Background: Medication-taking behavior, resilience, and psychological distress are important concerns across the cancer care continuum. Objective: To examine their cross-sectional relationships and describe an exploratory, post hoc indirect-effect model. Methods: A purposive sample of 180 adults receiving oncology care at a single Egyptian center completed measures reported as the MMAS-8, K10, and RS-13. Available regression results were summarized without causal interpretation. Results: Moderate medication adherence was reported in 73.3% of participants, moderate-to-severe distress in 45.6%, and high resilience in 98.9%. Adherence was not associated with resilience (B = 0.4063, p = 0.307) or distress when resilience was included (B = 0.1209, p = 0.676). Resilience was inversely associated with distress (B = −0.1514, p = 0.006). The exploratory indirect-effect estimate was −0.0615 (95% CI −0.1941 to 0.0368), providing no statistical support for an indirect association. Conclusions: Resilience and distress were inversely associated in this cross-sectional sample. Medication adherence was not significantly associated with either construct in the reported unadjusted model.
