Infusion clinic staff at a veterans hospital tend to focus care primarily on the medical needs of patients, but evidence suggests health outcomes improve when both the mental health and physical needs of patients with cancer are addressed.Objectives: This evidence-based practice project sought to reduce anxiety in veterans undergoing chemotherapy infusions through virtual reality (VR) meditation.Methods: The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice guided the project. A literature search and appraisal identified level I-III evidence suggesting that VR meditation, compared to standard care, had significant reduction of anxiety in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. At a veterans hospital outpatient infusion clinic, a team developed a standard operating procedure, trained nursing staff, and administered immersive VR meditation via headset with an installed meditation application during chemotherapy infusions. Participants (N = 17) completed pre- and postintervention surveys measuring anxiety.Findings: Results suggested a statistically significant reduction in anxiety from pre-VR meditation (mean = 1.59) to post-VR meditation (mean = 0.18) (p = 0.003). Nursing implementation of VR meditation during chemotherapy infusions may reduce anxiety in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.","PeriodicalId":10350,"journal":{"name":"Clinical journal of oncology nursing","volume":"30 5","pages":"388-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13649049/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149104889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fatalistic beliefs reflect perceptions that cancer outcomes are inevitable despite prevention or treatment, whereas perceived information ambiguity reflects uncertainty about available health information.Objective: This study examined associations among perceived information ambiguity, cancer-related fatalistic beliefs, and lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among LCS-eligible adults.Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from December 2023 to February 2024. Participants were LCS-eligible adults with at least a 20 pack-year smoking history, were a current smoker or quit smoking within the past 15 years, and had no prior lung cancer history. The primary outcome was LCS uptake within the past year; predictors were cancer-related fatalistic beliefs and perceived information ambiguity. Descriptive statistics and multinomial multivariable logistic regression were used to examine associations.Findings: Most participants were aged 50-64 years (n = 559, 65%), female (n = 498, 58%), White (n = 681, 79%), and insured (n = 800, 93%), and had an annual household income of $34,999 or less (n = 457, 53%). Mean pack-year smoking history was 39.4 (SD = 17.4). LCS uptake was reported within the past year by 159 (18%) participants, more than one year ago by 183 (21%) participants, and never by 521 (60%) participants. Cancer-related fatalistic beliefs were not significantly associated with LCS uptake. Participants who reported perceived information ambiguity were 37% less likely to report LCS uptake in the past year (relative risk ratio = 0.63, 95% confidence interval [0.41, 0.96]). The findings support the implementation of nursing strategies to reduce perceived information ambiguity regarding LCS.","PeriodicalId":10350,"journal":{"name":"Clinical journal of oncology nursing","volume":"30 5","pages":"357-366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13649048/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149104832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
