| Summary: | The study aimed to investigate the translation process and assess the psychometric properties of the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) in Persian, focusing on health care settings. The scale was translated using the “forward-backward” procedure. The BMMRS, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales were completed by 200 undergraduate students of Qom University of Medical Sciences selected by using a multistage cluster sampling method. Convergent validity results demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between most dimensions of the BMMRS and spiritual well-being (p < .05). The negative association between the BMMRS and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (r = −.27 to −.48, p < .05) mostly supported divergent validity. The BMMRS had a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .81 for the total score and .41 to .81 for the subscales. The Persian version of the BMMRS appears to be a valid and reliable scale for assessing religious and spiritual dimensions among Iranian Muslims. |
