Σύνοψη	The Good Death Inventory (GDI) is a 20-item self-report measure assessing the patient's and family's perception of whether the death was 'good'—characterized by pain control, peace, meaningful closure, preparation, maintenance of dignity, and a sense that life was lived fully. Developed by Ching and colleagues in Hong Kong in 2009, the GDI operationalizes the multidimensional concept of a 'good death' into measurable dimensions, enabling clinicians and researchers to understand what makes end-of-life care meaningful and to identify deaths marked by distress or unfinished business.	The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) is a 20-item self-report measure of spiritual well-being encompassing both religious faith and existential meaning—two dimensions critical to quality of life at end-of-life. Developed by Paloutzian and Ellison in 1982, the SWBS has become a cornerstone assessment tool in palliative care, chaplaincy, and oncology to identify unmet spiritual needs, guide supportive interventions, and evaluate the impact of spiritual care programs on patient outcomes.
