Abstract：Objective To analyze the potential categories and influencing factors of fear of cancer recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods A total of 205 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were investigated using the general information questionnaire,Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form,Social Constraint Scale,and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire.Latent profile analysis was used to establish a latent category model of fear of cancer recurrence in two groups of non-small cell lung cancer patients.Binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of the latent classes of fear of cancer recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer patients.Results Patients with non-small cell lung cancer were divided into a low-level cancer recurrence fear group(44.39%)and a high-level cancer recurrence fear group(55.61%).Low educational level,low per capita monthly family income,high social constraint,and high disease perception were the influencing factors of cancer recurrence fear.Conclusion The fear of cancer recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer is at a high level,with significant individual differences.Medical staff can formulate targeted interven-tion measures according to the characteristics of different categories of cancer recurrence fear in patients to reduce their level of fear of cancer recurrence.
