Objective To analyze the relationship between mindfulness level,disease uncertainty and fear of cancer recur-rence(FCR)in patients after cervical cancer surgery.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 193 patients who underwent cervical cancer surgery in 908th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force and Jiangxi Cancer Hospital between January 2020 and June 2023.According to presence or absence of FCR,they were divided into FCR group(n=103)and non-FCR group(n=90).The postoperative mindfulness level and disease uncertainty were compared between the two groups.The relationship between mindfulness level,disease uncertainty and FCR was analyzed.The risk factors of FCR were analyzed by Logisitic regression analysis.Results The mindfulness level in FCR group was lower than that in non-FCR group,and scores of disease uncertainty were higher than those in non-FCR group.The mindfulness level was negatively cor-related with FCR,while disease uncertainty was positively correlated with FCR.Logisitic regression analysis showed that age,marital relationship,education level,medical payment type,economic income,cancer staging,disease uncertainty and mind-fulness level were risk factors of FCR in patients with cervical cancer.Conclusion FCR is positively correlated with disease uncertainty,while negatively correlated with mindfulness level in patients undergoing cervical cancer surgery.The disease un-certainty and mindfulness level are risk factors of FCR.
