息治疗中涉及灵性活动频率的有效且可靠的工具。
