Abstract
Psychosocial variables appear to be stronger predictors of psychological distress and reduced quality of life than sociodemographic or clinical variables. These results are instrumental in the developing field of psychosocial interventions for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and their caregivers, which may also be helpful for health care providers. Suggestions for research and clinical implications are presented.
