“…The scores of religious and existential well‐being subscales ranged 10–60, and total scores ranged 20–120. The SWS has a Persian version (Biglari Abhari, Fisher, Kheiltash, & Nojomi, 2018; Kazemzadeh Atoofi, Dadfar, Turan, & Behnam, 2019) and a Portuguese version (de Araujo Toloi et al, 2016). Paloutzian and Ellison (1991) reported test–retest reliability coefficients for the religious well‐being, existential well‐being subscales and the total SWS were 0.63, 0.86, 0.93 and Cronbach α were 0.91, 0.93 and 0.91, respectively.…”

More generally, Abdel-Khalek (2007, 2013a) has argued that love of life is a sub-component of the construct of subjective well-being and it is relevant to the disciplines of positive psychology and health psychology. Love of life is defined as a positive evaluation of one's own life and involves holding on strongly to life, grasping at life, having a pleasurable attachment to life and having an appreciation for life. However, the love of life concept is not related to the Freudian concept of Eros or the life instinct (see Campbell, 1996). Research has shown that love of life is positively associated with extraversion and negatively associated with psychoticism and neuroticism (Abdel-Khalek, 2013a). Love of life is associated with having

“…For the MI-RSWB-S, Cronbach's α was between 0.67 (SM) and 0.97 (GR) for the subscales and 0.94 for the joint factor RSWB-R. Accordingly, the reliability of the MI-RSWB was generally shown to be consistent across different translations (e.g., Unterrainer et al, 2010aUnterrainer et al, , 2012Stefa-Missagli et al, 2014;Berger et al, 2016;Malinovic et al, 2016;Agarkov et al, 2018), with the exception of the Farsi adaptation, where Cronbach's α for HT and SM was considerably lower (see Dadfar et al, 2019;Kazemzadeh Atoofi et al, 2019).…”

BackgroundIn the field of mental health, religiosity and spirituality have gained particular attention in recent decades. However, only a few studies to date have investigated the effects of different types of religiosity and spirituality. In association with the recent introduction of a Swedish version of the multidimensional inventory of religious/spiritual well-being (MI-RSWB-S), the present study aimed to identify possible types of Religious/Spiritual Well-Being by using cluster analyses and to examine the extracted groups for differences in the sense of coherence (SOC), the Big Five personality factors, and central aspects of religiosity. Additionally, the study design was intended to further contribute to the validation of the MI-RSWB-S.MethodsBased on a convenience sample of Swedish students (N = 1,011), initially obtained for the development of the MI-RSWB-S, the study included the MI-RSWB-S, the 13-items sense of coherence scale, the 10-item personality inventory, and the centrality of religiosity scale. For the statistical analysis, cluster analyses and one-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were conducted.ResultsThe cluster analyses yielded the following four groups: Religiosity and spirituality high (n = 124), religiously oriented (n = 200), spiritually oriented (n = 149), and religiosity and spirituality low (n = 538). The groups differed in most aspects of well-being, in the personality dimensions agreeableness and openness to experience, as well as in central aspects of religiosity. In contrast, no differences were found for SOC, extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional instability.ConclusionOur results suggest that different types of religious/spiritual well-being are associated with mental health and personality dimensions in substantially different ways, thus offering an interesting potential for future research.

“…There is a need for an accurate tool to measure this concept among patients with cancer in the country of Iran, where Islam is the official religion. In Iran, there is increasing interest in the assessment of spiritual wellbeing as well as validation of a spiritual well-being scale among specific sub-populations, such as healthy people (Dadfar et al, 2019), older populations (Hallaj et al, 2014), psychiatric outpatients (Kazemzadeh Atoofi et al, 2020), and patients with acute myocardial infarction (Soleimani et al, 2017).…”

Psychometric evaluation of the Persian version of the spiritual well-being scale (SWBS) in Iranian patients with cancer

et al. 2021

Objective The spiritual well-being scale (SWBS) is a widely used clinical scale which should be evaluated for Iranian patients with cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the SWBS in Iranian patients with cancer. Method This cross-sectional, methodological study was conducted among Iranian patients with cancer (n = 400). The participants were recruited using convenience sampling. The content, construct, convergent and discriminant validity, and reliability of the Persian version of the SWBS were evaluated. Results A two-factor structure for the scale was indicated with the factors being: connecting with God and meaningless life that explained 54.18% of the total variance of the concept of spiritual well-being. The results demonstrated the model had a good fit. Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, and the inter-item correlation values of the factors indicated good internal consistency of the scale. Significance of results These results suggest that the Persian version of the SWBS is a reliable and valid measure to assess the spiritual well-being of patients with cancer through 16 items related to connecting with God and meaningless life.
