Abstract: Objective To describe the level of self-perceived burden (SPB) and analyze its influencing factors among the patients with advanced lung cancer, in order to provide a theoretical basis for individualized nursing care. Methods A total of 102 hospitalized patients with lung cancer from 3 hospitals in Shandong province were investigated by the Self-Perceived Burden Scale for Cancer Patient (SPBS-CP). Results The total score of the SPBS-CP was (60.31±17.06) points, which indicated at a moderate level. Those patients rated the highest score on the sub-scale of economic/family burden (22.04±6.72) points, the lowest score on the sub scale of care burden (10.28±3.62) points. Single factor analysis and regression results showed that different work conditions, different stages were related with SPB. Conclusions Patients with moderate and advanced lung cancer had a moderate or higher level of SPB. Staff nurses should focus on the psychological status of the patients and take positive interventions to release the negative emotional experiences.
