“…The four factors extracted in the exploratory factor analysis were not consistent with the STS as a unidimensional instrument (Reed, 1986). However, the strongest factor represented well the conceptualization of self-transcendence as expanding self-boundaries in mul- www.kan.or.kr tiple ways.…”

“…The Spiritual Perspective Scale (SPS) and Self-transcendence Scale (STS) developed by Reed (1986;1987) have been widely used to measure spirituality that is more broadly defined. The theory of Self-transcendence (Reed, 2008) served as the theoretical basis for defining a spiritual perspective and self-transcendence.…”

“…The STS, developed by Reed (1986), consists of 15 items to measure self-transcendence which is the capacity of individuals to expand selfboundaries inwardly in introspective activities, outwardly in concern for others, transpersonally as a focus on things greater than the self, and temporally as the past and future may affect the present (Reed, 1986).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate the Spiritual Perspective Scale (SPS) and Self-transcendence Scale (STS) into Korean and test the psychometric properties of the instruments with Korean elders. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to implement the three stages of the study. Stage I consisted of translating and reviewing the scales by six experts. In Stage II, equivalence was tested by comparing the responses between the Korean and English versions among 71 bilingual adults. Stage III established the psychometric properties of the Korean versions SPS-K and STS-K among 154 Korean elders. Results: Cronbach's alpha of the SPS-K and the STS-K .97, and .85 respectively with Korean elders. Factor analysis showed that the SPS-K had one factor; the STS-K had four factors with one factor clearly representing self-transcendence as theorized. Both scales showed good reliability and validity for the translated Korean versions. However, continued study of the construct validity of the STS-K is needed. Conclusion: Study findings indicate that the SPS-K and the STS-K could be useful for nurses and geriatric researchers to assess a broadly defined spirituality, and to conduct research on spirituality and health among Korean elders. Use of these scales within a theory-based study may contribute to further knowledge about the role of spirituality in the health and well-being of Korean people facing health crises.

“…These characteristics were measured due to support in the literature that, for some people, spirituality and health status are associated with health care choices. Reed's Spiritual Perspective Scale (SPS) (Reed, 1986a(Reed, , 1986b was used as the measure of spirituality. The SPS is a 10-item scale that measures participants' perceptions of the extent to which they hold certain spiritual views and engage in spirituality-related interactions.…”

Objective-Explore use, cost, and satisfaction with the quality and effectiveness of complementary therapy among older rural adults. Design-Descriptive survey.Sample-A random sample of 325 older adults from rural communities throughout Montana and North Dakota. Measurements-Participants were interviewed by telephone.Results-Only 57 participants (17.5%) had used complementary providers and most sought this care for chronic problems, heard about providers through word-of-mouth information, and were satisfied with the care. A total of 35.7% (116) used self-directed complementary practices and most used these practices for health promotion, heard about them through informal sources, and found them to be at least somewhat helpful. Of the 325 participants, 45.2% (147) used some form of complementary care, e.g., providers, self-directed practices, or both. Participants used as much complementary care as is found in national studies. Most spent relatively little out-of-pocket for complementary care.Conclusions-Understanding the health care choices that older rural residents make, including complementary health care, is paramount for a comprehensive approach to meeting their health care needs. Keywords alternative therapy; complementary therapy use; older adults; rural healthIn the past several decades, there has been extraordinary growth in the attention paid to complementary therapy, in both the popular and the research arenas. Complementary therapy has been defined as a group of diverse health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered an integral part of allopathic health care (National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2004; http://nccam.nih.gov/health/whatiscam/). Examples include therapies provided by practitioners such as chiropractic, acupuncture, and NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript massage therapy, as well as self-directed practices such as nutritional and herbal supplements, meditation, and use of magnets.The fact that U.S. residents are using complementary therapy and that this use has grown over the past several decades is well documented in the literature (Astin, 1998;Eisenberg, Davis, Ettner, & Appel, 1998;McFarland, Bigelow, Zani, Newson, & Kapian, 2002;Paramore, 1997;Wolsko et al., 2000). Between 1990 and 1997, the use of complementary therapy in the United States increased by 25%, and 1997 expenditures grew to approximately $21.2 billion, with more than half of this amount out of pocket (Eisenberg et al., 1998). This exceeded the 1997 out-of-pocket spending on hospitalizations. Complementary therapy has become sufficiently mainstreamed for coverage by several health insurance plans ("Hospital plunges," 1996). Therapies that, in the past, were used as a last resort for chronic illnesses are now used as primary treatments (Paramore, 1997). These trends have far-reaching implications for community/public health nurses and other health care professionals who assist communitydwelling clients with the management o...

We describe the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative research methods used to develop and test the Adolescent Resilience Model (ARM). The differences in meaning‐based and function‐based health‐related quality of life (HRQL) are discussed, and method triangulation is presented as a means of developing models of HRQL that represent the perspectives of the adolescent and family. Qualitative methods of phenomenology, simultaneous concept analysis, focus groups and thematic analysis were used to generate the ARM. Quantitative instrumentation and structural equation model development and testing were used to evaluate the ARM. A decision‐making process for combining qualitative and quantitative research, so that both approaches are equally valued and used, is also presented. Int. J.
