Abstract：Objective To investigate the current levels of discomfort symptoms in esophageal cancer patients un-dergoing home rehabilitation after surgery and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 202 esophageal cancer patients who had been discharged for 6 months after surgery between July 2022 and July 2023 were selected for the study.The study utilized a general information questionnaire,the Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale for Gastrointestinal Symptoms,the Brief Resilience Scale,the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire,and the Chinese version of the Psychoso-cial Adjustment to Illness Scale.Results The discomfort symptom score of esophageal cancer patients during home reha-bilitation was 83.40±16.14.Pearson correlation analysis revealed that discomfort symptoms were positively correlated with disease adaptation and medical coping styles(P＜0.001),and negatively correlated with psychological resilience(P＜0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that pathological staging,disease adaptation,psychological re-silience,and medical coping styles were influencing factors for discomfort symptoms.Conclusion The level of discomfort symptoms in esophageal cancer patients undergoing home rehabilitation is moderate.Healthcare providers should imple-ment personalized nursing measures based on pathological staging,disease adaptation,psychological resilience,and medi-cal coping styles to reduce the discomfort of patients and improve their quality of life during postoperative home rehabilita-tion.
