Mediating role of resilience in the association between stigma and psychosocial adjustment among young and middle-aged patients with lung cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis cross-sectional study aimed to examine the level of psychosocial adjustment among young and middle-aged patients with lung cancer, explore the influencing factors of psychosocial adjustment, and identify the mediating role of resilience between stigma and psychosocial adjustment.
methodsBetween October 2022 and October 2023, data were collected using a self-designed demographic and disease-related questionnaire, the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self-Report (PAIS-SR), Social Impact Scale (SIS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The sample comprised 245 patients with lung cancer recruited from a tertiary grade A cancer center in southern China. To analyze the data, hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used, and the mediation Model 4 of the PROCESS macro in SPSS was implemented.
resultsParticipants (42.9%) had moderate or severe psychosocial maladjustment. Financial stress, cancer stage, time since treatment completion, dyspnea, stigma, and resilience were included in the final regression model and explained 46.2% of the variance of psychosocial adjustment. The total and direct effects of stigma on psychosocial adjustment were significant, and a positive indirect effect was identified for stigma on psychosocial adjustment via resilience.
conclusionsStigma had a negative impact on psychosocial adjustment among young and middle-aged lung cancer patients, while resilience had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between stigma and psychosocial adjustment. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Targeted psychosocial interventions should be developed to alleviate stigma, enhance psychological resilience, and ultimately support patients' reintegration into society and their return to normal life.
