Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese Version of the Spiritual Care-giving Scale (C-SCGS) in nursing undergraduates and its application.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 262 senior nursing undergraduates from Chengde Medical University, China from May to June, 2023 through convenience sampling method. The C-SCGS and the general demographic data table were employed to investigate the subjects.
Results: The C-SCGS retained 34 items, and four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, with a cumulative contribution rate of 65.15%. The I-CVI value of the scale was 0.88-1.0, and the S-CVI/Ave value was 0.94. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.957, that of each dimension ranged from 0.850 to 0.944, with a split-half coefficient of 0.887.
Conclusion: The C-SCGS may be used to evaluate the spiritual cognition of Chinese nursing undergraduates by virtue of its good reliability and validity.
