Lung Cancer Patients and Parent-child Interaction Experience and Process

Lung Cancer Patients and Parent-child Interaction Experience and Process

Type of study: The goal of this observational study is to explore the relationship between patients with advanced lung cancer and their parent-child interactions during the treatment process, and to understand the impact of the degree of self-differentiation of parents with advanced lung cancer on the physical and mental health of their children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To explore the post-illness adjustment process of patients with advanced lung cancer and the changes in the parent-child relationship among adolescents.
2. To explore the changes in demographic factors-self-belief, mental health, and self-efficacy among patients with advanced lung cancer-and the parent-child relationship among adolescents.
3. Explore the family resilience of patients with advanced lung cancer - family peer relationships, and the interaction between parent-child relationships among adolescents.

This study explores the relationship between late-stage lung cancer patients and their parent-child interactions during the treatment process, and understands the impact of the degree of self-differentiation of parents with late-stage lung cancer on their children's physical and mental health.

4. Voluntary participants can express themselves orally and in handwriting.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Single lung cancer patients over 65 years old.
