Purpose:
To explore the application effect of the IDEAS model combined with supportive psychotherapy in da Vinci robot-assisted preoperative visits for radical cancer surgery.
Design:
Randomized controlled clinical trial.
Methods:
Seventy patients who underwent robotic radical cancer surgery between May 2024 and May 2025 were selected as the study subjects and were randomly divided into 35 cases each in the experimental group and the control group. The control group conducted routine preoperative visits, and the experimental group implemented the IDEAS model combined with supportive psychotherapy on the basis of routine visits. The anxiety and depression scores, quality of life, and physiological stress indicators of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention.
Findings:
After the intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those before the intervention, and the scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P < .001); the quality of life was higher than that of the control group (P < .05), and the physiological indicators of the experimental group were more stable than those of the control group (P < .001).
Conclusions:
IDEAS model combined with supportive psychotherapy can not only reduce the preoperative physiological stress, anxiety, and depression level of patients undergoing da Vinci robot-assisted radical cancer surgery, but also improve the patients' quality of life.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
