Article Synopsis
- - Lung cancer patients, especially women, often face stigma that can increase psychological distress and negatively affect treatment outcomes, leading researchers to explore ways to build resilience against this stigma.
- - A study involving 56 women with non-small cell lung cancer found that mindfulness helped to buffer the negative effects of stigma on depressive symptoms, cancer-related stress, and symptom intensity; this meant that women with high mindfulness levels experienced less impact from stigma.
- - In contrast, self-compassion and social support did not significantly influence the relationship between stigma and symptoms, highlighting the unique protective role of mindfulness for these patients.
