Tóm tắt	The Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS), developed by Piedmont in 1999, is a 24-item self-report measure of spiritual transcendence: the human capacity to experience connection to something beyond oneself—whether understood as God, nature, humanity, or the sacred. The STS conceptualizes spiritual transcendence as a personality trait distinct from religious adherence or institutional participation, measured through three facets: Prayer Fulfillment (satisfaction from spiritual practices), Universality (sense of interconnection with all people and life), and Connectedness (sense of deep connection to the divine or sacred). The scale has become influential in understanding spirituality as a psychological dimension orthogonal to the Big Five personality traits.	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.
