Objective: To investigate the mediating effect of resilience on perceived social support and fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in glioma patients. Methods: A total of 128 glioma patients were enrolled for the survey by Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), perceived social support scale (PSSS) and Chinese version of fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF). Structural equation model was used to analyze the effects of resilience. Results: The score of FCR in glioma patients was 29.52±8.30. A total of 47 patients had FCR (total score ≥34), with an incidence of 36.7%. There was a correlation between FCR, resilience and social support (P<0.01). The resilience between perceived social support and FCR in glioma patients had good fitting with the structural equation model. Resilience played a mediating role between perceived social support and FCR, with a mediating effect of 48.4%. Conclusion: The level of resilience can be improved by improving the perceived social support in patients with glioma to reduce the FCR of patients.
