Summary

A lung cancer diagnosis has a huge impact on the psychological well-being of both patients and family caregivers. However, the current psychological stress status among dyads remains unclear. The investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression and identify the factors that influence patients with lung cancer and their caregivers. The investigators will conduct a cross-sectional study of 254 dyads of lung cancer patients and family caregivers from four tertiary hospitals in Hunan Province, China from January 2021 to June 2021. Besides, the investigators used several instruments to collect data on depression, anxiety, illness perception, mindfulness, self-compassion, and dyadic coping. The independent samples t-test, analysis of one-way variance, Spearman's correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were employed. The results will recommend oncology nurses promptly screen high-risk patient-caregiver dyads who may suffer from severe psychological stress and provide them with targeted psychosocial interventions.
