Objective: To assess the relationship between resilience and quality of life (QOL) of kidney cancer patients, including influencing factors.
Methods: Based on a cross-sectional study design, participants (N = 103) were recruited from patients who were admitted to the urology clinic of a medical center in Taiwan between April 2020 and January 2021. Data collection was accomplished via a questionnaire. The study variables included demographic information, disease attributes, happiness level, depression, cancer-related self-efficacy, resilience, and QOL. One-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, independent-sample t-tests, hierarchical regression, and process analysis were the statistical methods used to analyze the data.
Results: Kidney cancer patients who were less depressed exhibited better cancer-related self-efficacy and have better resilience. In non-depressed individuals, higher levels of happiness and better resilience resulted in better QOL. Resilience is a mediator that affects the relationship between depression and QOL.
Conclusions: Patients with better emotional state experience better resilience and QOL. Patients' better cancer-related self-efficacy is related to better resilience while better resilience is associated with better QOL. Clinical care providers need to evaluate and improve cancer-related self-efficacy, emotional state, and resilience of kidney cancer patients, which will improve their resilience and QOL.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates a comprehensive web-based program designed to help gastric cancer patients manage cancer-related fatigue (CRF) during chemotherapy, addressing not just fatigue but also self-efficacy, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, pain, and overall quality of life (QoL).
- - A total of 92 patients were split into two groups, where the intervention group participated in an online program for 12 weeks with additional support, while the control group received standard care. Outcomes were measured at different time points to assess the program's effectiveness.
- - Results showed significant improvements in CRF and associated symptoms for the intervention group, demonstrating that the web-based program effectively enhances the well-being of cancer patients, though there was no notable change in pain

Introduction: Patients with advanced cancer and their spousal caregivers who parent minor children report unmet parenting concerns and increased psychological distress. Seeking to address these important supportive care needs, this RCT examined the feasibility, acceptability, and initial evidence for the efficacy of a novel psychosocial intervention.
Patients And Methods: Patients with a metastatic solid malignancy and their spouses completed self-reported validated assessments of psychological symptoms and cancer-related parenting outcomes and were then randomized to the parent support intervention or a usual care (UC) group.
