To explore associations of negative emotions with alexithymia and intrusive thoughts in cancer patients. Methods: A total of 115 cancer patients were assessed by Impact of Event Scale-Revised, the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the state anxiety subscales of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: Negative emotions were positively correlated with alexithymia and the intrusive thoughts (r 0.251 to 0.600, P<0.01). Intrusive thoughts were significantly associated with the total score of alexithymia, difficulty in identifying feelings, and difficulty in describing feelings (r 0.261 to 0.430, P<0.01). The relation between alexithymia and negative emotions was partially mediated by intrusive thoughts, accounting for 40.71% of the alexithymia in total negative emotions. Conclusion: Intrusive thoughts play a role, at least partially in mediation of alexithymia and negative emotions.
探讨癌症患者负面情绪与述情障碍及侵入性思维之间的关联。方法：采用事件影响量表修订版、20项多伦多述情障碍量表、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表以及状态-特质焦虑量表的状态焦虑分量表对115例癌症患者进行评估。结果：负面情绪与述情障碍及侵入性思维呈正相关（r = 0.251至0.600，P<0.01）。侵入性思维与述情障碍总分、识别情感困难及描述情感困难显著相关（r = 0.261至0.430，P<0.01）。述情障碍与负面情绪之间的关系部分由侵入性思维介导，占负面情绪中述情障碍的40.71%。结论：侵入性思维至少部分介导了述情障碍与负面情绪之间的关系。
