This research investigated the impact of stigma and nihilistic (destructiveness to self or others; or the view that medical treatments are of no value) views from the perspective of health professionals and people affected by lung cancer, including people from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background. Cancer Council Queensland, as part of the Lung cancer Australia study (Cancer Australia), undertook a literature review and qualitative and quantitative research to gain an understanding of the impact of stigma and nihilistic views. The results of this research will be used to inform the content of public health messages, clinical practice and supportive care guidelines for health professionals.
