Summary
AI-generated from the abstractAmong lung cancer patients, distinct profiles of self-transcendence are associated with different levels of quality of life. A latent profile analysis identified three subgroups: low, moderate, and high self-transcendence. Patients in the high self-transcendence group reported significantly better quality of life across physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains compared to those in the low group. The findings suggest that fostering self-transcendence may be a meaningful target for psychosocial interventions aimed at improving well-being in this population.
