Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Fear of cancer recurrence among cancer survivors is a psychosocial concern that affects recovery and quality of life. They use complementary and alternative medicine to prevent the side effects of drugs and relieve anxiety and fear of cancer recurrence. This study aimed to examine the correlation between the use of complementary and alternative medicine and the fear of cancer recurrence in cancer survivors.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional descriptive correlational study enrolled 280 cancer survivors referred to oncology centers and medical offices in Kerman using convenience sampling. The research tools included complementary and alternative medicine questionnaire and the fear of cancer recurrence inventory. IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 was used to analyze the data.
UNASSIGNED: The study findings revealed that 78.2% of the participants used at least one type of complementary and alternative medicine in the last year; 71.8% used medicinal herbs, 19.6% used nutritional supplements, 7.5% used relaxation and meditation, 7.1% used dry cupping, and 5.7% used wet cupping. The mean score of fear of cancer recurrence was 80.72 ± 18.46, which was almost near the midpoint of the inventory score (84). The fear of cancer recurrence and its dimensions did not differ between users and nonusers of complementary and alternative medicine.
UNASSIGNED: Our results suggested that most of the survivors used at least one type of complementary and alternative medicine in the past year, and medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements were the most used types. Patients with cancer must be aware of the effects of different kinds of complementary and alternative medicine. A moderate level in the mean score of fear of cancer recurrence was found, and no difference was noted between users and nonusers of complementary and alternative medicine. Health managers and planners should conduct effective psychological interventions and strategies to minimize the fear of cancer recurrence among cancer survivors.

摘要：
癌症幸存者对癌症复发的恐惧是一种影响患者康复和生活质量的心理社会问题。他们使用补充和替代药物来预防药物的副作用，缓解焦虑和对癌症复发的恐惧。这项研究旨在检查使用补充和替代医学与癌症幸存者对癌症复发的恐惧之间的相关性。
■这项横断面描述性相关研究使用便利抽样，纳入了280名癌症幸存者，这些幸存者被转诊到Kerman的肿瘤中心和医疗办公室。研究工具包括补充和替代医学问卷以及对癌症复发的恐惧清单。IBMSPSSStatistics25版用于分析数据。
研究结果显示，去年有78.2%的参与者使用了至少一种补充和替代药物；71.8%的参与者使用了草药。19.6%使用营养补充剂，7.5%的人使用了放松和冥想，7.1%使用干拔罐，5.7%使用湿拔罐。对癌症复发的恐惧的平均评分为80.72±18.46，几乎接近库存评分的中点（84）。对癌症复发的恐惧及其规模在补充和替代医学的使用者和非使用者之间没有差异。
■我们的结果表明，大多数幸存者在过去一年中至少使用了一种补充和替代医学，草药和营养补充剂是最常用的类型。癌症患者必须意识到不同种类的补充和替代药物的作用。发现对癌症复发的恐惧的平均得分处于中等水平，补充和替代医学的使用者和非使用者之间没有差异。健康管理者和规划者应进行有效的心理干预和策略，以最大程度地减少癌症幸存者对癌症复发的恐惧。
