Abstract
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to examine predicting the effect of stress, social support, self-efficacy, and resilience on psychological well-being in breast cancer survivors Materials and Methods: This predictive analysis for the descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted by the theoretical underpinning of resilience and population consisted of eligible breast cancer survivors receiving care at an outpatient clinic within a tertiary hospital setting. The data collecting was proceeded through self-administered questionnaires in line with convenient sampling. The analytical approach encompassed descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Results: Emanating from the study included the recruitment of 123 participants, with stress, social support, and resilience collectively elucidating 43% of the variance in psychological well-being among breast cancer survivors. Notably, resilience emerged as the most influential predictor (β=.33), followed by stress (β=-.27) and social support (β=.26), all of which significantly contributed to the prediction of psychological well-being. Conclusion: Resilience, stress, and social support were three predictors of psychological well-being among survivors of breast cancer in this study. Recommendations extend to the integration of strategies that foster resilience and social support, while concurrently mitigating stress levels through activities and programs aimed at augmenting the psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors in the future.
