The purpose was to develop a standardised scale of spirituality that can be used in clinical settings across the heterogeneous spectrum of South African cultural, religious and faith traditions. Participants (n = 445) were recruited from local health science students and Factor Analysis with promax...

520 |a The purpose was to develop a standardised scale of spirituality that can be used in clinical settings across the heterogeneous spectrum of South African cultural, religious and faith traditions. Participants (n = 445) were recruited from local health science students and Factor Analysis with promax (oblique) rotation was used to determine underlying dimensions in the data. Finally, a Factor Analysis of 32 items was conducted with six factors explaining 61% of the variance. Internal consistency for each of the scales examined using Cronbach's alpha, was adequate with all alphas > .7. All the subscales were significantly correlated with p < .0001, with only the positive correlation between "Beyond" and "Meaning" (r = .63) found to be of note. Six distinct reasonably internally consistent factors were identified to underlie the responses to the spirituality scale items, namely: "Beyond", "Awareness". "Meaning", "Others", "Journey" and "Connection". These results can be used to further develop this local measure of spirituality.
