The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of Meaning in Life Questionnaire (C-MLQ), and the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) .Results:The score of meaning in life among postoperative lung cancer patients was (45.71±5.90). Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that living alone, educational level, and cancer-related fatigue were the influencing factors on the meaning in life among postoperative lung cancer patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The meaning in life of postoperative lung cancer patients is at a moderate level. Medical and nursing staff should focus on patients who live alone and have a low level of education, and can also improve their meaning in life by alleviating cancer-related fatigue.
