Abstract:
Objective To assess the level of self-compassion in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy and identify its influencing factors in order to provide targeted intervention strategies for clinical nursing practice.Methods Using a convenience sampling method,a total of 110 patients with lung cancer who were hospitalized for chemotherapy in Fujian Cancer Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected.A general information questionnaire,self-compassion scale,M.D.Anderson symptom inventory-lung cancer,and perceived social support scale were used to investigate.Results The total score for self-compassion among lung cancer chemotherapy patients was(76.81±9.49)points,the total score for symptom burden was(112.05±35.98)points,and the total score for social support was(38.98±2.49)points.Self-compassion was negatively correlated with symptom burden(r=-0.849,P＜0.001)and positively correlated with social support(r=0.881,P＜0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age,gender,symptom burden and social support were the influencing factors of self-compassion in patients with lung cancer chemotherapy(P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of self-compassion among lung cancer chemotherapy patients is moderately low.Age,gender,symptom burden and social support were the factors influencing self-compassion of patients with lung cancer chemotherapy.Nursing staff should consider demographic characteristics and use strategies such as reducing symptom burden and improving social support to enhance self-compassion levels,thereby reducing negative emotions and improving the quality of life.
