Core Tip This study reveals that self-efficacy and post-traumatic growth play a significant chained mediating role in the relationship between illness perception and depression among colorectal cancer patients. By enhancing patients’ self-efficacy and fostering post-traumatic growth, healthcare providers can effectively mitigate depressive symptoms, offering a dual-target intervention strategy that combines cognitive restructuring with psychological resource development.
