Malliar Bellian Spiritual Healing from Trauma Scale: Preliminary Scale Development
Open accessAbstract
The unique role of spirituality in trauma recovery in helping professions has highlighted the necessity for developing measurements to assess the level of healing among people who have experienced traumatic events. However, there is no single dedicated scale to assess spiritual healing from trauma. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and test a new scale preliminarily, the Malliar Bellian Spiritual Healing from Trauma (MBSHT) scale, to assess the level of spiritual healing among adults who experienced traumatic events. Thus, this study aimed to improve the efficacy of healing and recovery methods within the helping professions. A Content Analysis of the relevant literature was conducted to generate scale items and to ensure they are empirically informed. Subject matter experts were consulted to establish face and content validity. Next, a pilot study was conducted to finetune the items and to test the initial psychometric properties of the proposed scale. Reliability was investigated using Classical Test Theory to determine the internal consistency of the scale. A preliminary Content Analysis revealed five components, namely, hope, mind, body, spirit, and meaning making, that collectively embody spiritual healing from trauma. In this context, an item pool of 50 items was created, and these five sub-constructs were tested as five subscales. The reliability analysis demonstrated good internal consistency for Hope (α = .84), Mind (α = .88), Body (α = .81), Spirit (α = .81), and Meaning-Making (α = .84). The overall scale (50 items) yielded an excellent internal consistency reliability (α =.96). The coefficient alphas based on the pilot study data showed stability and consistency, which is a fitting sign for conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) of the constructs and dimensions with a larger sample for the full-scale psychometric analysis and validation in a future study. In the long run, spiritual approaches can be confidently advanced with clients experiencing trauma for desirable recovery and healing.

TL;DR
This dissertation develops and preliminarily tests the Malliar Bellian Spiritual Healing from Trauma (MBSHT) scale, a 50-item instrument with five subscales (Hope, Mind, Body, Spirit, Meaning-Making) derived from a content analysis of the spiritual healing and trauma literature. In a pilot sample of 26 trauma survivors, all five subscales and the overall scale showed good-to-excellent internal consistency, supporting progression to a larger validation study.
Key findings
- Content analysis of the literature yielded 37 concepts, patterns, and themes, clustered into five subconstructs: hope, mind, body, spirit, and meaning-making; an initial pool of 79 items was reduced to 50 (10 per subscale) after removing 29 redundant items.
- Pilot reliability (n = 26) was good for Hope (α = .84), Mind (α = .88), Body (α = .81), Spirit (α = .81), and Meaning-Making (α = .84); the overall 50-item scale yielded α = .96.
- Six of ten invited subject matter experts (60%) completed the review; based on their feedback 11 items were reworded, 3 removed for redundancy, and 3 new items added (e.g., "Some days, I find it hard to believe healing is possible").
- Sample characteristics: mean age 46 years (SD = 9.42), 66.7% female, 39% Black or African American and 36% White; 18.2% had received professional treatment for their trauma while 63.6% had not; 23 of 26 participants rated the scale length as "about the right amount" and 22 rated the items as clear.
Methods
- Cross-sectional scale development study following DeVellis and Thorpe's (2022) procedures across three steps: (A) content analysis/systematic literature review of databases including APA PsycINFO, CINAHL Complete, and Mental Measurements Yearbook (inclusion: 2015–2025, English, spiritual practice/intervention in helping professions); (B) subject matter expert review of the initial item pool for face and content validity; (C) pilot test.
- Pilot participants were adults 18+, English-reading, with self-reported trauma experienced at least one year prior, recruited via convenience sampling through four trauma-serving organizations in California, Indiana, Maryland, and Washington D.C.; data collected via Qualtrics. Seven ineligible respondents were removed by listwise deletion, leaving 26 analyzable cases (target had been 30).
- Analysis in IBM SPSS 31: descriptive statistics, item-level response distributions, Pearson correlation matrices for each subscale (interpreted with Cohen's benchmarks), and internal consistency via Cronbach's alpha under Classical Test Theory.
Limitations
- Stated by the paper: the exploratory nature of the preliminary development; self-report bias affecting sample representativeness; convenience sampling limiting generalizability; no additional qualitative interviews beyond SME review and pilot testing; only one reverse-scored item out of 50 and no steps taken to minimize response bias; heterogeneous trauma types rather than a single trauma type; possible cultural/contextual differences in how respondents understood the study; difficulty synthesizing many themes from a partly non-empirical literature; potential researcher bias in coding and synthesis; limited data validity and absent participant perspectives since this was not the primary data collection; use of only two theoretical frameworks; and no factorial validation yet.
- Evident from the text: the pilot sample (n = 26) is small and below the initially intended 30, and no exploratory or confirmatory factor analysis, test-retest reliability, or convergent/discriminant validity evidence was produced, so the factor structure and construct validity of the MBSHT remain untested.

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated major: it would touch a result — a value a result rests on, reported and recomputed p-values on opposite sides of the significance level, two passages that conflict with no sign which is right, or a cited work retracted before this paper was published.
In the paper
“All the participants (100%) reported prior traumatic events at least one year ago.”
“6. Ever experienced a traumatic event/events at least 1 year ago 26 1 2 1.18”
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.
In the paper
“About the right amount of items 23 69.7 85.2 100.0”
Reported 85.2 · recomputed 88.461538
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.
In the paper
“Two-thirds of the participants were female (66.7 %).”
“3. Gender 26 1 2 1.67 .479”
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.
In the paper
“The Cronbach's alpha values for self-efficacy and life scheme were 0.86 and 0.89, respectively”
“Self-efficacy α = 0.81 Life scheme α = 0.80”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
