Cross-Sectional
Type D personality is associated with preoperative psychological distress in gynecologic cancer patients, partially mediated by illness perception.
Effect estimate: Mediation effect 0.089 (95% CI 0.062-0.118)
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of psychological distress in preoperative gynecologic cancer patients, and to examine the mediating role of illness perception between Type D personality and psychological distress. Methods: ) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: = 0.089, 95% CI: 0.062-0.118), accounting for 45.6% of the total effect. Conclusions: Preoperative psychological distress was prevalent among gynecologic cancer patients. Both Type D personality and illness perception were significantly associated with psychological distress. The study indicated that Type D personality is associated with preoperative psychological distress, and this association may be partially explained by illness perception. Routine screening for Type D personality and targeted cognitive interventions addressing illness perception during the perioperative period may help reduce psychological distress in gynecologic cancer patients.
