What aspects does psychological care for lung cancer include? Since patients with advanced lung cancer are psychologically and physiologically fragile, especially when they are just diagnosed, it is difficult for patients and their families to accept the situation. When patients are admitted to the hospital, nurses should take the initiative to care for and comfort them, introduce them to the ward environment, the attending physician and the attending nurse, eliminate their sense of strangeness and tension, reduce their fear of hospitalization, help them make friends with other patients, guide their families to give them strong support in spirit and life, keep abreast of the patients' psychological changes, and adopt various forms of psychological counseling for them.

Most lung cancer patients' emotions can be aggravated by external factors, but they can also get better because of them. Therefore, nurses should treat patients sincerely, be natural when talking to them, show their concern and sympathy for them at all times, ask for the help they need, make them trust nurses, and confide their inner changes to them. Nurses can capture information in time through talking with patients, and give appropriate psychological care at the right time to eliminate patients' concerns, stabilize their emotions, inspire patients to increase their confidence in treatment, and actively and optimistically cooperate with medical care.

Establishing a good nurse-patient relationship is the premise for timely and effective psychological counseling, so nurses should communicate with patients frequently. They should close the distance between themselves and patients through chatting, listen to patients' statements patiently, and use the knowledge they have learned to properly explain the condition. They should understand the feelings and emotional changes hidden in patients' language through conversations, and take effective psychological care in a timely manner.
