Unfortunately, research has been hampered by lack of measures suitable for use in oncology settings. This study examined the performance of one recently developed measure, the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (SCSORF). Initial investigations with cancer patients in a bone marrow transplant program and with non\u2010oncology patients yielded promising results. This study provided additional information about temporal stability and convergent validity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The measure was evaluated in two well\u2010defined samples: (1) 95 breast cancer patients, and (2) 53 healthy young adults. Most of the cancer patients had recent diagnoses and localized or regional disease. In each sample, the instrument demonstrated high test\u2013retest reliability (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>'s=0.82\u20130.93) and internal consistency (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>'s=0.95\u20130.97). It displayed strong correlations with measures of intrinsic religiosity (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>'s=0.67\u20130.82, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001), and moderate correlations with organizational religiosity (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>'s=0.61\u2013069, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001), non\u2010organizational religiosity (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>'s=0.52\u20130.55, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001), comfort from religion (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=0.58, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001), and ratings of self as religious (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=0.58, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001). Among cancer patients, scores were significantly associated with optimism (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=0.30, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.01), but not with openness of family communication about cancer or perceived social support. These data build on previous findings with cancer patients, and suggest that the SCSORF may be a useful measure of religious faith in oncology settings.
