  • The chain mediating role of social support and resilience in the relationship between symptom burden and psychological distress among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase

    ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of symptom burden and psychological distress among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase, and to explore the chain mediating role of social support and resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress. MethodsThe patients with lung cancer in the diagnostic phase who were treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2022 to June 2023 were investigated by a general information questionnaire using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, the Social Support Rating Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Distress Thermometer. The chain mediating role of social support and resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress was analyzed. ResultsA total of 413 lung cancer patients were enrolled, including 173 males and 240 females, aged 54.64±10.82 years. The detection rate of psychological distress among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase was 48.18%, and the average score was 3.84±2.50 points. Psychological distress was positively correlated with symptom burden, and negatively correlated with social support and resilience. The mediating effect of resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress was significant. The chain mediating effect of social support and resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress was also significant. ConclusionLung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase have a high detection rate of psychological distress. Symptom burden can directly impact psychological distress, and can affect psychological distress through the indirect path of resilience as well as the chain mediating path between social support and resilience among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase.
