Sintesi	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.	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.
