Abstract

In-person support groups are effective in addressing the greater unmet physical and emotional needs and high rates of distress experienced by those diagnosed with lung cancer. Due to the stigma, disease-specific groups are preferred but can be challenging to start and maintain. As a result, there are never enough active groups in the United States to meet the support needs of the community. When the pandemic hit, groups across the world stopped meeting in person, cutting off vital support. To date, lung cancer groups in the United Kingdom, typically run by RNs, have yet to restart.
