Abstract:
Objective To investigate the mediating effect of mindfulness on the relations between FCR and QOL.Methods A total of 240 lung cancer patients who were admitted to 3 hospitals in Shanxi Province,from January 2022 to January 2023,were enrolled in the study by convinient sampling.The fear of progression questionnaire-short form(FoP-Q-SF),mindfulness attention awareness scale(MAAS)in Chinese and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment for Cancer Quality of life questionnaire(EORTC QLQ)were employed in the cross-sectional survey.Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the association between FCR and QOL,and Bootstrap Model was adopted to analyse the mediating effect of mindfulness between FCR and QOL.Results A total of 240 questionnaires were distributed and 217 of them were retrieved,with an effective retrieval rate of 96.42%.FCR was found at a moderate level in all lung cancer patients,and it was negatively associated with the mindfulness and QOL(r=-0.348,P<0.01:r=-0.331,P<0.01).Bootstrap analysis revealed that the changes in mindfulness score acted as an intermediate variable between FCR and QOL,mediating 25.68%of the relationship.Conclusions FCR in lung cancer patients is negatively associated with QOL.This association may be explained by the reduction in mindfulness experienced by the patients.
