Core Tip	To establish a psychological intervention program for fear of cervical cancer recurrence and ease patients’ postoperative psychological stress, 13 experts revised the draft through literature review and group discussion, with pre-experiments for further refinement. The program was then tested on 80 cervical cancer patients. Results showed high expert authority and consistency. The study group exhibited lower fear of recurrence and psychological distress scores, and higher quality of life and social support scores than the control group. This program, considering individual differences and expert advice, is scientifically and practically sound for improving patients’ quality of life.
