N2  - This study aimed to translate into Brazilian Portuguese and evaluate the main psychometric properties from Spiritual Health and Life-Orientation Measure in a sample of 487 students aged 9-15 years in Southern Brazil. Spiritual Health and Life-Orientation Measure is divided into Ideals and Lived Experience sections and showed high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.94). Comparison of mean values between age showed a tendency to decrease spirituality scores with increasing age. Discriminate validity of mean scores between groups of atheists, "spiritual, but not religious," and religious was significant in all domains (0.026 <  p < 0.001). Spiritual Health and Life-Orientation Measure presents adequate psychometric properties and may contribute to study spirituality in children and adolescents.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
