Education level, mental support, and disease knowledge in relation to adaptability in adult outpatient chemotherapy patients with malignant tumors - a cross‑sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To evaluate the adaptability status of outpatient chemotherapy patients with malignant tumors and identify influencing factors, providing a foundation for developing personalized intervention strategies. This study employed a convenience sampling method to select patients undergoing daytime chemotherapy at a tertiary cancer hospital in Sichuan Province between October and December 2024. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Outpatient Malignant Tumor Patient Adaptability Scale. Statistical analysis, including univariate and multivariate regression, was conducted using SPSS 26.0. A total of 300 patients were included.The overall adaptability score of the patients was 113.22 ± 13.14, indicating a moderate level of adaptability. Univariate analysis revealed that factors such as age, education level, place of residence, employment status, monthly household income, payment method for medical expenses, chemotherapy cycles, type of mental support, disease care knowledge, and attitude toward the disease significantly influenced adaptability (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis identified education level (β = 1.182, P = 0.019), type of mental support (β = 2.672, P = 0.003), disease care knowledge (β = 10.466, P < 0.001), and attitude toward the disease (β=-9.079, P < 0.001) as key determinants of adaptability. The adaptability of outpatient chemotherapy patients with malignant tumors is influenced by multiple demographic, social, and clinical factors. Enhancing patient education, providing diverse mental support, improving disease knowledge, and fostering positive attitudes are crucial to improving adaptability. These findings can inform the development of targeted interventions to enhance the quality of life and treatment outcomes for cancer patients.
