A qualitative study interviewed patients with metastatic lung cancer admitted to a 52-bed chest ward in a central Taiwan medical center. Participants were selected based on criteria including being over 20 years old, having exercise habits, and speaking Chinese or Taiwanese. Interview transcripts were de-identified and analyzed by a group of qualitative research experts to extract main themes.
