Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-rating Depression Scale	through study completion, an average of 1 year	There are a total of 20 entries, of which 10 are scored by forward and 10 by reverse. The entries are scored by Likert4 level. The sum of the scores of each item is the total score of the scale. The scores were converted to a standard score: standard score = total anxiety score×1.25. The higher the score, the more serious the depression. A score ≤50 showed no depression, 50-59 showed mild depression, 60-69 showed moderate depression, and \>70 showed severe depression
Social Support Rating Scale	through study completion, an average of 1 year	The scale was with a total of 10 items, including three dimensions of subjective support, objective support and utilisation of support. The total score of the scale is the sum of the scores of the three dimensions, and the higher the score, the greater the social support. Judgement criteria: A total score of ≤22 indicates a low level, 23-44 indicates a moderate level, and 45-66 indicates a high level, with a domestic norm score of 34.56±3.73
Self-rating Anxiety Scale	through study completion, an average of 1 year	This involved 20 items, of which the 5th, 9th, 13th, 17th and 19th items were reverse scoring, and the 1-5 items were positive scoring. The items were scored according to Likert4 grade. The sum of the scores of each item is the total score of the scale. The scores were converted to a standard score: standard score = total anxiety score×1.25. The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety state. A score \<50 showed no anxiety, 50-59 showed mild anxiety, 60-69 showed moderate anxiety, and \>70 showed severe anxiety
Quality of Life Scale	through study completion, an average of 1 year	QLQ-C30 consists of one overall QOL scale and five functional scales. The functional scales include physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function and social function. Rating criteria: After the scores of each part of the scale are converted to standardised scores, and the score range is 0-100. The higher the score on the scale, the better the overall QOL and functional status
