Our study suggests that direct and indirect effects of resilience on depression and anxiety dominate in early periods (0-1 year) and long-term periods (over 1 year) following the cancer diagnosis, respectively. The findings indicate that comprehensive intervention considering both the direct effect of resilience in early stages (e.g., health education prescription and social support groups) and the indirect effects of illness cognition in long-term periods (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapies) are likely to yield the most favorable outcomes for cancer patients.
