[Abstract] Objective To explore the effect of round-table cognitive therapy on the negative emotions of patients with lung cancer. Methods A total of 104 lung cancer patients in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were the subjects of this study, and they were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups of patients received basic cancer care. The control group was given routine psychological intervention, and the observation group was given round-table cognitive therapy for a total of 8 weeks of intervention. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Piper Fatigue Scale (RPFS) and the Cancer Quality of Life Core Scale (EORTC) were compared before and after the intervention. Results The HAMA score and HAMD score of the two groups after intervention were significantly lower than those before the intervention, and the two scores of the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After the intervention, the EORTC score of the two groups was significantly higher than that before the intervention, and the RPFS score was significantly reduced. After the intervention, the EORTC score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the RPFS score was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Psychological intervention based on round-table cognitive therapy can significantly reduce the negative emotions and cancer-related fatigue of patients with lung cancer, and improve their quality of life.
