Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of group schema therapy on death anxiety and emotional turmoil in patients with breast cancer in Shiraz.
Method: The present study was quasi-experimental and of pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all patients referred to medical centers and hospitals in Shiraz from July to September 2019 diagnosed with breast cancer. Using the targeted sampling method, 50 women with breast cancer were selected and randomly assigned to 2 groups (control and experimental).

The control group did not receive any intervention; the questionnaires used in this research included Death Anxiety Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire. SPSS version 24 software and covariance analysis were used for data analysis.
