Dataset used for validation of the Danish 20-item Spiritual Needs Questionnaire.

This material comprises the datasets to support the validation works of the Danish 20-item Spiritual Needs Questionnaire (DA-SpNQ-20). There is data on the questionnaire instruments: Spiritual Needs Questionnaire (danish translation of questionnaire will be published in Zenodo later) and the World Health Organization Well Being Index (WHO-5). All data has been fully anonymized and thus stripped of age, gender and religious/spiritual denominations. The sample is a convenience sample of (healthy) adult Danes with a large body of university students in the sample. Mean age of sample is 43,9 (sd: 16,3) and 73% were women.
