In order to provide holistic nursing care to cancerous patients, oncology nurses should establish balance in their personal and professional life and be aware of their spiritual wellbeing state. There hasn’t developed any instrument congruent to social and cultural status of Muslim oncology nurses in Iran. The aim of this study was developing and measuring psychometrics of oncology nurses’ spiritual wellbeing scale.   Materials & Methods : This methodological study was carried out in two stages. In qualitative section, we interviewed as semi structured form with 24 oncology nurses and established a focus group session in order to develop scale items. In quantitative part we assessed content, face, construct, and criterion validity as well as internal consistency and stability of scale.   Result : Qualitative content analysis yielded 245 items that were mixed with 100 items from literature. After applying CVI and CVR, the number of scale items reduced to 78 items. Exploratory factor analysis specified 5 principal components that explained the 48.5 % of variance. The correlation scores between developed scale and Paloutzian and Ellison spiritual wellbeing scale (1983) were estimated 0.48. The internal consistency (alpha cronbach coefficient) and stability reliability (test- retest) were 0.84, 0.66, respectively.   Conclusion: Oncology Nurses’ Spiritual Wellbeing Scale with high validity and reliability can be used to assess nurses' spiritual wellbeing especially oncology nurses.   Key words: Spirituality, Spiritual wellbeing, Oncology Nurses, Psychometric Properties     Address: Nursing and Midwifery Faculty, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran , Iran Tel : (+98) 9121579624   Email: Farideh_Y2002@yahoo.com   [1] PhD Student in Nursing, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran   [2] Associate Professor of Nursing and Midwifery, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran (Corresponding Author)   [3] Professor of Psychology, Tehran University, Tehran, Iran  [4] Associate Professor of Biostatistics, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
