Spiritual quality of life and spiritual coping: evidence for a two-factor structure of the WHOQOL spirituality religiousness and personal beliefs module

摘要

BackgroundThe WHOQOL-SRPB has been a useful module to measure aspects of QOL related to spirituality, religiousness, and personal beliefs, but recent research has pointed to potential problems with its proposed factor structure. Three of the eight facets of the WHOQOL-SRPB have been identified as potentially different from the others, and to date only a limited number of factor analyses of the instrument have been published.
