| Zusammenfassung: | The Primary objective of the study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness and Spirituality (BMMRS) in older adults. Older adults (N = 66) completed a survey in-person or over the phone. Measures included the BMMRS, Religious Problem Solving Scale, Brief Religious Coping Scale, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-being, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, and Geriatric Depression Scale. Cronbach's alphas evaluated internal consistency, zero-order correlations tested construct validity, and multiple regressions assessed the association of BMMRS domains with well-being. Most BMMRS domains were reliable and valid. Collectively, they explained 26% to 68% of the variance in well-being and psychological symptoms. Daily spiritual experiences uniquely predicted spiritual well-being, satisfaction with life, and depressive symptoms. The BMMRS is useful in older populations and may help identify those who could benefit from religious or spiritually integrated therapy. |
