Regression analysis identified lower social support, longer cancer duration, lack of health insurance, and psychiatric comorbidities as predictors of higher risk.

Holistic support addressing both risk and protective factors is critical. Oncology nurses are pivotal in early risk detection and psychosocial support. Empathetic, patient-centered care, reinforcing protective factors, and integrating structured psychological interventions enhance resilience, reduce suicide risk, and improve quality of life.

Despite previous research indicating significant correlations between social isolation, depression, health-promoting lifestyles, and frailty, the mechanisms of interaction remain unclear.
