Methods From January to March 2010, 64 patients who were diagnosed to have colorectal cancer and received therapeutic operations were investigated with self-rating depressive scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-made related questionnaire respectively. Psychological assessment and medical records gathering were also carried out. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS 13.0. Results The total score of SDS (47.02±10.38) and SAS (42.42±7.96) of the 64 patients were both higher than those of the general population (Plt;0.001). The incidence rate of depression and anxiety was 42.2% and 20.3% respectively. Patients without stoma had lower SDS scores than those with stoma (P=0.004); patients undergoing Miles operation had higher SDS scores than those receiving non-fistula formation radical operations (P=0.039); patients receiving palliative treatment had higher SDS scores than those receiving non-fistula formation radical operations (P=0.007); patients with family monthly income less than 1 000 RMB had higher SDS scores than those with more than 3 000 RMB and between 1 001-3 000 RMB (P=0.017, 0.040). SAS scores among different patients were not significantly different (Pgt;0.05). SDS had positive correlation with SAS (Plt;0.001). Conclusions Patients with colorectal cancer have higher emotions of anxiety and depression after operation than those in the general population. It is suggested that more psychological consultation, treatment and nursing should be carried out to promote the overall physical and mental rehabilitation of the patients, especially for those having undergone stoma formation, late-stage patients and those with a low income.
