Key Points

This research aims to explore the impact of peer-supported continuity of care on cancer-related fatigue, self-care ability, and quality of life in lung cancer chemotherapy patients.
58 lung cancer chemotherapy patients were randomly assigned to an observation group and a control group, with 29 patients each.
The observation group received peer-supported continuity of care in addition to standard interventions, while the control group received routine post-discharge guidance and follow-up.
Both groups were followed for 6 months to assess outcomes related to fatigue, self-care ability, and quality of life.
At discharge, there were no significant differences in cancer-related fatigue, self-care ability, and quality of life scores between the two groups (P>0.05).
After 6 months, the observation group had lower cancer-related fatigue scores and higher self-care and quality of life scores compared to the control group, with significant statistical differences (P<0.05).

Finds peer support improves quality of life and reduces fatigue in lung cancer patients, suggesting beneficial care approaches.
