Σύνοψη	The FACIT-Palliative (FACIT-Pal) is a 12-item self-report subscale of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) family, specifically designed to measure spiritual well-being and existential meaning in patients with advanced cancer and life-limiting illness. Developed by Peterman and colleagues in 2002 and funded by the National Cancer Institute, the FACIT-Pal is embedded within larger FACIT instruments and has become a standard spiritual quality-of-life measure in oncology trials, hospice research, and palliative care programs internationally.	The Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) is an 11-point clinician-rated functional assessment tool for patients with advanced, life-limiting illness. Developed by Anderson and colleagues in 1996, it measures overall performance status from 100% (normal) to 0% (death), integrating five domains of functional decline. The PPS is widely used in palliative care, hospice, and oncology settings to guide treatment intensity, prognostication, and care planning.
