“…The FACIT-Sp-12 has demonstrated good validity and reliability among large, ethnically diverse samples. 12,30,32,33 It has been used to assess spiritual well-being across a wide range of religious traditions, including those who identify themselves as "spiritual yet not religious."

Background Health related quality of life (HRQOL) measures are common in oncology research, trials and practice. Spiritual well-being has emerged as an important aspect of HRQOL and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Spiritual Well-Being; The 12-item Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12) is the most widely used measure of spiritual well-being among those with cancer. However, there is an absence of reference values to facilitate the interpretation of scores in research and clinical practice. The objective of this study is to provide FACIT-Sp-12 reference values from a representative sample of adult cancer survivors. Methods As part of the American Cancer Society's Study of Cancer Survivors-II, a national, cross-sectional study of cancer survivors (N=8,864) completed questionnaires assessing demographic characteristics, clinical information, and the FACIT-Sp-12. Scores were calculated and summarized by FACIT-Sp-12 subscale and total scores across age, sex, race/ethnicity, time post-treatment, and cancer type. Results Independent samples T-test found that women reported significantly higher FACIT-Sp-12 scores (P<001). Analyses of variance found significant main effects for FACIT-Sp-12 scores by age (P<.01), race/ethnicity (P<.05), and cancer type (P<.001). Post-hoc comparisons revealed that older adults (60-69 and 70-79 year olds) and Black Non-Hispanics reported the highest FACIT-Sp-12 scores relative to 18-39 year olds (P<.05, d=0.20-0.50) and White Non-Hispanics (P<.05, d=0.02-0.62), respectively. All other significant main effects were small in magnitude (effect size range: 0.001-0.032). Conclusion These data will aid interpretation of the magnitude and meaning of FACIT-Sp-12 scores, and allow for comparisons of scores across studies.

“…Recent studies have shed new light on the topic, showing that the three-factor model has a better fit. [23][24][25][26] The scale can be applied in five to six minutes. Peterman et al (2002) determined that the value of Cronbach's alpha for the scale ranges from 0.81 to 0.83.…”

“…Therefore, the nurse-patient interaction might be crucial for wellbeing in NHs. Self-transcendence and meaning-in-life have demonstrated significant relations with both physical, emotional, social, functional [29,48] and spiritual [49] wellbeing among cognitively intact NH residents, indicating that enhancing self-transcendence and meaningin-life positively influences on all aspects of wellbeing.…”

Background: Due to the shift to an older population worldwide and an increased need for 24-h care, finding new and alternative approaches to increase wellbeing among nursing home (NH) residents is highly warranted. To guide clinical practice in boosting wellbeing among NH residents, knowledge about nurse-patient interaction (NPI), inter-(ST1) and intra-personal (ST2) self-transcendence and meaning-in-life (PIL) seems vital. This study tests six hypotheses of the relationships between NPI, ST1, ST2 and PIL among cognitively intact NH residents. Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 188 (92% response rate) out of 204 long-term NH residents representing 27 NHs responded to NPI, ST, and the PIL scales. Inclusion criteria were: (1) municipality authority's decision of longterm NH care; (2) residential time 3 months or longer; (3) informed consent competency recognized by responsible doctor and nurse; and (4) capable of being interviewed. The hypothesized relations between the latent constructs were tested through structural equation modeling (SEM) using Stata 15.1. Results: The SEM-model yielded a good fit (χ2 = 146.824, p = 0.021, df = 114, χ2/df = 1.29 RMSEA = 0.040, p-close 0.811, CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, and SRMR = 0.063), supporting five of the six hypothesized relationships between the constructs of NPI, ST1, ST2 and PIL. Conclusion: NPI significantly relates to both ST1, ST2 and PIL in NH residents. ST revealed a fundamental influence on perceived PIL, while NPI demonstrated a significant indirect influence on PIL, mediated by ST.

The FACIT‐Sp spiritual well‐being scale: an investigation of the dimensionality, reliability and construct validity in a cognitively intact nursing home population

Abstract: The three-factor model is an improvement over the original two-factor construct, based on these nursing home data. The measure yielded significantly factor loadings, good composite reliability and construct validity.
