Core Tip This study reveals the interrelations between fear of dyspnea, anxiety, and depression in patients with mild ARDS through a structural equation model. Findings highlight that anxiety has both direct and indirect effects on dyspnea fear via depression, suggesting anxiety acts as a key mediator. Early identification and intervention for anxiety could reduce dyspnea-related psychological burden and improve recovery outcomes.
