Abstract:
ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the correlation between the psychological resilience and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.Methods From January 2012 through December 2013,80 breast cancer patients with adjuvant hormonal therapy were selected as object. The psychological resilience was assessed by Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale and the quality of life was assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B)at 1 month and 6 months after chemotherapy.The correlation between the psychological resilience and quality of life was assessed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results The total scores of psychological re-silience in breast cancer chemotherapy patients at 1 month and 6 months after chemotherapy were (45.72±8.44)and (49.35±8.27),which were significantly lower than (65.4±13.9)of the do-mestic norm (P <0.05).The scores of tenacity,self reliance and optimism in breast cancer chemotherapy patients were also lower than those of the domestic norm (P <0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the psychological resilience had positive correlations with physical dimension,social /family dimension,emotional dimension and functional dimension (P <0.05). Conclusion Psychological resilience in breast cancer chemotherapy patients is low,and it shows a positive correlation with quality of life.The strength of the resilience in breast cancer chemothera-py patients can help promote their quality of life.
