Core Tip
Core Tip: This research investigates anxiety and depression in relation to resilience and quality of life (QoL) in patients with kidney calculi, while exploring anxiety and depression contributors. We revealed an inverse connection between anxiety and depression in patients and their resilience and QoL. Low per capita monthly income (≤ 3500 yuan), poor resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale ≤ 55 points), and inferior life quality (General QoL Inventory-74 ≤ 45 points) increased the risk of developing both anxiety and depression in such patients. Further, complications and insufficient social support increased anxiety and depression risks, respectively.
