Although clinical and empirical literature documents the variety of spiritual care interventions available to palliative care clinicians, the frequency with which they are provided is rarely and inadequately measured. Given the growing interest in implementing spiritual care across Asia, including South Korea, this study sought to cross-culturally validate the Korean version of the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS-K), a scale initially developed in the United States. The World Health Organization process for cross-cultural adaptation of scales and Polit and Yang's process for evaluating validation were implemented. With data from a sample of 252 Korean nurses providing care to patients with life-threatening illnesses, various statistical procedures for evaluating validity and reliability were applied during this cross-sectional, observational study. Exploratory factor analysis for the structural validity of the Korean scale generated 3 factors that accounted for 69.40% of the variance. The Cronbach α was 0.95. The NSCTS-K is one of the few scales available to determine the impact of nurse-provided spiritual care frequency on patient outcomes. Thus, this tool can quantify the frequency of spiritual care better and be used in quality improvement initiatives or palliative care research.
尽管临床和实证文献记录了姑息治疗临床医生可采用的多种精神护理干预措施，但这些措施的提供频率却很少得到充分衡量。鉴于包括韩国在内的亚洲地区对实施精神护理的兴趣日益浓厚，本研究旨在对最初在美国开发的护士精神护理治疗量表（NSCTS-K）的韩语版本进行跨文化验证。采用了世界卫生组织量表跨文化适应流程以及波利特和杨的验证评估流程。通过对252名护理危及生命疾病患者的韩国护士样本数据进行分析，在这项横断面观察性研究中应用了各种评估效度和信度的统计程序。对韩语量表结构效度的探索性因素分析产生了3个因素，这些因素占方差的69.40%。克朗巴赫α系数为0.95。NSCTS-K是少数可用于确定护士提供精神护理频率对患者结局影响的量表之一。因此，该工具可以更好地量化精神护理的频率，并可用于质量改进计划或姑息治疗研究。
