Abstract：Objective To evaluate the mediating effect of family function on psychological distress and coping style in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury.Methods A total of 234 patients with ACL injury admitted of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital,Capital Medical University,from June 2020 to June 2022 were selected.Family Caring Index(APGAR)was used to assess family function and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale(K10)was used to assess the de-gree of psychological distress.Simplified coping style questionnaire(SCSQ)was used to evaluate the coping styles of pa-tients.The mediating effect of family function on psychological distress and coping style in patients with ACL injury.Results A total of 234 questionnaires were sent out and 230 were effectively collected,the effective recovery was 98.29％.APGAR score of patients with ACL injury was negatively correlated with psychological distress score and SCSQ negative coping score(r=-0.513,-0.395,P＜0.05),positively correlated with SCSQ positive coping score(r=0.432,P＜0.05),psychological distress score was positively correlated with SCSQ negative coping score(r=0.407,P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with SCSQ positive coping score(r=-0.396,P＜0.05).Psychological distress score had a negative predictive effect on SCSQ positive coping score(β=-0.511),and a positive predictive effect on SCSQ negative coping score(β=0.435).When APGAR score was increased,the effect of psychological distress score on SCSQ negative coping score and SCSQ positive coping score decreased(β changed from-0.511 and 0.435 to-0.306 and 0.311),suggesting that family function had a partial mediating effect between psychological distress and coping style.Conclusion Family function partially mediates psychological distress and coping style in patients with ACL injury.Estab-lishing good family function is helpful to improve psychological distress and coping style.
