Abstract

The first step to evaluate spiritual health as an essential component of multidimensional patient care is using a valid scale. This study aimed to provide a psychometric evaluation of the Spiritual Dryness Scale. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 136 patients with cancer in Arak city, Iran. Face and content validity, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to assess the validity and construct validity respectively, and Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest were calculated to measure internal consistency. The results indicated that the scale had appropriate face validity and the total mean score was 1.514 ±.74. All items had suitable CVR and CVI higher than.8. The ICC of the scale was.999, and Cronbach's alpha was.899 in the test– retest. The fit index was satisfactory (χ2 /df = 1.187). This scale had appropriate validity and reliability after translation into Farsi and was convenient, accessible, inexpensive, and easy-to-use. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
