“…Thus, students should be educated that they may not impose their beliefs systems on their clients. This study has been unable to demonstrate similar factor loadings in comparison with the previous study 20 . For instance, only seven out of nineteen items were loaded with the same factor loadings when compared with the study by Tiew and Creedy 20 .…”

“…There are, however, no reliable and valid instruments to measure these concepts among occupational therapy students. Thus, three research instruments were reviewed regarding measuring spirituality and spiritual care including the Spiritual CareGiving Scale (SCGS) 20 , the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) 21 and the Spirituality in Occupational Therapy Scale (SOTS) 22 .…”

“…The SCGS was found to be valid and reliable with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.96. Additionally, the findings from the SCGS might be used in preparation for continuous professional development to facilitate spiritual care 20 . Furthermore, the SCGS can be used as a spiritual assessment prior introducing the topic of spirituality to obtain a baseline of students' perceptions and attitudes regarding spirituality in institutions of higher education to inform integration of spirituality in education.…”

INTRODUCTIONFactor analysis forms part of the statistical methods which play an important role in reducing data through assessing and identifying simple patterns of relationships between variables within a measurement 1,2,3 . According to Kayastha et al. 2 and Venkaiah, et al. 3 , factor analysis attempts to ascertain whether observed variables can be explained in a smaller proportion of variables clustered in a set of measurements, which are then labelled as factors. Beavers et al. 1 recommended that for the purpose of factor analysis -researchers should allow for a sufficient sample size, consider the difference between component analysis and common factor analysis as well as rotation of initial factor pattern matrix. Therefore, the role of factor analysis can be better understood when considering the need for spirituality and its importance and relevance to occupational therapy. Spirituality in occupational therapyOccupational therapy is a profession that considers holistic and patient-centred approaches in order to provide effective intervention to clients 4 . For instance, the holistic approach supports the occupational therapists' view of clients' needs as related to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual spheres. However, most of the time the spiritual element of the holistic approach is neglected and not considered part of holism. Puchalski et al.5:646 defined spirituality as "a dynamic and intrinsic aspect of humanity through which persons seek ultimate meaning, purpose, and transcendence, ISSN On-line 2310-3833 Doi: http://dx.doi. org/10.17159/2310-3833/2016/v46n1a14 South African Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2016 46 (1): 74-82. An exploratory factor analysis into the applicability of the Spirituality Care-Giving Scale, the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and the Spirituality in Occupational Therapy Scale to the South African context and experience relationship to self, family, others, community, society, nature, and the significant or sacred. Spirituality is expressed through beliefs, values, traditions, and practices". Spirituality is thus an important aspect of holistic and patient-centred approaches in occupational therapy. This is also highlighted in the American Occupational Therapy Association's Occupational Therapy Practice Framework [OTPF] 6

Methods From May to July 2022, 442 nurses from community health clinics were chosen as survey respondents using the convenience sample method. The General Information Questionnaire, the version in Chinese of the Nurses' Spiritual Caregiving Awareness Scale and the Chinese version of the Spiritual Caregiving Competence Scale were used in the survey. There were 442 questionnaires distributed, 422 were collected, and the response rate was 95.4%. Results The amount of spiritual care competencies of community nurses was positively correlated with the level of spiritual awareness. Simultaneously, their level of education, religious beliefs, marital status and the degree of knowledge of spirituality were all influenced.

This study aimed to adapt an English version of the survey tool Spiritual Care-Giving Scale for Turkish students and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Spiritual care is a central element of holistic nursing, but is not often made explicit in the theoretical and practical components of preregistration nursing programs. A composite scale will assist in identifying students' perceptions and issues to be addressed in curricula and practice settings in Turkey. The scale was composed of 35 items and five subscales. Cronbach's α reliability coefficient was .96, and item-total point correlations were between .37 and .77. In addition, split-half reliability coefficient was .88. The Spiritual Care-Giving Scale was found to be a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the multifaceted perspectives of spirituality and spiritual care in practice by students. Further testing of this scale is required with other student populations and clinicians.
