Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Psychology
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Breast cancer incidence is high and rising globally, impacting millions annually.
  • Patients often experience negative emotions like anxiety, affecting their quality of life (QoL).
  • Understanding psychological factors is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between mental resilience, QoL, and anxiety in breast cancer patients.
  • To analyze the mediating role of anxiety in the association between resilience and QoL.

Main Methods:

  • A convenience sample of 200 breast cancer patients was recruited.
  • Validated scales were used: Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and EORTC QLQ-C30.
  • Statistical analysis explored correlations and mediation effects.

Main Results:

  • Patients exhibited low mental resilience, mild anxiety, and moderate QoL.
  • Anxiety was negatively correlated with both mental resilience (r = -0.275) and QoL (r = -0.289).
  • Mental resilience positively correlated with QoL (r = 0.513), with anxiety mediating 8.58% of this effect.

Conclusions:

  • Anxiety acts as a significant mediator between mental resilience and QoL in breast cancer patients.
  • Interventions aimed at reducing anxiety can enhance mental resilience and improve QoL.
  • Healthcare providers should focus on psychological support to improve patient well-being.
