“…This is because although most Chinese people do not identify with any specific religion, due to the influence of traditional Chinese culture, especially Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, they still exhibit beliefs and behaviours similar to religious practices. This cultural background provides spiritual support akin to religious beliefs even for those who do not consider themselves religious (Hu et al., 2023 ). Religious beliefs enhance the meaning in life, a notion that is contradicted in studies on negative religious coping.…”

AimThis study aimed to explore the chain mediating effect of spiritual well‐being and anticipatory grief between benefit finding and meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer.DesignThis was a cross‐sectional study.MethodsThe research included 400 patients with advanced lung cancer who attended REDACTE from December 2022 to August 2023 as the research subjects. Data were collected using a questionnaire including socio‐demographic and clinical characteristics, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy‐Spiritual Well‐Being scale (FACIT‐Sp‐12), the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS), the Preparatory Grief in Advanced Cancer Patients Scale (PGAC), and the Meaning of Life Questionnaire (MLQ). The structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyse the relationship between benefit finding, spiritual well‐being, anticipatory grief and meaning in life.ResultsThere was a significant correlation between benefit finding, spiritual well‐being, anticipatory grief, and meaning in life. Benefit finding could have a direct positive impact on meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer, but it could also indirectly affect meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer through three pathways: the mediating effect of spiritual well‐being, the mediating effect of anticipatory grief and the chain mediating effect of spiritual well‐being and anticipatory grief. Nursing staff should develop an integrated program of interventions to enhance the meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer.

ObjectiveLung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, with patients frequently experiencing significant psychological distress, particularly anxiety. Despite the high prevalence of anxiety in patients with cancer, there is limited comprehensive research focusing on the specific factors influencing anxiety in patients with early- and middle-stage lung cancer within the context of Chinese medicine hospitals. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the epidemiology and factors influencing anxiety disorders in patients with early- and middle-stage primary bronchial lung cancer through a cross-sectional study.MethodsA total of 340 patients with early and middle-stage lung cancer admitted to the outpatient ward of the oncology department at Guang’anmen Hospital from June 2023 to December 2023 were included in this study. Survey data, including the patients’ general condition questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAD-7), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Mental Toughness Scale (CD-RISC-10), were collected and recorded in a database using a two-person input format. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0 software.ResultsOut of the 340 patients with early- and middle-stage lung cancer included in this study, 133 had anxiety, resulting in an overall anxiety detection rate of 39.12%. The chi-square test showed that statistically significant differences in religion, marital status, surgical treatment, tobacco use, and alcohol history between the anxious and non-anxious groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, statistically significant differences were observed in per capita annual family income, pathological type, VAS score, targeted therapy, treatment stage, and mental toughness level (p < 0.001). Other factors were not significantly correlated with anxiety onset. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher per capita family income and completed treatment independently acted as protective factors against anxiety onset in patients with early- and middle-stage lung cancer. Conversely, rare pathological types, increased pain severity, and lower levels of mental toughness were identified as independent risk factors for anxiety onset in these patients.ConclusionAnxiety was prevalent in patients with early- and middle-stage lung cancers. Rare pathological types, increased pain severity, and lower levels of mental toughness were independent risk factors for anxiety. Therefore, clinicians and psychologists should pay more attention to patients with rare types of tumors, actively manage their pain symptoms, and consider implementing mental resilience training to improve patients’ mental toughness.
