Objective To explore the development of health literacy in patients undergoing radical resection of rectal cancer, and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for future targeted intervention. Methods A total of 256 patients who underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, between November 2021 and November 2024 were selected as the research subjects. They were surveyed using the general information questionnaire, the health literacy management scale, the strategies used by people to promote health and the social support rating scale. Moreover, the influencing factors of the differences in development trajectories were analyzed. Results The health literacy development of patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer can be classified into four categories: medium literacy-improvement type (39.5%), low literacy-maintenance type(15.2%), high literacy-good type(20.3%), and low literacy-improvement type(25.0%). The Logistic regression analysis showed educational level, per capita monthly income of the family, place of abode, postoperative complications, continuous nursing, self-efficacy, and social support level were independent influencing factors for the differences in the development trajectory of health literacy among such patients(all P<0.05). Conclusion There is group heterogeneity in the development of health literacy among patients after radical resection of colorectal cancer. Therefore, medical staff should formulate corresponding intervention measures to improve their health literacy.

Objective To explore the current status of emotional suppression in postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for postoperative rehabilitation. Methods By using the convenience sampling method, 182 patients undergoing laryngeal cancer surgery in Fujian Cancer Hospital between December 2023 and March 2025 were selected as the research subjects, and surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the emotional inhibition scale, the voice fatigue index, the perceived social support scale, and the fear of progression questionnaire-short form. Results The total score of emotional suppression in patients after laryngeal cancer surgery was (29.12±5.77) points, positively correlated with the scores of voice avoidance and physical symptoms in voice fatigue (r=0.487, P<0.001; r=0.403, P<0.001), but negatively correlated with that of symptom improvement after rest (r= 0.448, P<0.001). Moreover, multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, frequency of social activities, fear of recurrence, level of social support, voice avoidance, physical symptoms and improvement after rest were the independent influencing factors (R²=0.564, adjusted R²=0.542,F=24.753, P<0.001). Conclusion The emotional suppression of patients after laryngeal cancer surgery is at a moderately high level and affected by multiple factors. It is recommended to strengthen voice training and psychological support during postoperative rehabilitation to improve the quality of life of patients.
