Abstract

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine health-related quality of life and to identify the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship among uncertainty, distress, and health-related quality of life in lung cancer patients. Methods: A total of 149 lung cancer patients visiting the D hospital in B city completed a questionnaire, including demographic and disease-specific characteristics, uncertainty, distress, resilience, and health-related quality of life. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses via SPSS 24. Results: Health-related quality of life was $81.00{\pm}21.39$ (range 0~136) in lung cancer patients. In the results of hierarchical regression analyses, the health-related quality of life was associated with education, uncertainty, distress, and resilience. However, there was no mediating effect of resilience on the relationship among uncertainty, distress, and health-related quality of life. Conclusion: Lung cancer patients with high uncertainty and distress and low resilience could experience low health-related quality of life. In order to reduce uncertainty and distress, it is necessary to provide more detailed, systematic information and support, while reinforcing positive thinking.
