Study on the current status and influencing factors of psychological resilience in postoperative patients with non-small cell lung cancer

This study aimed to investigate the psychological resilience level of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery and to systematically analyze the related influencing factors. A total of 196 NSCLC patients who visited the hospital from January to December 2025 were selected as research subjects. The psychological resilience scale was used to assess patients’ psychological resilience level, and its influencing factors were further analyzed. The patients’ tenacity score was 33.30 ± 11.70, the optimism score was 11.03 ± 3.64, the strength score was 21.57 ± 7.37, and the total psychological resilience score was 65.90 ± 21.20, which was moderate. The univariate analysis results revealed that age, sex, education level, marital status, occupation, previous chemotherapy history, smoking history, and recurrence and metastasis status were statistically significant influencing factors of psychological resilience in NSCLC patients ( P  < .05). The multivariate linear regression results indicated that education level, marital status, previous chemotherapy history, and recurrence and metastasis status were significant influencing factors of psychological resilience in patients with NSCLC ( P  < .05). The overall psychological resilience of NSCLC patients is moderate and is regulated by multiple factors, such as education level, marital status, previous chemotherapy history, and recurrence and metastasis status. Clinically, targeted interventions need to be strengthened to increase patients’ psychological resilience and thereby improve disease prognosis.
