  ABSTRACT: The current study examined the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Greek version of the SpREUK questionnaire, which stands for “Spiritual and Religious Attitudes in Dealing with Illness”. A total of 429 individuals from various regions of Greece, representing the general population, participated in the study. The sample consisted predominantly of women (65.5%), with a mean age of 37.7 years. Alongside the SpREUK questionnaire, measures of demographic characteristics, the Seeking Spiritual Support subscale of the Family Crisis-Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES), and the Moral-Religious Emphasis Subscale of the Family (FES) were administered. To explore the factor structure, the sample was randomly divided into two subsamples. The first subsample (n1 = 159) underwent exploratory factor analysis, which revealed a three-factor solution. Subsequently, the second subsample (n2 = 270) was used to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis to test the proposed three-factor structure. The results indicated that the Greek version of the SpREUK questionnaire retained the initial three-factor structure, with satisfactory goodness-of-fit indices. The internal reliability of the questionnaire was found to be satisfactory. Additionally, evidence supporting the validity of the scale was obtained, particularly in relation to the Seeking Spiritual Support and Moral-Religious Emphasis subscales. The stability of the questionnaire was established by a high test-retest reliability over a two-month interval (r = 0.86). The Greek 15-item version of the SpREUK questionnaire demonstrates adequate psychometrics and holds promise for assessing spiritual and religious attitudes in individuals in the Greek context, regardless of people’s religious background and the presence of a chronic illness.
