Σύνοψη	The FACIT-Sp, developed by Peterman and colleagues in 2002, is a 12-item self-report measure of spiritual well-being specifically designed for people with serious illness, particularly cancer. It assesses two dimensions: meaning and peace (the sense that life has purpose and harmony despite illness) and faith (spiritual or religious trust). Part of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) suite, the FACIT-Sp has become a standard measure in oncology research and palliative care, predicting quality of life, treatment outcomes, and psychological well-being in medical populations.	The Brief RCOPE, developed by Pargament and colleagues (1998), is a 14-item measure that distinguishes between positive and negative religious coping strategies that individuals employ when facing major life stressors. Derived from the longer 105-item RCOPE, the Brief RCOPE captures how people use faith, prayer, spiritual reframing, and community support to manage illness, loss, and adversity, while also identifying religiously-based distress responses (e.g., spiritual anger, perception of abandonment by God). It has become a standard measure in health psychology, particularly in research on coping with serious illness, grief, and trauma.
