Objective
To explore the association of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) and stigma as well as the mediating role of fear of progression (FoP) in lung cancer patients.
Methods
Two hundred and forty-two lung cancer patients completed a self-reported questionnaire, which included the highly sensitive person scale (HSPS), fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF), and the Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Scale (CLCSS).
Results
CLCSS was positively correlated with FoP (Pearson correlation = 0.217,
Conclusions
Patients with higher SPS reported higher level of stigma, and FoP has a mediating role between SPS and stigma. Our discussion deemed that psychological intervention may help higher SPS patients reduce the harm of FoP and further reduce stigma.
