How Good Is the Persian Spiritual Care Test for Nursing Students?

Spiritual care is a big deal for patients and their families. It's important that nursing and midwifery students are good at it. So, researchers checked out a test called the Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool in Persian. They wanted to see if it worked well. The researchers asked 300 nursing students to take the test. They did this in two different times, a month apart. This helped them see if the test was reliable. It turned out that the test was pretty consistent. Students got similar scores both times. But it's not just about being consistent. The test also needs to be valid, meaning it should actually measure what it's supposed to. The researchers compared the test scores with other spiritual care assessments. They found that the Persian test was valid too. However, there's always room for improvement. The researchers suggested that the test could be better if it included more items. This would give a broader view of spiritual care competency. All in all, the Persian version of the Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool is a good start. But like any tool, it can be made even better.
