Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), comprising subscales for anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). Coping styles were evaluated using the Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS-60), comprising dimensions such as confrontive, evasive, optimistic, fatalistic, emotive, palliative, supportive, and self-reliant. Illness uncertainty was measured using the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), encompassing ambiguity, complexity, information deficit, and unpredictability.

Anxiety (HADS-A ≥ 8) was present in 39.5% of patients, depression (HADS-D ≥ 8) in 41.0%, and both in 14.0%. Anxiety was significantly positively correlated with ambiguity, unpredictability, and total MUIS score (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Depression was significantly positively correlated with ambiguity, information deficit, unpredictability, and total MUIS score (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Most patients adopted an optimistic coping style, whereas the emotive style was least utilized.
