Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the clinical applicability of a nursing intervention model for patients with advanced lung cancer continuously receiving outpatient chemotherapy, focusing on their hope. With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of advanced lung cancer, patients’ environmental and emotional conditions have changed since we developed the initial version of this model. Therefore, it should be revised through collaboration with clinical nurses, so as to be more effective for patients with advanced lung cancer using such drugs.
