Abstract

This study aims to synthesize the findings from existing research on health-seeking behaviors among cancer patients. A systematic review was conducted using electronic databases and websites, including Sage Journal, ProQuest, and Science Direct, on March 9, 2024. The search strategy employed a combination of MeSH terms and keywords, specifically "health-seeking behavior," "cancer care," and "cancer prevention." The analysis revealed that, out of 11 research articles reviewed, several reported a low incidence of health-seeking behavior, particularly in communities within developing countries. This was largely attributed to limited access to healthcare facilities, leading some patients to rely solely on traditional medicine. In conclusion, the decision to seek medical assistance in some communities is complex and influenced by various factors. Keywords: Cancer Care, Cancer Prevention. Health Seeking Behavior.

Abstract

Lung cancer patients often face significant psychosocial distress, negatively impacting their quality of life. To address this problem and equip patients with coping skills, the application of the concept of Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms (TOUS) has become a relevant assessment format. Ten cases of lung cancer patients managed by the Resident showed that EvidenceBased Nursing Practice (EBNP) interventions in the form of Mindfulness Loving-Kindness Meditation (MLKM) were effective in treating psychological distress. This intervention has been shown to significantly reduce levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. Therefore, MLKM is recommended as an essential nursing intervention to help lung cancer patients cope with their psychological distress. Oncology nurses are advised to adopt the TOUS approach in managing lung cancer patients experiencing psychological problems, strengthening evidence-based nursing practices in holistic governance. Keywords: Lung Cancer, Psychological Distress, Loving Kindness Meditation, Discomfort Theory.
