    The study analyzed care dependency trajectories in 223 gastric cancer patients post-laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

  • 2

    Four care dependency categories were identified: low dependency-stable, high dependency-increased, complete dependency-increased, and persistent dependency.

  • 3

    Key predictors of care dependency trajectories included psychological resilience, age, social support, time to ambulation, BMI, and albumin levels.

  • 4

    The study highlights the heterogeneity in recovery patterns, emphasizing the need for tailored nursing interventions.

  • 5

    Findings suggest that effective identification of care dependency trajectories can enhance patient care and reduce dependency levels.
