We used SPSS 26.0 to analyse the data and employed PROCESS v4.1 for the mediating effect test.Results: The incidence of anxiety in DR patients was approximately 53.63%, with psychological resilience (CD-RISC-10 average=27.51± 8.32) and perceived stress (PSS-10 average=15.97± 6.54). Anxiety was negatively correlated with psychological resilience (r=− 0.569, P< 0.01) and positively correlated with perceived stress (r=0.638, P< 0.01). Additionally, psychological resilience was negatively correlated with perceived stress (r=− 0.681, P< 0.01). Perceived stress had a positive predictive effect on anxiety (total effect = − 0.327, 95% bootstrap CI = − 0.363 to − 0.291), and it played a mediating role in the relationship between psychological resilience and anxiety, with a mediating effect size of 54.13%.Conclusion: Psychological resilience and perceived stress directly or indirectly affect anxiety, Perceived stress moderates the relationship between psychological resilience and anxiety as a mediating variable. By analyzing this psychological mechanism, this study provides a new perspective for applying psychology to chronic diseases and a scientific basis for medical staff to develop targeted psychological intervention measures.Keywords: diabetic retinopathy, perceived stress, psychological resilience, mediating effect
