Symptom management nursing intervention can improve the self-management efficacy, psychological resilience, and QoL of patients with advanced lung cancer.
Self management efficacy is an important mediating variable in the impact of Symptom management nursing intervention on patients' quality of life. Psychological resilience plays a negative moderating role in the effect of Symptom management nursing intervention. Late stage lung cancer patients with low psychological resilience can obtain more significant self management efficacy and quality of life improvement from Symptom management nursing intervention, and are the key beneficiaries of the intervention.

Change in Quality of Life as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) Scale
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) scale will be used to assess changes in quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer. The scale consists of 36 items across five domains: physical health status, social and family conditions, emotional well-being, functional capability, and lung cancer-specific supplementary concerns. Each item is scored on a 0-4 Likert scale, with total scores ranging from 0 to 144. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. The scale has demonstrated good reliability and validity in Chinese populations (Cronbach's α = 0.88-0.92).
Time frame: Baseline (within 24 hours of admission) and at 8 weeks (immediately post-intervention)
Change in Self-Management Efficacy as measured by the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH) Scale
The SUPPH scale will be used to assess changes in disease self-management efficacy. The scale includes 28 items across three dimensions: Positive Attitude, Self-Applied Stress Reduction, and Independent Decision-Making. Each item is scored on a 1-5 Likert scale, with total scores ranging from 28 to 140. Higher scores indicate greater self-management efficacy. The Chinese version has excellent reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.96 for the total scale).
Time frame: Baseline (within 24 hours of admission) and at 8 weeks (immediately post-intervention)
Change in Psychological Resilience as measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)
The CD-RISC will be used to assess changes in psychological resilience. The scale measures three dimensions-Tenacity, Self-Improvement, and Optimism-using 25 items. Each item is rated on a 0-4 scale, with total scores ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate stronger psychological resilience. The Chinese version has demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.91).
Time frame: Baseline (within 24 hours of admission) and at 8 weeks (immediately post-intervention)
