“…The optimal cut‐off score of the DT can range from 3–7, as concluded in studies of different cancer types in different countries and regions (Bulli, Miccinesi, Maruelli, Katz, & Paci, ; Deng et al., ; Dolbeault et al., ; Fang et al., ; Goebel & Mehdorn, ; Hong, ; Iskandarsyah et al., ; Ma et al., ; Martínez, Galdón, Andreu, & Ibáñez, ; Shim, Shin, Jeon, & Hahm, ; Tang et al., ; Wang et al., , ). However, most studies showed that the optimal cut‐off score is 4, which agrees well with the recommended value in NCCN's distress management Guidelines (NCCN ).…”

“…Most researchers in mainland China translate it as “XinLiTongKu” (Deng, Zhong, & Jiang, ; Tang, Zhang, Pang, Zhang, & Song, ; Wang, Zou, Jiang, Wei, & Jiang, ; Zhang & Tang, ); this translation has also been employed in two Chinese textbooks: Oncology (Wei & He, ) and Psycho‐oncology (Tang & Wang, ), which are targeted for medical students and medical professionals. However, others including researchers in Taiwan translate it as “KunRao” (Hong, ; Wang et al., ); this translation has been adopted by the NCCN in its Chinese version of the Distress Management thermometer (NCCN ). The reliability and validity of the two DT translations, namely the XinLiTongKu Thermometer (DT‐X) and the KunRao Thermometer (DT‐K), have likewise been verified among Chinese patients with cancer (Tang et al., ; Wang et al., ).…”

“…The type of cancer present in each sample was highly variable, with some studies selecting people with a specific diagnosis: hematological [ 28 ], gynecologic [ 30 ], non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma [ 26 ], colorectal [ 41 ], gastrointinal [ 45 ], and bladder [ 46 ]; and others including any type of cancer [ 27 , 29 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. Despite this variability, breast/gynecological, gastrointestinal, and colorectal cancers were the most represented, with 20.9%, 17.7% and 16.4%, respectively.…”

This study presents a systematic review of the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors associated with distress in elderly cancer patients. Relevant studies were identified using four electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and ProQuest. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies exploring factors associated with distress in people over 60 years of age were included and independently assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Assessment Checklists. A total of 20 studies met the inclusion criteria. Research showed that being a woman, being single, divorced or widowed, having low income, having an advanced diagnosis, having functional limitations, having comorbidities, and having little social support were factors consistently associated with emotional distress. Data further showed that the impact of age, cancer type, and cancer treatment on symptoms of anxiety and/or depression in elderly patients is not yet well established. The findings of this review suggest that the emotional distress of elderly cancer patients depends on a myriad of factors that are not exclusive, but coexisting determinants of health. Future research is still needed to better understand risk factors for distress in this patient population, providing the resources for healthcare providers to better meet their needs.

“…In the past, the quality of a certain surgical method mainly relied on the survival rate of patients after surgery, tumor recurrence rate, the number of lymph nodes removed, and the scope of tumor intestinal resection, while less consideration was given to the happiness or pain of the operation itself. Studies have reported (3)(4)(5) that about one-third of cancer patients experience severe anxiety and depression. As a key component of positive psychology (6), psychological resilience is considered to be the psychological and behavioral response of the subject to the changed environment (7).…”

Background: Colon cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. This cancer and the related treatments bring a raft of lasting physiological and psychological impacts to patients.This study explored the effects of attention and interpretation therapy (AIT) on improving psychological resilience, cancer-related fatigue (CRF), and negative emotions in patients after colon cancer surgery.Methods: Patients who had undergone colon cancer surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University were selected and randomly allocated into an experimental group and a control group, each with 100 cases. Patients in the control group received routine intervention measures, while the experimental group received an extra 10 weeks of AIT. Before and after 10 weeks of intervention, the effects of intervention were evaluated using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Selfrating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS-R).Results: Before the intervention, there was no statistical difference between the scores of psychological resilience, CRF, and negative emotions between the two groups (P>0.05). We compared the scores before and after the 10 weeks of intervention and found that the scores of psychological resilience of the experimental group were higher than before, and the scores of CRF and negative emotion were lower than before. After the intervention, the psychological resilience score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, the CRF and negative emotions scores were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions: AIT can effectively strengthen the psychological resilience of patients after colon cancer surgery to a certain extent, reduce anxiety and depression, reduce the degree of CRF, and thus improve the patients' quality of life postoperatively.
