Abstract：Objective:To explore the current status of physical resilience(PR)in elderly patients with cancer pain and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using convenience sampling method,195 hospitalized elderly patients with chronic cancer pain were selected from a tertiary A tumor specialist hospital in Fujian province from April 2023 to April 2024.The participants were investigated using a general information questionnaire,Physical Resilience Instrument for Older Adults(PRIFOR),the Barthel Index(BI),the Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS),and Pain Catastrophizing Scale(PCS).Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to identify influencing factors of PR in elderly patients with cancer pain.Results:The total PRIFOR score of elderly patients with cancer pain was(42.34±11.03),which was at a moderately low level.PRIFOR score was positively correlated with BI(r=0.588,P<0.001)and SSRS score(r=0.369,P<0.001),and negatively correlated with PCS score(r=-0.205,P=0.004).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that fall risk,average pain intensity,activities of daily living(ADL)ability,social support,and pain catastrophizing level were influencing factors of PR in elderly patients with cancer pain(P<0.05).Conclusions:The overall PR level of elderly patients with cancer pain is relatively low,influenced by physiological,psychological,and social factors.In cancer pain nursing,attention should be paid to ADL training,pain catastrophizing intervention,and strengthening of social support to enhance patients'resilience and quality of life.
