“…The integration of spirituality into social work practice provides an opportunity for a more holistic approach that enhances the practitioner's ability to respect and empower client potential. Spirituality is the pathway through which practitioners can see the spirit realm, the world of wholeness, vast potential, and hope (Lee, 2019). The social worker's familiarity and comfort with spiritual assessment, spiritual language, and various religious and/or spiritual practices will improve clinical work with patients with chronic cancer by providing insight to guide appropriate social work interventions designed to enhance spiritual well-being (Stewart, 2014).…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to make an adaptation of the Spirituality Measurement Scale into Turkish to evaluate the spirituality of clients for social workers. Methods: A total of 385 students from the Department of Social Work at Ankara University, were included in the research. The online survey method was used as a data collection method. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a 5-factor model with 38 items similar to the original study. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found as 0.919 and test-retest reliability was 0.868 in this study. Also, concurrent validity analysis results confirmed that higher spirituality is associated with more positive life orientation and higher life satisfaction. Discussion: This study suggests that the Turkish Spirituality Measurement Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool to be used in the social work field. Spirituality can be evaluated in the field of mental health in youth welfare.

“…Strengths-based approaches have been subject to criticism from practitioners who point out that when people are experiencing significant difficulties it is sometimes hard to avoid being 'problem-focussed' and retain faith in the possibility of change. Indeed, a strengths-based orientation is sometimes framed in the language of faith, hope, belief and spirit, and placed in opposition to rational and empirical approaches (see for example Lee 2019).…”

“…In psychology during last few decades, self-concept became the prevalent topic and so the spirituality to build cognition for improving academic and life learning. The spirituality has been studied in many ways such as its effect on wellbeing and mental health (Koenig, 2009), social strength (Lee, 2019), intelligence (Srivastava, 2017), cognition (Hosseini et al, 2019). In recent time, (Penman, 2021) explored how does spirituality affect cognition and behaviour.…”

Authors have advocated for the inclusion of spiritual cognition awareness (SCA) as a domain in metacognition with metacognitive knowledge (MCK) and metacognitive regulation (MCR). It is in our understanding the knowledge comes from within (i.e., spirituality) are the innate ability to know and regulate own cognitive process. Previous literature supports the notion that spirituality has positive effect in students’ cognition, thus enhances their learning. The self-report assessment to measure metacognition as domain-specific ability associated to spiritual cognition (knowledge) is not found in previous literature. The authors have included the spiritual cognitive awareness as a domain in metacognition based on spiritual cognition theory, while tracing the descriptions as delineated in Indian psychological roots. This study elaborates the construction, development, and standardization of the 45-item Gurukula Kangri Metacognition awareness scale (GKMAS). The different properties of scale were confirmed by content validity, face validity (cognitive interview), demonstration of reliability (internal consistency, test-retest, split half), convergent validity and discriminant validity. The rigorous literature review has been carried out (for inclusion) before starting content and face validation process to fit SCA into metacognition. The 45-item GKMAS was administered on total 457 higher education students, received acceptable Cronbach’s alpha value for GKMAS and its SCA, MCK, and MCR. The study has also discussed implications of GKMAS in academic and corporate settings.
