Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the quality of life among 101 breast cancer women survivors using the results of the 2019-2020 National Health and Nutrition Survey. Data were analyzed using percentage, frequency analysis, average, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, bonferroni method, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 25.0. There were statistically significant differences in the quality of life results by age (F=6.151, p=.001), marital status (F=13.547, p=.001), education level (F=3.301, p=.021), and economic activity (t=2.400, p=.017) of demographic characteristics, and by health checkups (t=2.000, p=.046) and depression (t=-2.310, p=.022) of health characteristics. The quality of life was 0.93±0.12 points, the subjective health status was 3.19±0.80 points, the stress perception level was 2.90±0.85 points, and the body mass index was 24.09±3.53. The quality of life had a statistically significant correlation with subjective health status (r=-0.413, p<.001), body mass index (r=-0.247, p<.013). The quality of life increased in proportion to subjective health status, and the explanatory power was 46.8%.
