Resumo: Background & Objectives: It is undeniable the importance that the concept of spiritual well-being takes today. Research is scarce in the institutionalized older population, and it is therefore important to develop validated tools on spiritual well-being for this population. The main objective of the present study is the analysis of the psychometric properties and the validation of the Portuguese version of the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire (SWBQ). Method: The sample included 101 institutionalized older people from the Coimbra area (n = 51, 50.5%) and Aveiro (n = 50, 49.5%), aged 65-96, 33 (32.7%) were male and 68 (67.3%) were female. In addition to SWBQ, the Hope Scale, the Optimism Scale, the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, and the Geriatric Depression Scale were administered. Results: The SWBQ presented a factorial structure of three factors (environmental, transcendental, and humanitarian), different from the original version whose factor structure pointed to four factors. The internal consistency was adequate and the convergent and divergent validity did not confirm its construct validity. Spiritual well-being was statistically different in terms of gender (p < 0.01), marital status (p < 0.05) and occupation (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study contributed to the provision of a new instrument for the evaluation of spiritual well-being in institutionalized older people, showing reasonable psychometric characteristics, but should be replicated in samples with other characteristics to confirm this data.

A investigação é escassa na população idosa institucionalizada, sendo assim importante o desenvolvimento de instrumentos no âmbito do bem-estar espiritual validados para esta população. Este estudo tem como principal objetivo a análise das qualidades psicométricas e a validação da versão portuguesa do Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire (SWBQ). Método: A amostra incluiu 101 pessoas idosas institucionalizadas da zona de Coimbra (n = 51; 50,5%) e Aveiro (n = 50; 49,5%), com idades compreendidas entre os 65 e os 96 anos, 33 (32,7%) eram do sexo masculino e 68 (67,3%) do sexo feminino. Para além do SWBQ, foram administrados a Escala sobre a Esperança, a Escala de Otimismo, o Geriatric Anxiety Inventory e a Geriatric Depression Scale. Resultados: O SWBQ apresentou uma estrutura fatorial de três fatores (ambiental, transcendental e humanitário), diferente da versão original cuja estrutura fatorial apontava para quatro fatores. A consistência interna foi adequada e a validade convergente e divergente não atestaram a sua validade de constructo. O bem-estar espiritual foi diferente de forma estatisticamente significativa a nível do sexo (p < 0,01), estado civil (p < 0,05) e profissão (p < 0,05). Conclusões: Este estudo contribuiu para a disponibilização de um novo instrumento para a avaliação do bem-estar espiritual nas pessoas de idade avançada institucionalizadas, tendo evidenciado características psicométricas razoáveis, devendo, no entanto, ser replicado em amostras com outras características para a confirmação destes dados.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2018-02-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2018.4.1.70https://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2018.4.1.70Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2018): February; 34–42Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 4 N.º 1 (2018): Fevereiro; 34–422183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/70https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/70/PDFhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/70/htmlDireitos de Autor (c) 2018 Mariana Neves, Inês Garcia, Helena Espírito Santo, & Laura Lemoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNeves, MarianaGarcia, Inês QueirozEspirito-Santo, HelenaLemos, Laura2023-05-25T22:00:49Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/70Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:44.815824Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
