“…The seventh article, also from 2014, involved a combination of the aforementioned dataset with data collected in Indonesia by Karimah et al in a cross-cultural comparison on "Religious/spiritual characteristics of Indian and Indonesian physicians and their acceptance of spirituality in health care" [17]. The researchers investigated differences in Indian and Indonesian physicians' R/S characteristics and found Indonesian physicians to score higher on a range of R/S measures than their Indian colleagues.…”

Abstract:Modern healthcare research has only in recent years investigated the impact of health care workers' religious and other moral values on medical practice, interaction with patients, and ethically complex decision-making. Thus far, no international data exist on the way such values vary across representatives of several national research groups came together and worked at optimizing the survey instrument for future use on the basis of the existing datasets. Research groups were identified through personal contacts with researchers requesting to use the instrument, as well as through two literature searches. Data were assembled in Stata and synchronized for their comparability using a matched intersection design based on the items in the original questionnaire. With a few optimizations and added modules appropriate for cultures more secular than that of the United States, the survey instrument holds promise as a tool for future comparative analyses. The pool at this stage consists of data from eleven studies conducted by research teams in nine different countries over six continents with responses from more than 6000 health professionals. Inspection of data between groups suggests large differences in religious and other moral values across nations and cultures, and that these values account for differences in health professional's clinical practices.

“…Samples from Indonesia and India were collected in a joint collaboration under a single study. The Indonesian sample by Karimah was finished in 2010 (single facility, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, East Java, all physicians) [15], and the Indian sample was collected from 2010 to 2012 by Ramakrishnan (multiple facilities, mixed HPs) [14,15,17]. The Danish version was translated in 2009 and data were collected in the years 2011-2012 (Region of Southern Denmark, all physicians) (not published yet).…”

The International NERSH Data Pool—A Methodological Description of a Data Pool of Religious and Spiritual Values of Health Professionals from Six Continents

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Collaboration within the recently established Network for Research on Spirituality and Health (NERSH) has made it possible to pool data from 14 different surveys from six continents. All surveys are largely based on the questionnaire by Curlin "Religion and Spirituality in Medicine, Perspectives of Physicians" (RSMPP). This article is a methodological description of the process of building the International NERSH Data Pool. The larger contours of the data are described using frequency statistics. Five subscales in the data pool (including the already established DUREL scale) were tested using Cronbach's alpha and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). 5724 individuals were included, of which 57% were female and the mean age was 41.5 years with a 95% confidence interval (CI) ranging from 41.2 to 41.8. Most respondents were physicians (n = 3883), nurses (n = 1189), and midwives (n = 286); but also psychologists (n = 50), therapists (n = 44), chaplains (n = 5), and students (n = 10) were included. The DUREL scale was assessed with Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.92) and PCA confirmed its reliability and unidimensionality. The new scales covering the dimensions of "Religiosity of Health Professionals (HPs)" (α = 0.89), "Willingness of Physicians to Interact with Patients Regarding R/S Issues" (α = 0.79), "Religious Objections to Controversial Issues in Medicine" (α = 0.78), and "R/S as a Calling" (α = 0.82), also proved unidimensional in the PCAs. We argue that the proposed scales are relevant and reliable measures of religious dimensions within the data pool. Finally, we outline future studies already planned based on the data pool, and invite interested researchers to join the NERSH collaboration.
