Background: Stigma has been identified as a significant factor impacting the health of lung cancer patients. However, the relationship between stigma, medical coping modes, and quality of life (QoL) has not been thoroughly examined.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the associations between stigma, medical coping modes, and QoL in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
Methods: A total of 304 surgical patients participated in an online survey, which included sociodemographic data, the Lung Cancer Stigma Scale, the Medical Coping Modes Scale, and the Quality of Life Scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0, and structural equation models were constructed using AMOS 24.0. The Bootstrap method was employed to test the mediating hypotheses.
Results: The mean QoL score was 150.53 ± 15.54, showing significant associations with medical coping modes and stigma. Stigma was negatively correlated with QoL (r = -0.668, p < 0.01). Confrontation was positively associated with QoL (r = 0.339, p < 0.01), while resignation and avoidance were negatively correlated with QoL (r = -0.584, r = -0.500, p < 0.01). Stigma's effect on QoL was partially mediated by confrontation, resignation, and avoidance, with effect sizes of -0.051, -0.190, and - 0.098, respectively, accounting for 35.1% of the total effect.
Conclusion: Preoperative NSCLC patients in China experience moderate stigma, which detrimentally affects their QoL. Confrontation, resignation, and avoidance play mediating roles in this relationship. These findings offer new perspectives for developing interventions to improve QoL by addressing stigma and coping strategies.

Background: Effective evidence-based interventions (EBI) are necessary to prevent and avoid negative life trajectories for children with mental health problems. Even though many EBIs prove effective when tested, few are successfully implemented and used in real-world clinical practice. As a result, many children and families do not receive the best care in due time or at all.

Background And Aim: Considering opioid use disorder (OUD) as one of the major global concerns, methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has been documented the core treatment for such dependence in the affected individuals. With regard to the significant role of quality of life (QoL) in evaluating the outcomes of various treatment methods in this line, the present study was to explore perceived QoL in long-term methadone-dependent patients (MDPs).
Materials And Methods: Applying a qualitative research design, this study was performed on 25 long-term MDPs, selected by purposive sampling with maximum variation.

This article aims to highlight high-quality observational and intervention studies focused on promoting psychological well-being among cardiac arrest (CA) survivors and their families. Following CA, many patients experience significant psychological distress, including depression, generalized anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Recent studies indicate that this distress can narrow patients' focus, resulting in heightened awareness of cardiac signals-such as fluctuations in heart rate or blood pressure-that lead to constant monitoring and increased anxiety.

Background: This study aimed to (1) summarise research on the impact of peer support interventions aimed at improving psychosocial functioning among cancer survivors, and (2) identify key components for developing a support intervention for patients with a rare cancer living in rural, regional or remote areas.
Methods: A comprehensive search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library identified papers that examined peer support interventions: (i) for rare cancer patients, or (ii) for those living in rural, regional or remote locations, or (iii) that provided support online or via telehealth. After screening, data on study characteristics, intervention components and impact on psychosocial functioning were extracted.

Background: Preparing novice oncology nurses to competently care for dying cancer patients is challenging, particularly in cultures where death and dying are taboo subjects. This study aims to explore the various profiles of death competence among novice oncology nurses through latent profile analysis, identifies distinguishing characteristics, and examines influential factors within these subgroups.
Methods: A multisite cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2021 to July 2022, involving 506 novice oncology nurses from six tertiary cancer hospitals and centers across mainland China.
