Objective: To analyze the influence of common decision nursing + cluster care based on information asymmetry theory in lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy on their psychological state and disease information mastery. Methods: 72 lung cancer patients who received radiotherapy in our hospital between February 2023 and February 2,2024,36 patients received routine care as the control group, and another 36 patients received common decision care + cluster care based on information asymmetry theory as observation group; compare the psychological status [anxiety self-rating scale (SAS), depression self-rating scale (SDS)] and degree of disease information. Results: (1) the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group decreased significantly after intervention, and were lower than that of the control group (P <0.05); (2) after intervention, the disease information improved significantly, and all scores were higher than that of the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion: Common decision care + cluster care for lung cancer patients receiving radiotherapy can significantly improve their psychological state and improve their cognition of disease-related information.
