Abstract

"Background: In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in studying the effects of spirituality/religiosity on health. Many studies concluded that spirituality/religiosity has a beneficial effect on mental and physical health. To study these effects, validated instruments for measuring spirituality are needed. A good example of a largely used instrument is the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES). The current study sought to examine the psychometric properties of Romanian version of DSES. Method: Exploratory Factor Analysis and Principal Components Analysis were used to confirm the construct validity of the scale. The internal consistency of the scale was determined using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: 70 patients with a diagnosis of depression and 160 healthy volunteers were included in this cross-sectional study. Cronbach’s alpha indicated excellent internal consistency of the scale. Principal Component Analysis indicated a two-component solution in both samples. Conclusions: Our study confirmed the validity and reliability of the Romanian version of DSES and it encourages its use in future studies of spirituality or studies regarding the influence of spirituality on depression."

罗马尼亚临床样本每日精神体验量表的心理测量学特征。一项初步研究

“背景：在过去的几十年里，人们对研究精神/宗教信仰对健康的影响越来越感兴趣。许多研究得出结论，精神/宗教对身心健康有着有益的影响。要研究这些影响，需要经过验证的测量精神的仪器。一个被广泛使用的仪器的一个很好的例子是《每日精神体验》ces量表（DSES）。目前的研究试图检验罗马尼亚版DSES的心理测量特性。方法：采用探索性因素分析和主成分分析对量表的结构有效性进行验证。该量表的内部一致性是使用Cronbachα来确定的。结果：70名诊断为抑郁症的患者和160名健康志愿者被纳入本横断面研究。Cronbachα表示量表具有良好的内部一致性。主成分分析表明，两个样品均为双组分溶液。结论：我们的研究证实了罗马尼亚版DSES的有效性和可靠性，并鼓励在未来的精神研究或关于精神对抑郁症影响的研究中使用它。“
