ADAPTATION OF SPIRITUAL COMPETENCY SCALE (SCS–R–II) TO TURKISH: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Abstract

In this research, a study on the adaptation of Spiritual Competency Scale to Turkish was carried out with an evidence-based approach in order to enable the practitioners to obtain an output on their competence levels and fields. The data collected among 260 social workers were found to be suitable for the normal distribution and goodness-of-fit indices were obtained as a result of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis conducted via the LISREL 8.80 package program to test the model of the measurement tool. As a result, the measurement tool consisting of 21 items and 6 sub-dimensions was accepted in accordance with the original model. It is thought that this study will be useful for the social workers who include spiritual attitudes, behaviors and thoughts in their evaluations and interventions, to make certain predictions about their competencies.
