Hypothesis
The study aimed to identify the perceived usefulness of patient-generated health data according to depression and frailty in older adults with lung cancer surgery.
Conclusion
Understanding the levels of depression and frailty in older adults after lung cancer surgery may help healthcare providers identify the perceived usefulness of patient-generated health data.
Supporting Evidence
- The average depression score among participants was 4.18 out of 30.
- 60.6% of participants were classified as robust, 34.8% as prefrail, and 4.5% as frail.
- Participants who were prefrail perceived the usefulness of Physical and Mental Well-being Factors to be higher compared to those who were robust.
- A higher perceived usefulness of PGHD was significantly associated with being prefrail, older age, and higher life satisfaction.

This study looked at how older adults with lung cancer feel about health data they provide, especially if they are feeling depressed or frail.
