Palliative & Supportive Care January 1, 2026 Stephen Lewis 1 citation
Three patient-centered outcome measures for spiritual wellbeing—FACIT-Sp-12, EORTC QLQ-SWB-32, and NIH-HEALS—are suitable for use in psychedelic-assisted therapy with palliative care populations, based on a review of 286 articles. The NIH-HEALS is recommended for wider use because of its orientation toward identifying spiritual change in serious illness, strong reliability and validity, and accessibility across spiritual traditions.
