Core Tip
Core Tip: This study retrospectively analyzed 254 patients in perimenopause with cervical cancer to identify risk factors associated with depression. Results revealed that low monthly family income, initial disease onset, low social support, advanced pathological stage, high pain level, and poor sleep quality were significant risk factors. These findings highlighted the importance of addressing mental health in this vulnerable population and provided a basis for targeted clinical interventions to prevent depression.
