Methods: Sixty-two patients with maxillofacial tumor were administered with the SAS, SDS and SCL-90 for pre-post operative comparisons. Results: There were significant differences in the scores of SAS, SDS and SCL-90, but no significant differences was found in the SCL-90 anxiety subscale. When comparing patients below and above the age of 50, there were significant differences in SAS score, as well as the somatization and obsessive-compulsive scales of SCL-90. Patients with malignant tumors were found to be more depressed before and after operation than patients with benign tumors. Conclusion:Patients with oral maxillofacial tumor experience significant anxiety before and after operation. Patients with malignant tumors experience more severe depression than patients with benign tumors.展开更多
