Analysis of the Correlation between Stigma and Psychological Resilience and Quality of Life in Patients with Breast Cancer after Surgery
Objective:To analyze the correlation between stigma,psychological resilience and quality of life in patients with breast canc-er after operation.Methods:112 breast cancer patients admitted from May 1,2021 to May 1,2022 were selected as the research objects.The Social Impact Scale(SIS)was used to investigate the stigma of patients,and the social adaptation questionnaire on breast cancer psychologi-cal state and European Organization for Reseach and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30)were used to assess the psychological resilience and quality of life of patients.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between stigma,psychological resilience and quality of life.Results:The scores of each item and total SIS of the patients were higher than those of the do-mestic norm(P<0.01).The SIS score of patients aged 20 to 45 years old,education level below senior high school,nulliparous and the em-ployed was higher than that of those patients aged 46 to 65 years old,education level above senior high school,parous women and the re-tired(P<0.01).Age,education level,working status and fertility status were the influencing factors of stigma in patients with breast cancer after surgery(P<0.05).The scores of each dimension and total score of the Breast Cancer Psychosocial Adaptation Questionnaire and EORTC QLQ-C30 were lower than those of the domestic norm(P<0.01).There was a negative correlation between the total SIS score and psychosocial resilience and EORTC QLQ-C30(P<0.01).Conclusion:There is a significant stigma in patients with breast cancer after sur-gery.Age,education level,working status and fertility status are closely related to the stigma of patients.The stronger the stigma of patients is,the worse their psychological resilience and quality of life becomes.It is necessary to perform the planned health education and psycho-logical guidance to reduce the postoperative stigma of patients.
