慢性病治疗功能评估(FAIT)测量系统是针对慢性病管理的与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL)问卷的集合。该测量系统自1987年以来一直在开发中，最初是创建了一份名为癌症治疗功能评估(FACT-G)的通用核心问卷。FACT-G(现在是第4版)是一个由27个项目组成的一般问题汇编，分为四个主要的生活质量领域：身体幸福感、社会/家庭幸福感、情感幸福感和功能幸福感。它适用于任何形式的癌症患者，它的延伸已经在其他慢性疾病(例如艾滋病毒/艾滋病、多发性硬化症、帕金森氏病、类风湿性关节炎)和普通人群中使用和验证。Facit测量系统现在包括400多个问题，其中一些问题已被翻译成45种以上的语言。对任何一名患者的评估都是量身定做的，因此会问出最相关的问题，任何一次评估的管理时间通常不到15分钟。这是通过使用HRQOL相关领域的特定分量表或选定症状和功能区的计算机化适应性测试(CAT)来实现的。FAIT问卷可以通过自我报告(纸质或计算机)或面谈(面对面或电话)进行管理。现有的评分、规范数据和关于有意义变化的信息现在允许人们在不断增长的文献库的背景下解释结果。
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Measurement System is a collection of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires targeted to the management of chronic illness. The measurement system, under development since 1987, began with the creation of a generic CORE questionnaire called the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G). The FACT-G (now in Version 4) is a 27-item compilation of general questions divided into four primary QOL domains: Physical Well-Being, Social/Family Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, and Functional Well-Being. It is appropriate for use with patients with any form of cancer, and extensions of it have been used and validated in other chronic illness condition (e.g., HIV/AIDS; multiple sclerosis; Parkinson's disease; rheumatoid arthritis), and in the general population. The FACIT Measurement System now includes over 400 questions, some of which have been translated into more than 45 languages. Assessment of any one patient is tailored so that the most-relevant questions are asked and administration time for any one assessment is usually less than 15 minutes. This is accomplished both by the use of specific subscales for relevant domains of HRQOL, or computerized adaptive testing (CAT) of selected symptoms and functional areas. FACIT questionnaires can be administered by self-report (paper or computer) or interview (face-to-face or telephone). Available scoring, normative data and information on meaningful change now allow one to interpret results in the context of a growing literature base.
