本研究的目的是翻译和测试的波斯语和英语版本的精神需求问卷（SpNQ），最初在德国开发的措施的心理测量特性。使用了世界卫生组织关于翻译和验证问卷的指南。参与者是在癌症治疗后的门诊随访预约期间从伊朗和新西兰的医院招募的。在伊朗（68）和新西兰（54）被诊断患有癌症的人完成并返回SpNQ（在时间1）和两周时间内（时间2）。Cronbach’s alpha的范围为0.79 - 0.92，除了SpNQ的存在主义领域（0.53-0.54）。变异系数（CV）表明评估之间的随机变异最小;除“存在主义”项目外，测量结果总体稳定。SpNQ的翻译版本有可能支持对癌症患者精神需求的全面评估。
The aim of this study was to translate and test the psychometric properties of a Farsi and an English version of the spiritual needs questionnaire (SpNQ) a measure originally developed in German. The World Health Organization guideline for translating and validating questionnaires was used. Participants were recruited from hospitals in Iran and New Zealand during an outpatient follow-up appointment after cancer treatment. People diagnosed with cancer in Iran (68) and New Zealand (54) completed and returned the SpNQ (at time 1) and within the two week time period (time 2). Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.79 to 0.92, except for the existentialistic domain of the SpNQ (0.53-0.54). The coefficient of variation (CV) indicated minimal random variation between the assessments; the measures were generally stable, except for the item "existentialistic". The translated versions of the SpNQ have the potential to support a comprehensive assessment of cancer patients' spiritual needs.
