Tools such as the "Introductory Information Form" and the "Spirituality Index of Well-Being" were used to collect data. Results: For the language validity of the index, expert opinions were taken, and a factor analysis was performed for construct validity. According to explanatory factor analysis, it was found out that the index demonstrates a two-factor construct and factor values are in an appropriate range, and according to confirmatory factor analysis it was determined that the two-factor construct of the index is valid and the fit values are appropriate. It was found out that the Cronbach alpha coefficient is 0.858 and total item score correlation coefficient takes value above 0.44. Conclusion: The Spirituality Index of Well-Being was determined to be a valid and reliable assessment instrument for Turkish society.
