Status of Meaning of Life Cognition and Its Correlation with Perceived Burden in Patients with Lung Cancer
Objective To analyze the status of meaning of life cognition in patients with lung cancer and its correlation with perceived burden.Methods A total of 328 patients with lung cancer who received treatment in Henan Chest Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected to evaluate the status quo of patients'perceived burden and meaning of life cognition using the self-perceived burden scale for cancer patients(SPBS-CP)and the meaning in life questionnaire(MLQ),and to study the correlation between the status quo of patients'perceived meaning of life and perceived burden.Results In 328 patients with lung cancer,the total score of self-perceived burden was 64.99±5.32,including care burden score(13.45±2.15),economic/family burden score(23.16±3.47),psychological/emotional burden score(16.78±2.34).The treatment burden score was 11.49±1.58.The total score of cognition status of meaning of life was 32.94±3.63,including the score of existence meaning of life(17.84±1.16)and the score of finding meaning of life(14.72±1.04).Pearson analysis showed that perceived burden was negatively correlated with the meaning of life(r=-0.574),the meaning of life search(r=-0.596)and the total meaning of life(r=-0.492)(P<0.05).Conclusion The perceived burden of patients with lung cancer is at a moderate level,while the cognition of meaning of life is at a low level.In clinical practice,targeted nursing interventions should be formulated according to the actual situation of patients,so as to enhance the patients'sense of meaning of life,reduce the patients'perceived burden,and encourage them to actively cooperate with treatment.
