“…The Inner Peace needs domain of the Lithuanian version of SpNQ-20 had the lowest internal consistency (α = 0.69) in relation to other domains: Religious needs (α = 0.93), Existential needs (α = 0.83) and Giving/Generativity and Forgiveness needs (α = 0.75). These measures corresponded with the psychometric assessment of the Persian version of SpNQ (Moeini et al, 2018) and were rather similar to Chinese versions of the instrument (with exception to Inner peace needs and Giving/Generativity and Forgiveness needs domains) (Büssing et al, 2013a) and original SpNQ validation (with the Religious needs and Existential needs domains as the most consistent in relation to two others) (Büssing et al, 2010). Split-half correlation to assess how well components of SpNQ contribute to the construct that was being measured, i.e.…”

“…Existential (deep thinking/meaning) (α=0.84): To think about the past life, talk with someone about the meaning of life/suffering, reveal some aspects of life, and talk about the possibility of another life after death 4. Active forgiveness/productivity (α=0.82): To have an active or automatic intention to sympathize with others, transfer life experiences to others, and ensure that life has been meaningful and valuable (12) The validity and reliability of the Persian version of the questionnaire were confirmed by the researcher (13).

Background and Objectives: The evaluation and accurate recognition of all the needs and problems of patients, including spiritual needs, are inevitable to increase the quality of nursing care. This study aimed to evaluate the spiritual needs and their association with anxiety and depression in the elderly with chronic diseases. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 100 patients with chronic diseases above 60 years of age. The subjects were selected through convenience sampling in the two hospitals of Qom, Iran, in 2017. Data collection tools were demographic characteristics questionnaire, as well as the questionnaire of spiritual needs and hospital anxiety and depression scale. Results: In this study, the mean age of the subjects was 65.4±5.2 years. All the patients were reported with at least a spiritual need. The highest score related to the item of "requesting help from God" was 2.31±0.76, whereas the lowest score related to the item of "talking with others about the life after death" was 0.66±0.98. The results of regression analysis demonstrated that among the variables entered into the univariate model, the two variables of depression and disease duration had a significant relation with spiritual needs. Conclusion: Unmet spiritual needs were reported high in the elderly with chronic diseases, and depression, as well as disease duration, were the effective factors in the spiritual needs of the elderly with chronic diseases. Therefore, the spiritual needs of patients with chronic diseases should be considered in clinical care in order to identify potential therapeutic ways to support and stabilize their emotional state.

“…However, at the time of writing our review, Büssing and colleagues further published an article increasing the validity of this measure by examining the structure of the SpNQ in a large sample of ill and healthy younger and elderly adults (n-2095) (Büssing et al 2018). The SpNQ has also been translated into several languages including Chinese (Bussing et al 2013a) and Persian (Moeini et al 2018).…”

Aims: Numerous measures exist that assess dimensions of spirituality and religiosity in health, theological and social settings. In this review, we aim to identify and evaluate measures assessing factors relating to spirituality and religiosity in clinical settings. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE and PsycINFO databases with search terms relating to spirituality, religiosity that also included well-being, needs, distress and beliefs used in self-reporting and clinician-administered measures. Only articles relating to the validation and subsequent administration of measures used in clinical settings were eligible for review. Results: Of 75 measures selected for initial screening, 25 had been validated and used in clinical settings and were reviewed for this study. Most measures were validated in oncological and palliative care settings where the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Spiritual Well-being (FACIT-Sp12) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Spiritual, Religious and Personal Beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB) were most validated and frequently used. Only six measures were found that assessed spiritual distress and/or the needs of which only two had been investigated more than twice. Two measures assessing spirituality and religious beliefs in healthcare staff were also reviewed. Conclusions: This review provides a current summary of measures evaluating several dimensions of spirituality and religiosity used in clinical settings. Currently there is a lack of reliable measures evaluating spiritual needs and distress.
