Despite the effectiveness of psychological interventions for death anxiety, discussions around death are often avoided in China due to cultural taboos and neglect of end-of-life care.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of the self-designed end-of-life demands card game (ELDCG) and mindfulness-based cancer recovery program (MBCR) programs in alleviating death anxiety, anxiety, depression, and stress in patients with advanced lung cancer.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a randomized, single anonymized study. We randomly assigned 77 patients into two groups: the intervention group (38 patients) and the control group (39 patients). Routine health promotion was implemented in the intervention group, along with the ELDCG combined with the MBCR program, while the control group only received routine health promotion. The intervention lasted for 6 weeks. The intervention group completed the ELDCG within the first week, and the MBCR was completed during the remaining 5 weeks. The primary outcome was the Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (T-DAS) score, and the secondary outcomes were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score, the score on the Chinese version of the Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), and frequency of selection in the ELDCG. The assessment results of these scales were collected both before the intervention began and after the 6-week intervention period. The frequency of card selections was recorded after the ELDCG.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After implementing the 6-week ELDCG and MBCR program, the intervention group showed significantly lower scores than the control group in death anxiety (<i>p</i> < 0.001), anxiety (<i>p</i> < 0.001), depression (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and stress (<i>p</i> < 0.001).

Together, they seemed to alleviate death anxiety and negative emotions by addressing these psychological factors, which in turn improves patients' ability to manage their illness. This improvement not only enhances their quality of life but also helps prevent the unnecessary consumption of healthcare resources, thus alleviating some of the financial strain on the healthcare system.

The acquisition of vocabulary is a complex, dynamic process of mapping word sound (phonology) to meaning (semantics) supported by contextual cues; a complexity that vocabulary interventions need to address. To understand the key features and impact of such interventions, a systematic review of word-learning studies involving children aged 5-11 with DLD was conducted.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>A structured search covered seven electronic databases for the period 1990-2023. In addition, the reference lists of identified studies were searched manually. Studies were appraised for quality and data was extracted relating to word-learning effectiveness and intervention characteristics. Findings were reported as written summaries and quantitative data ranges.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Sixteen relevant studies were identified with most appraised as medium quality. Interventions tended to be delivered individually in school by speech and language therapists. The most common outcome measure was expressive target-word tests, such as picture naming and word definitions. Interventions explicitly targeting phonological and semantic word features had the most high-quality studies reporting significant vocabulary gain. The inclusion of stories to provide context implicitly during phonological and semantic interventions was beneficial, though stories alone were less effective. Specificity in learning was noted across studies. Gains did not generally transfer to non-targeted words and showed depreciation following therapy. Intervention responses were influenced by children's language profiles. For example, children with more severe language difficulties were less responsive to contextual cues during story reading and were more distracted by extraneous music during multimedia-supported word learning.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Whilst the available studies have limitations in range and quality, they do suggest some benefits of combining explicit and implicit vocabulary strategies and considering children's presenting profiles. Implications for practitioners supporting the individual needs of children with DLD are discussed. This includes addressing issues with the generalization and maintenance of vocabulary gains by targeting the most relevant words and encouraging recall and self-management strategies. Further research should explore the influence of home-school carryover.</p><p><strong>Systematic review registration: </strong>https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022327345, PROSPERO, Reg: CRD42022327345.</p>","PeriodicalId":12525,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Psychology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1517311"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11962024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143772117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
