Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the spiritual care competency scale in nursing practice: a methodological study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the validity and reliability of the Spiritual Care Competency Scale (SCCS) among nurses in China.

Methodological research.

Methods
