Spiritual wellness is an area of interest and studies carried out by many disciplines like religious sciences, psychology, philosophy, and social work. There is a need for both qualitative and quantitative measurement and evaluation tools to evaluate spiritual wellness. This study aims to determine the validity and reliability level of the Turkish version of the Spiritual Wellness Inventory developed by Ingersoll (1995), which allows evaluating spiritual wellness multidimensionally. The sample of the study consisted of 513 university students that 64% of whom were females. To determine whether the original structure of the Spiritual Wellness Inventory was confirmed, confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the data obtained from the study group. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, chi-square and degrees of freedom values were 3907,17 and sd=2,84. The fit between the model determined in this context, and the data corresponds to an excellent fit. As a result, it was determined that the Turkish version of the Spiritual Wellness Inventory items had the desired properties, and its reliability and validity were high.
