Association between postoperative anxiety and depression symptoms and willingness for breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients

Figure 2 Comparison of standardized beta coefficients for factors influencing anxiety (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, blue) and depression (Self-Rating Depression Scale, orange) symptoms. Positive β values indicate risk factors, and negative β values indicate protective factors. Lymph node metastasis and comorbid chronic diseases were identified as risk factors, while employment status, bachelor’s degree or above, and urban residence were protective factors for both anxiety and depression (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale: F = 32.86, R² = 0.742; Self-Rating Depression Scale: F = 28.94, R² = 0.716).
