| description | Background: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the sense of coherence and quality of life in women with breast cancer after chemotherapy.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 80 women with breast cancer who underwent chemotherapy were selected. The quality of life and sense of coherence were measures using the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Breast Cancer 23 (BR23) and the Sense of Coherence 13 (SOC13) questionnaires standardized, respectively. The correlation between them was measured using linear regression and Pearson correlation tests.
Findings: 11.3% of the participants had low, 73.8% had moderate, and 15% had high quality of life. 41.2% of participants had moderate coherence and 58.8% had a high degree of coherence. There was a direct and significant correlation between the sense of coherence and quality of life (0.7) (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: There is a direct and significant correlation between quality of life and sense of coherence in women with breast cancer; and it seems that supportive and psychological treatments can be effective in improving the quality of life of women with breast cancer. |
