Spirituality has been found as a factor that may influence an individual´s health and response to illness and dying. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Howden´s Spiritual Assessment Scale(SAS). The SAS was developed based on the attributes of spirituality and constructed with 28 items, 4 subscales.
The translation involved four steps : translation into Korean, checking agreement, back translation into English, and arriving at a consensus. Psychometric evaluation was done on 222 nurses from five hospitals. All responses were voluntary and anonymous. The Cronbach´s alpa coefficient for internal consistency was .928 for the total 28 items and .700∼.805 for subdimensions. Item- total correlations ranged from .36∼.68. Principal Component Factor Analysis with Varimax Rotation yielded four factors with four or more items each loading at .40 or higher. These factors explained 51.3% of the total variance. The items clustered in this study were almost identical with initial scale. There was positive correlation(r=.648, p=.0001) between SAS and Ellison & Paloutzian´s Spiritual Wellbeing Scale and negative correlation(r=-.418, p=.000) with Pines´ Burnout Scale which indicate convergent and discriminant validity.
In conclusion, this tool can be effectively utilized for assessing spirituality in Korea.
