Abstract

This study evaluated the role of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation (MCER) in the association between anxiety, depression, and cancer-related-fatigue (CRF) in cancer patients. The findings revealed that MCER (Catastrophizing and rumination) mediated the relationship between anxiety, depression and CRF. The study highlighted the importance of assessing MCER in oncology management.
