Purpose: This systematic review examined the characteristics and reported outcomes of digital health-based symptom-monitoring and symptom-management components for patients with lung cancer. Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261362833). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, RISS, and DBpia were searched from inception to February 23, 2026. Studies were included if they utilized digital health-based symptom monitoring to adults with lung cancer or lung cancer-inclusive mixed-cancer populations and reported intervention-related outcomes. Study characteristics, intervention components, digital health modalities, and outcome variables were extracted and analyzed. Methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist. Results: Ten studies were included. Digital health modalities included mobile applications, web-based systems, institution-provided electronic devices, and interactive voice-response systems. Interventions commonly incorporated symptom reporting, severity classification, automated alerts, self-management information, and clinician feedback. Digital health-based symptom monitoring showed potential for improved symptom burden and quality of life; however, outcomes varied across studies. Positive outcomes were observed in some studies that included alerts and clinician’s responses in case of symptom deterioration. Evidence regarding unplanned healthcare utilization remained limited. Conclusion: Digital health-based symptom monitoring in studies among patients with lung cancer showed potential to support early identification of symptom deterioration and symptom management in some studies; however, the findings should be interpreted cautiously because symptom-management components varied across studies. Future studies should clearly define symptom items, assessment timing, intervention duration, and feedback systems according to the treatment trajectory and symptom characteristics.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare nursing organizational culture, nursing work environment, and job embeddedness among clinical nurses across different generations. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. This cross-sectional study utilized a structured self-report questionnaire to collect data from August 17 to August 23, 2022. Participants included 209 nurses with at least one year of clinical experience, recruited from three tertiary university hospitals in Daegu, South Korea. Data was collected directly by the researcher through manual distribution and retrieval of the surveys. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 29.0 with descriptive statistics, x2 test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and ANCOVA. Results: No significant generational differences were found in nursing organizational culture or job embeddedness. However, significant generational differences were observed in the nursing work environment(F=3.98, p<.05), with Generation X reporting a more positive perception than Generations Y. The generational correlation analysis showed that the nursing work environment was positively associated with job embeddedness across all generations. An innovation-oriented culture was most relevant to the nursing work environment in every generation. For job embeddedness, an innovation-oriented culture was prominent among Generations X and Y, while a relationshiporiented culture was prominent among Generation Z. A hierarchical-oriented culture showed negative correlations with innovation-oriented culture, the nursing work environment, and job embeddedness across all generations. Conclusion: Based on these findings, nursing organizations need to improve nurses' organizational adaptability and job embeddedness by creating a participatory organizational culture and a positive work environment, considering generational diversity and role characteristics within the organization.
