Abstract：
Aims/Background Trait emotional intelligence is associated with anxiety and depression symptoms and quality of life in cancer patients. However, studies on the relationship of trait emotional intelligence with anxiety, depression, and quality of life in gastric cancer patients are limited. This study investigates the relationship of trait emotional intelligence with depression and quality of life in gastric cancer patients to provide a theoretical basis for clinical management. Methods A total of 270 patients with gastric cancer treated in our hospital from July 2020 to July 2023 were selected, of which 31 patients with missing questionnaire entries and missed visits were screened out, resulting in the enrolment of 239 gastric cancer patients in this study. In this survey, self-administered general information questionnaires, namely Trait Emotional Intelligence Short Form (TEIQue-SF), European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used. Results TEIQue-SF total scores were positively correlated with QLQ-C30 scores (p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with HADS-A and HADS-D scores (p < 0.001). TEIQue-SF total score was a superior positive predictor of the QLQ-C30 score (β = 0.412, p < 0.001) and a superior negative predictor of the HADS score (β = -0.740, p < 0.001). TEIQue-SF total score (β = 0.141, p = 0.006) and HADS score (β = -0.665, p < 0.001) were good predictors of QLQ-C30 score. The direct effect of TEIQue-SF total score on QLQ-C30 score was 0.141, while HADS score between TEIQue-SF total score and QLQ-C30 score had a mediated effect value of 0.492. Conclusion Trait emotional intelligence not only directly affects the quality of life, but also indirectly affects the quality of life through anxiety and depression. Clinicians should pay attention to the anxiety, depression, and emotional intelligence of patients with gastric cancer to help them improve their quality of life.
摘要：
目的/背景特质情绪智力与癌症患者的焦虑和抑郁症状以及生活质量相关。然而,关于特质情绪智力与焦虑关系的研究，抑郁症,胃癌患者的生活质量有限。本研究探讨胃癌患者特质情绪智力与抑郁情绪及生活质量的关系,为临床管理提供理论依据。方法选取2020年7月至2023年7月我院收治的270例胃癌患者,其中筛选出31例问卷缺失和漏诊的患者，结果纳入了239名胃癌患者。在这次调查中,自我管理的一般信息问卷，即特质情绪智力简称(TEIQue-SF)，欧洲癌症研究和治疗组织的生活质量问卷-核心30（EORTCQLQ-C30），使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HADS）。结果TEIQue-SF总分与QLQ-C30得分呈正相关(p<0.001),与HADS-A、HADS-D得分呈负相关(p<0.001)。TEIQue-SF总分是QLQ-C30评分的阳性预测因子(β=0.412,p<0.001)和HADS评分的阴性预测因子(β=-0.740,p<0.001)。TEIQue-SF总分（β=0.141，p=0.006）和HADS评分（β=-0.665，p<0.001）是QLQ-C30评分的良好预测因子。TEIQue-SF总分对QLQ-C30评分的直接影响为0.141,而TEIQQUE-SF总分与QLQ-C30评分之间的HADS评分的介导效应值为0.492。结论特质情绪智力不仅直接影响生活质量,但也通过焦虑和抑郁间接影响生活质量。临床医生应该注意焦虑，抑郁症,提高胃癌患者的生活质量。
