สรุป	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 Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) is a 25-item self-report measure assessing dignity-related distress in patients with advanced cancer and life-limiting illness. Developed by Chochinov and colleagues at the University of Manitoba in 2008, the PDI operationalizes 'dignity' as a multidimensional construct encompassing illness-related functional decline, psychosocial concerns (fear, hopelessness, suicidality), body image distress, existential meaning, and social connection—dimensions often overlooked by symptom-focused assessment. The PDI enables clinicians to identify and address dignity threats systematically, preventing the existential despair that can accompany terminal illness even when physical symptoms are well-controlled.
