FACIT-Sp

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.
