A two-arm, assessor-blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted to investigate the effects of ACT on advanced lung cancer patients compared to usual care. Participants in the same ward will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group or control group. Block randomization will be conducted by an independent research assistant using randomly varying block size of 4, 6 to avoid selection bias. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of ACT on fatigue interference and health-related quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer. The Specific objectives are: 1) To investigate the effects of ACT on primary outcomes: fatigue interference and health-related quality of life compared to control group at post-intervention and three months follow-up. 2) To investigate the effects of ACT on the secondary outcomes: cancer-related fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, distress and exercise capacity and process outcomes including psychological flexibility, ACT related variables (acceptance and cognitive defusion) at post-intervention and three months follow-up.
