Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

resilience

The Chinese version of 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), translated and revised by Chinese scholars, was used in this study. Cronbach's alpha for the Chinese version was 0.855, indicating good internal consistency. It was also applied to cancer patients in China. Each of which was scored on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5 points, from "Never" to "Almost always", with higher scores representing a higher level of psychological resilience.

Time frame: immediately after surgery (T1), three month post-surgery (T2), six months post-surgery (T3), 12 months post-surgery (T4)

anxiety

Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used in this study to assess the anxiety and depression of elderly cancer patients, which was developed by Zigmond AS et al. The scale consists of 14 items, including anxiety and depression subscales. Each item is rated on a 4 point scale, and the scores of the anxiety and depression scales range from 0 to 21 points. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the HADS for this study was 0.85.

Time frame: immediately after surgery (T1), three month post-surgery (T2), six months post-surgery (T3), 12 months post-surgery (T4)

depression

Time frame: immediately after surgery (T1), three month post-surgery (T2), six months post-surgery (T3), 12 months post-surgery (T4)
