CONTEXT
Fear of cancer recurrence (FOCR) is one of the most important psychological problems among cancer patients. In extensive review of related literature there were no articles on FOCR among Iranian cancer patients.
AIM
The aim of present study was to investigation FOCR and its predictive factors among Iranian cancer patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this descriptive-correlational study 129 cancer patients participated. For data collection, the demographic checklist and short form of fear of progression questionnaire was used. Logistic regression was used to determine predictive factors of FOCR.
RESULT
Mean score of FOCR among participants was 44.8 and about 50% of them had high level of FOCR. The most important worries of participants were about their family and the future of their children and their lesser worries were about the physical symptoms and fear of physical damage because of cancer treatments. Also, women, breast cancer patient, and patients with lower level of education have more FOCR.
DISCUSSION
There is immediate need for supportive care program designed for Iranian cancer patients aimed at decreasing their FOCR. Especially, breast cancer patients and the patient with low educational level need more attention.
背景
癌症复发恐惧（FOCR）是癌症患者中最重要的心理问题之一。在对相关文献的广泛综述中，未发现有关伊朗癌症患者FOCR的文章。
目的
本研究的目的是调查伊朗癌症患者的FOCR及其预测因素。
材料与方法
在这项描述性相关性研究中，129名癌症患者参与其中。为收集数据，使用了人口统计学清单和恐惧进展问卷简表。采用逻辑回归确定FOCR的预测因素。
结果
参与者中FOCR的平均得分为44.8，约50%的人有较高水平的FOCR。参与者最主要的担忧是关于他们的家庭和孩子的未来，而较少的担忧是关于身体症状以及对癌症治疗导致身体损伤的恐惧。此外，女性、乳腺癌患者和教育程度较低的患者有更多的癌症复发恐惧。
讨论
迫切需要为伊朗癌症患者设计支持性护理计划，以降低他们的癌症复发恐惧。特别是，乳腺癌患者和低教育水平的患者需要更多关注。
