Instruments related to the nurses’ psychospiritual coping strategy evaluation in handling their psychological impact during the treatment of COVID 19 patients are still deficient. Bearing this in mind, this current study aims to develop the psychospiritual coping strategy instrument (STDPs) of nurses in dealing with the psychological impacts when treating COVID 19 patients. Thus, the focus of this article rests on the evaluation of the constructs and items of both the validity and reliability tests developed in this instrument. The questionnaire instrument developed comprises of three main sections, which is the factors that induce stress among nurses, the psychological impact and the psychospiritual coping strategy. 59 nurses in four (4) departments in Tuanku Mukhriz Chancelor Hospital, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HCTM UKM), Cheras were involved as respondents in this study. In the construction of items, several previous instruments were chosen as guidance namely the Nursing Stress Scale (1981), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) & (DASS-42) (1995), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) (1997) and Human spirituality Scale (1991). Data were analysed using the validity test, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the reliability test Cronbach’s Alpha through the software Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0. The study outcome reveals that the value of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (KMO) is high, which is 0.818 and the Cronbach’s Alpha value is also high, 0.957. Finally, 101 items were retained in forming the three constructs namely the motivating factors, psychological impact and the psychospiritual coping strategy. One (1) item was removed as it has a low Cronbach’s Alpha reliability value, which is 0.293*. From the validity and reliability tests conducted, this shows that the STDP instrument developed has high reliability and can be used as the measurement tool in this study.pact.
