Integrating psychological resilience into community health strategies: addressing stigma-induced social alienation in postoperative colorectal cancer patients.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of mortality globally. While survival rates have improved, postoperative patients face psychosocial challenges such as social alienation and stigma, which affect their recovery. Psychological resilience may serve as a protective factor, but its role in mediating the effects of stigma on social alienation in CRC patients is not well understood. Objective: This study aims to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between perceived stigma and social alienation among postoperative colorectal cancer patients. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 382 postoperative CRC patients from three tertiary hospitals in Harbin and Shenzhen, China, between January 2023 and December 2024. Participants completed self-report measures of perceived stigma, psychological resilience, and social alienation. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression and bootstrapping to test the mediation model. Result: Perceived stigma was positively correlated with social alienation and negatively with psychological resilience. Psychological resilience partially mediated the relationship between stigma and social alienation, explaining 30.8% of the total effect. Significant differences in social alienation were found based on gender, age, and stoma status. Conclusion: Psychological resilience plays a crucial role in reducing social alienation in postoperative CRC patients. Interventions focused on enhancing resilience could help mitigate stigma and improve social reintegration. Community-based resilience programs are recommended for supporting CRC survivors.
