Title A name given to the resource OA17.01Stigma and psychological distress in patients with lung cancer: A possible role of EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy Description An account of the resource Background Lung cancer patients—especially current or former smokers—often experience social stigma, leading to guilt, self-devaluation, and anticipation of negative judgment. This stigma contributes to psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life. Objectives Document stigma in lung cancer patients and individuals in smoking cessation programs. Measure correlations between stigma, anxiety, depression, and quality of life across disease stages. Evaluate EMDR therapy as a psychotherapeutic intervention to help reprocess traumatic or emotionally stressful experiences related to illness and personal history. Methods Participants included lung cancer patients and smokers undergoing cessation treatment. Psychological assessments used: • Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Scale • Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) • SF-36 Quality of Life • Impact of Events Scale (IES-R) • CORE-OM • Post-Traumatic Symptom Questionnaire (PTSQ) • Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) EMDR’s Role EMDR was used to desensitize and cognitively restructure distressing experiences. Aimed to improve emotional regulation, reduce self-stigma, and support behavioral change in smoking cessation and coping with illness.

Title A name given to the resource OA17.01 Stigma and psychological distress in patients with lung cancer: A possible role of EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy Description An account of the resource Psychological distress is common in patients with lung cancer, and has a severe negative impact on quality of life. Anxiety and depression are the most frequently reported symptoms . In some cases cancer may cause stigma, often linked to the belief that the patient’s behavior (e. g . smoking) caused the disease, and may represent a traumatic event leading to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD, and has shown promising results in reducing anxiety and depression.

Title A name given to the resource The social stigma of smokers and patients with lung cancer: Detection of phenomenon and testing of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) intervention Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Annals of Oncology, 35(52), Supplement 2S1010. doi:10.1016/j.annonc.2024.08.1773 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024, September Description An account of the resource Background One of the unmet needs in Lung Cancer Care is the Stigma of patients due to the smoking habits; the condition of current smoker or former smoker causes the perception of the one’s incorrect lifestyle so, more than in other pathologies, patients with lung cancer are burdened with feelings of guilt and self-devaluation in anticipation of a negative social judgment. In addition to detecting this phenomenon, the study aims to psychologically support lung cancer patients, as well as smokers who belong to the Antismoking Centre in our Institute and who present with high levels of distress, through a psychotherapeutic path according to the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) model which could allow the reworking of traumatic or emotionally stressful moments, linked to the phases of the disease and to the personal history. The EMDR is one of the techniques that support smokers in quitting; the processing of the experience that occurs with EMDR allows the subject, through desensitization and cognitive restructuring, to change perspective and adopt more appropriate behaviors. Trial design Objectives of this study are the following: 1) to document the presence of stigma in current smokers or former smokers with lung cancer and subjects who undertake a smoke cessation program ; 2) to measure the correlation between stigma, level of anxiety, depression, quality of life and psychophysical well-being in the different phases of the disease starting from diagnosis and throughout treatment process;3) to investigate the impact and the efficacy of the EMDR model through the psychological re-evaluation of stress, depression and anxiety. The sociocultural, psychological factors and lifestyles of the participants will be investigated, including any gender-related differences regarding the Lung Cancer stigma, smoking habits and the outcome of a tobacco cessation process. A number of 45 subjects is planned to be recruited. Legal entity responsible for the study: The authors. Funding: Has not received any funding.
