Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the chronic diseases that is closely related to psychological factors. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of perceived social support and self-compassion in the relationship between coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients (after mastectomy surgery).
Methodology: The research method was a correlational description. The statistical population of this study was women diagnosed with breast cancer and mastectomy who referred to the hospitals of Mazandaran province (Sari and Babol) for follow-up treatment. According to Klein (2014), the sample size of 480 people was selected purposefully. The research data collection tools were quality of life questionnaire (European Organization, 2006), coping strategies questionnaire (Lazarus Folkman, 2001), perceived social support questionnaire (Zimmet et al., 1988) and self-compassion questionnaire (Eris, 2000). To analyze the information obtained from structural regression equation modeling, SPSS22 and Amose 23 software were used.
Results: The results of the research showed that there is a relationship between coping styles mediated by perceived social support and self-compassion with quality of life in breast cancer patients. The lower limit of the confidence interval for the two variables of self-compassion and perceived social support as a mediating variable between coping styles and quality of life is 0.4687 and its upper limit is 0.6523.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is recommended to pay attention to variables of perceived social support, self-compassion, coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients.
