Abstract：Objective To investigate the status of demoralization syndrome in patients with colorectal cancer and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods A total of 300 patients with colorectal cancer were selected and investigated by sampling method,the general data questionnaire,everyday dis-crimination scale(EDS),emotion regulation questionnaire(ERQ)and demoralization scale Ⅱ(DS-Ⅱ)was used to investigate.Results The EDS score of 300 patients with colorec-tal cancer was 34.00(28.00,37.00),the cognitive reappraisal strategy score of ERQ was 29.00(22.00,35.00),the ex-pression suppression strategy score was 20.00(10.00,24.00)and the score of DS-Ⅱ was 9.00(5.00,15.75).Among them,123(41.00％)patients were mildly demoralized,130(43.30％)patients were moderately demoralized,and 47(15.70％)patients were in a state of severe demoralization.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender,EDS score,cognitive reappraisal strategy score and expression suppression strategy score entered the regression equation,which could explain 35.30％of the variation of demoralization syndrome in colorectal cancer patients.Conclusion The demoralization syndrome of colorectal cancer patients is serious,and the proportion of patients in moder-ate and severe demoralization is relatively high.Medical staff should focus on female patients,reduce the level of per-ceived discrimination of patients through corresponding intervention measures,help patients choose appropriate emotional regulation strategies,so as to reduce the level of demoralization syndrome of patients and improve their quality of life.
