Core Tip	This study included 297 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer and investigated the correlations of anxiety and depression with psychological resilience and illness uncertainty while identifying influencing factors. Analyses of clinical data revealed that preoperative anxiety and depression correlated negatively with psychological resilience and positively with illness uncertainty. Forced expiratory volume in one second as a percentage of the predicted value < 70%, clinical staging, educational level, monthly household income, psychological resilience, and illness uncertainty independently influenced anxiety or depression development. Clinically, psychological interventions should be provided preoperatively for patients with these factors to enhance psychological resilience, reduce illness uncertainty, and relieve adverse emotional states.
