| description | Introduction. Spiritual care is defined as activities and interventions that promote spiritual health and the spiritual dimension of quality of life. Empirical data indicate the importance that spiritual care provision has on nursing practice. The spiritual care intervention-provision (SCIP) scale was developed to assess the frequency of spiritual care intervention implemented by nurses. Currently, there are no validated scales for assessing spiritual care in the Greek language. Objective. To adapt and validate the spiritual care intervention-provision scale in the Greek language. Methods. A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed, in which 275 nurses working in two public hospitals participated. The SCIP scale underwent the process of cross-cultural adaptation and was evaluated by assessing its reliability and validity. Results. The process resulted in a valid Greek version of the SCIPS, the internal consistency (Cronbach’s α 0.887), reliability testing-retesting (r = 0.997, p<0.001, and t = 0.387, p>0.05), construct, and convergent validities were evaluated. Conclusion. The Greek version of the spiritual care intervention-provision scale is a validated scale that can be used to examine spiritual care provision in Greek health services. |
