Abstract：Objective To investigate the level of economic toxicity and its influencing factors among young and mid-dle-aged lung cancer patients in Wuhan and to provide a foundation for designing care programs aimed at preventing or mitigating economic toxicity in this population.Methods A total of 407 young and middle-aged patients with lung cancer who were treated in 3 grade A tertiary hospitals in Wuhan from September 2023 to March 2024 were selected by conven-ience sampling method,the general information questionnaire,the comprehensive scores for financial toxicity(COST-PROM),connor-davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC)and the fear of progression questionnaire-short form(FOP-Q-SF)were administered to all participants.Results The COST-PROM score was(13.72±6.33)indicating a relatively high level.The CD-RISC and FOP-Q-SF scores were(33.06±11.67)and(36.45±8.75),respectively.The score of FOP-Q-SF was negatively correlated with the score of COST-PROM(r=-0.133,P＜0.01),and the score of CD-RISC was positively correlated with the score of COST-PROM(r=0.566,P＜0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that occupations of patents,number of minor children,family monthly income,method of medical expenses pay-ment and CD-RISC scores were the main influencing factor of COST-PROM scores(P＜0.05).Conclusion The econom-ic toxicity of young and middle-aged lung cancer patients in Wuhan is common,medical and nursing workers need to take intervention measures according to its influencing factors to enhance their confidence in coping with the disease,so as to reduce the level of economic toxicity of lung cancer patients.
