BACKGROUND: The patients may attribute different meanings to diseases and develop various coping mechanisms to cope with them depending on the geography and cultures. In this respect, spirituality is an important dimension that patients frequently refer to in chronic and life-threatening diseases such as cancer. In the Turkiye, the availability of measurement tools designed to assess patients' spiritual needs remains limited. This study aimed to adapt the The Spiritual Needs Assessment for Patients scale into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. METHODS: The scale adaptation process involved the following steps: (1) translation and cross-cultural adaptation and (2) psychometric evaluation, including factor analysis, reliability analysis, and inter-item correlation assessment. 453 patients with cancer were included in the study. The data were collected in 2023. The participants were patients with cancer who were receiving outpatient and inpatient treatment in the medical oncology and hematology clinics of three university hospitals in Turkiye. Data collection tools included the Patient Information Form and the Spiritual Needs Assessment for Patients scale. Validity was examined through content and structural validity assessments, while reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability. RESULTS: The content validity index of the T-SNAP was calculated as 80.54%. The exploratory factor analysis indicated 3 factors (psychosocial needs, spiritual needs, religious needs) with 23 items. The combined three factors accounted for 66.92% of the total variance. The factor loadings ranged from 0.43 to 0.96. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.95, and the test-retest reliability score was 0.96. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that the T-SNAP scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients in Turkiye.
背景:根据地域和文化的不同,患者可能会赋予疾病不同的含义,并发展出各种应对机制来应对疾病。在这方面,灵性是患者在癌症等慢性和危及生命的疾病中经常提及的一个重要维度。在土耳其,旨在评估患者精神需求的测量工具仍然有限。本研究旨在将《患者精神需求评估量表》改编为土耳其语版本,并检验其心理测量特性。 方法:量表改编过程包括以下步骤:(1)翻译和跨文化改编,以及(2)心理测量评估,包括因子分析、信度分析和项目间相关性评估。本研究纳入了453例癌症患者。数据于2023年收集。参与者为在土耳其三家大学医院的医学肿瘤学和血液学门诊接受门诊和住院治疗的癌症患者。数据收集工具包括《患者信息表》和《患者精神需求评估量表》。通过内容效度和结构效度评估来检验效度,使用Cronbach's α系数和重测信度来测量信度。 结果:土耳其语版《患者精神需求评估量表》(T-SNAP)的内容效度指数计算为80.54%。探索性因子分析表明该量表有3个因子(心理社会需求、精神需求、宗教需求),共23个项目。这三个因子共同解释了总方差的66.92%。因子载荷范围为0.43至0.96。Cronbach's α系数为0.95,重测信度得分为0.96。 结论:研究结果表明,T-SNAP量表是评估土耳其患者精神需求的可靠且有效的工具。
