Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the mediating effect of resilience on perceived social support and fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in glioma patients.MethodsA total of 128 glioma patients were enrolled for the survey by Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), perceived social support scale (PSSS) and Chinese version of fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF). Structural equation model was used to analyze the effects of resilience.ResultsThe score of FCR in glioma patients was 29.52±8.30. A total of 47 patients had FCR (total score ≥34), with an incidence of 36.7%. There was a correlation between FCR, resilience and social support (P<0.01). The resilience between perceived social support and FCR in glioma patients had good fitting with the structural equation model. Resilience played a mediating role between perceived social support and FCR, with a mediating effect of 48.4%.ConclusionThe level of resilience can be improved by improving the perceived social support in patients with glioma to reduce the FCR of patients.
