Article Abstract
Objective: The present study investigated the interrelationships among fatigue, depressive symptoms, resilience, and fear of cancer recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer.
Method: Patients were recruited from the colorectal cancer surgical outpatient departments of two medical centers in northern Taiwan. A total of 416 patients with colorectal cancer at Stages 0-III were recruited. The Fatigue Symptom Inventory, Resilience Scale, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form were adopted. The generated serial multiple mediation model was examined using the Hayes PROCESS macro V4.3 in SPSS.
Results: The patients had mild overall scores in fatigue, depressive symptoms, and fear of cancer recurrence but moderate scores in resilience. Notably, 46.6% of the patients had clinical-level scores in fear of cancer recurrence. Fear of cancer recurrence was negatively correlated with resilience and positively correlated with fatigue and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, resilience and depressive symptoms fully mediated the relationship between fatigue and fear of cancer recurrence.
Conclusions: The findings of this study underscore the pivotal roles of resilience and depressive symptoms in the relationship between fatigue and fear of cancer recurrence. Therefore, health care providers are encouraged to prioritize early assessment and the management of depressive symptoms in patients with colorectal cancer and incorporate resilience-focused interventions into their care plans.

Prior research has shown that patients with early Barrett's neoplasia treated endoscopically report at least the same level of fear for cancer recurrence as patients treated surgically for a more advanced disease stage. The aim of this qualitative study was to gain insight into the reasons why endoscopically treated patients fear or not fear cancer recurrence. Patients treated endoscopically for T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma participated in a semi-structured interview.

Objective: This study explores whether cancer patients' dysfunctional self-focus is a significant contributor to their fear of progression. In addition, we investigated whether their psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and dysfunctional beliefs about sleep may mediate the relationship between these factors.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical records review of 196 cancer patients who visited the Stress Management Clinic for the first time from March to September 2022.

Introduction: Health systems are often weakened by public health emergencies that make it harder to access health services. We aimed to assess maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) service utilisation during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with prior to the pandemic.
Methods: We conducted a mixed study design in eight health facilities that are part of the Birhan field site in Amhara, Ethiopia and compared the trend of service utilisation in the first 6 months of COVID-19 with the corresponding time and data points of the preceding year.

Background: At present, there are many influencing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but based on this, there are few studies on the risk prediction model of PTSD symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors of PTSD symptoms in patients with AMI and to construct a risk prediction model.
Methods: From April 2021 to March 2022, 287 patients were enrolled from a hospital in Shandong Province, China.
