About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined psychological resilience and self-efficacy intervention in oesophageal cancer surgery patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is the combined psychological resilience and self-efficacy intervention program more effective than the single psychological resilience intervention in improving psychological resilience and self-efficacy and reducing anxiety and depression in patients undergoing oesophageal cancer surgery? Researchers will compare the combined psychological resilience and self-efficacy intervention program to the single psychological resilience intervention and routine care to see if the combined intervention can improve psychological resilience and self-efficacy and reduce anxiety and depression in oesophageal cancer surgery patients.
Participants will receive the combined psychological resilience and self-efficacy intervention program in the combined intervention group, the single psychological resilience intervention in the single intervention group and routine care in the control group.
