“…Nausea and emesis disappeared from the digestive function symptom cluster on T2. This was probably because of the complete metabolism of the narcotic analgesia drugs and a normal diet, and is consistent with the findings of Li JJ et al [24]. Drowsiness disappeared from the global mental function symptom cluster on T3 due to physical recovery.…”

“…This study showed that the special mental function and respiratory function symptom clusters negatively correlated with quality of life scores at all four time points, suggesting that medical staff should focus on the patient mental state and respiratory tract throughout the postoperative rehabilitation period. This finding different from that of Li et al [6,24]. This may be because the population included in this study was entirely composed of elderly patients, whose psychological status may be more sensitive.…”

“…This indicates that most patients have a positive attitude toward radiotherapy, which is a new type of treatment. However, with the extension of radiotherapy time, somatic symptoms related to radiotherapy begin to appear [25], resulting in anxiety about disease progression, which may result in a signi cant decrease in the level of hope [26].…”

Objective For middle-aged and elderly patients with lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy, the care and support received from family members or close social supporters during treatment significantly influence the physical and mental state and treatment outcomes of the patient. Hope, a positive emotional state, reflects patients’ attitudes and expectations toward their condition, treatment process, and prognosis. The level of hope may vary among middle-aged and elderly patients with lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Therefore, exploring individual differences and developmental changes during radiotherapy is important. This study aims to evaluate whether heterogeneity exists in the levels of hope among middle-aged and elderly patients with lung cancer during thoracic radiotherapy, identify related predictive factors, and understand the level of family care received by patients at this stage, to provide targeted interventions for patients with lung cancer with different levels of hope. Methods A total of 124 patients with lung cancer were included. Their levels of hope and extent of family care were evaluated at four time points. Growth mixture models, univariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression were used to study the trajectory in the level of hope, its association with outcomes, and its predictive factors. Results Two hope trajectory classes were identified: the slow decline (27.4%) and the rapid decline (72.6%). Age, marital status, level of education, and extent of family care were factors influencing the hope trajectory categories during radiotherapy for middle-aged and elderly patients with lung cancer (P < 0.05). Conclusion The trajectories of hope among middle-aged and elderly patients with lung cancer during radiotherapy were heterogeneous. Healthcare providers can tailor interventions based on the factors that influence these hope trajectory categories.

Purpose To identify symptom clusters (SCs) in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and explore their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods Patients were invited to complete the Chinese version of the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory with the Lung Cancer Module and the Quality of Life Questionnaire-core 30. Network analysis was employed to identify SCs. The associations between SCs and each function of HRQoL were examined using the Pearson correlation matrix. Multiple linear regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of each function of HRQoL. Results A total of 623 lung cancer patients who were receiving chemotherapy were recruited. The global health status of lung cancer patients was 59.71 ± 21.09, and 89.73% of patients developed symptoms. Three SCs (Somato-psychological SC, Respiratory SC, and Gastrointestinal SC) were identified, and Somato-psychological SC and Gastrointestinal SC were identified as influencing factors for HRQoL in lung cancer patients. Conclusion Most lung cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy experience a range of symptoms, which can be categorized into three SCs. The Somato-psychological SC and Gastrointestinal SC negatively impacted patients' HRQoL. Health care providers should prioritize monitoring these SCs to identify high-risk patients early and implement targeted preventive and intervention measures for each SC, aiming to alleviate symptom burden and enhance HRQoL.
