Decision-Making Readiness and Its Influencing Factors Among Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Observational study in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDecision-making readiness is essential for effective patient participation in treatment decisions, especially for lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy who face repeated complicated treatment choices. However, existing research investigating their level of decision-making readiness and its associated influencing factors remains inadequate.
aimsThis study aimed to investigate the level of decision-making readiness among hospitalized lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and further explore the influencing factors of their decision-making readiness. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional observational design was adopted. A total of 452 hospitalized lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected via multiple questionnaires: the Chinese Version of the Preparation for Decision Making Scale, Decisional Conflict Scale, Patient Attitude Toward Treatment Decision-Making Scale, Decision Regret Scale, and a self-designed questionnaire covering sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple linear regression were applied for data analysis.
resultsThe median score of participants' decision-making readiness was 62.00 (56.00, 70.00), representing a moderate overall readiness level. Correlation analysis demonstrated that decision-making readiness was positively associated with patients' willingness to participate in treatment decision-making and negatively associated with decisional conflict. Hierarchical regression revealed that demographic variables could explain 9.2% of the total variance of decision-making readiness, and the inclusion of decisional conflict and decision participation attitude raised the explanatory power to 31.1%. Economic status, residential location, decisional conflict and participation attitude were identified as significant predictive factors of decision-making readiness. DISCUSSION: Lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy only possess moderate decision-making readiness. Compared with demographic characteristics, psychosocial factors (decisional conflict and decision participation attitude) exert a stronger impact on patients' decision-making readiness. These findings also support the applicability of the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation in the field of cancer treatment decision-making research.
conclusionTargeted nursing decision-support interventions are urgently needed to assess and elevate lung cancer patients' decision-making readiness, which can further promote the practice of patient-centered treatment decision-making.
