Abstract
Introduction. Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of mortality in Mexico, representing a serious public health problem. Patients show various psychosocial disorders, among which symptoms of anxiety, depression, and higher levels of perceived stigma are the most prevalent, affecting their quality of life. Various psychological interventions help improve the psychological state of cancer patients; however, the evidence is not as abundant in patients with LC. Objective. To explore the evidence of successful psychological interventions for symptoms of anxiety, depression, perceived stigma, and quality of life in patients with PC. Method. An IOP search was carried out in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library databases. There was no restriction on the publication dates. Results. 653 articles appeared, from which four random control essays and one quasi-experiment were included for this review. Discussion. The results provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of various psychological interventions, behavioral-cognitive therapy is the most frequently reported type of intervention and with the most noticeable positive effects on reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and perceived stigma and improving the quality of life. More research would better demonstrate its effectiveness in patients with PC in the Latino population, particularly in Mexico.
