Effect of Symptom Burden on Demoralization in Chinese Lung Cancer Patients: The Mediating Roles of Family Function, Resilience, and Coping Behaviors
These findings highlight the importance of screening for demoralization, particularly among lung cancer patients with a high symptom burden, maladaptive resignation coping, family dysfunction, and low resilience. Effective strategies should focus on symptom management, family support, resilience building, and fostering positive coping mechanisms. Tailored interventions based on demoralization subtypes are essential to improve psychological well-being in this population.
