The reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual (FACIT-Sp) scale were assessed. This scale was developed in the United States to assess quality of life (QOL) in relation to spirituality. Two surveys were conducted on each of 306 cancer patients. In addition to the FACIT-Sp, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was administered. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, an evaluation of internal consistency, for the FACIT-Sp subscales ranged from 0.81 to 0.91. There were no significant differences between the patients evaluated using the FACIT-Sp subscale and the HADS subscale with regard to degree of religious feelings. The correlation coefficients between the FACIT-Sp and the HADS depression and anxiety scales indicated a moderate correlation. These findings suggest that the Japanese version of the FACIT-Sp scale is satisfactory in terms of reliability and validity and is a useful tool in the study of spirituality among Japanese cancer patients.
对慢性病治疗功能评估-精神层面（FACIT-Sp）量表日文版的信度和效度进行了评估。该量表是在美国开发的，用于评估与精神层面相关的生活质量（QOL）。对306名癌症患者分别进行了两项调查。除了FACIT-Sp量表外，还使用了医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）。FACIT-Sp分量表的内部一致性评估指标——克朗巴哈α信度系数在0.81至0.91之间。在宗教情感程度方面，使用FACIT-Sp分量表评估的患者与使用HADS分量表评估的患者之间没有显著差异。FACIT-Sp量表与HADS抑郁和焦虑量表之间的相关系数表明存在中度相关性。这些研究结果表明，FACIT-Sp量表日文版在信度和效度方面令人满意，是研究日本癌症患者精神层面的有用工具。
