AB - Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the impacts of stigma and distress on the quality of life in patients with lung cancer. Methods: The participants of this study were 122 lung cancer patients who were admitted to the lung cancer ward or visited the outpatient respiratory center of C and K university hospital in Daegu, South Korea, from August 1st, 2013 to April 30th, 2014. To measure stigma, distress and quality of life, Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Scale, Distress Thermometer and Problem List and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung Cancer(FACT-L) were used. Using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program, data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, the post-hoc-scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results: Stigma showed correlations with positive distress. Stigma and distress were negatively correlated with quality of life. The significant factors influencing the quality of life include distress, type of treatment, and Job, and they explained 38.0% of the variance. Distress was one of the most frequent psychological factors regarding quality of life in lung cancer patients. Conclusion: Lung cancer experience with stigma and distress had a negative influence on quality of life. The results demonstrate the need of developing an intervention program which regularly assesses and control lung cancer patients with distress and stigma in order to improve their quality of life.
