| Summary: | The Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) was developed for self-assessment of spiritual care competencies by nurses and nursing students. This study reviews the use and results of the SCCS since its development in 2009. A literature review in PubMed, Cinahl and ResearchGate resulted in 53 articles from seventeen countries. Twelve studies made a cultural adaption and rearranged the 27 items of the SCCS. Mean total scores of the SCCS were in a small range (2.5–4.0 on a 5 point-scale), without differences between nurses and students (mean resp. 3.6 and 3.7). Cronbach's alpha for the total SCCS were also within a small range (0.87–0.97). Scores for the subscales had a wider range. Strong correlations were found between SCCS and spiritual factors. In conclusion, since its development in 2009, the SCCS is used worldwide for research purposes. Psychometrics confirm that in different countries the SCCS can be used as a valid tool, while in some contexts and cultures modifications may be needed. |
