Patients with cancer experience many physical and psychological symptoms that negatively impact both their experience of their illness and health outcomes (1–4). Among patients with lung cancer, data suggest that symptoms such as pain, dyspnea, fatigue, and nausea are associated with worse quality of life (QOL) and increased psychological distress (5). Research has also demonstrated that both poor QOL and depression are associated with worse survival (6–13). Notably, studies have shown that clinicians often fail to reliably detect their patients’ symptoms and frequently underestimate their severity (14–17). In addition, studies suggest that patients with cancer may underreport their symptoms to their clinicians, resulting in poor symptom management (4,18–20). Thus, there is increasing interest in developing and testing interventions that allow patients to self-report their symptoms, which are then delivered to their clinical team as a means to improve outcomes.

癌症患者会经历许多生理和心理症状，这会对他们的疾病经历和健康结果产生负面影响（1-4）。在肺癌患者中，数据表明诸如疼痛，呼吸困难，疲劳和恶心等症状与生活质量（QOL）下降和心理困扰增加有关（5）。研究还表明，不良的生活质量和抑郁都与较差的生存率有关（6-13）。值得注意的是，研究表明，临床医生常常无法可靠地检测出患者的症状，并经常低估其严重程度（14-17）。此外，研究表明，癌症患者可能无法向临床医生报告其症状，从而导致不良的症状管理（4,18–20）。因此，
