dc.description.abstractThe fear of death associated with cancer and the side effects of its treatments can have a detrimental psychological impact on breast cancer patients. Early detection and support services play a crucial role in alleviating the expected symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. The objective of our study is to assess the levels of depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction in breast cancer patients, as well as identify the factors that influence these conditions. The study involved 329 voluntarily participating breast cancer patients who had undergone surgery and were in the follow-up stage. Data were collected from 8 different centers after obtaining ethical approval. The assessment utilized tools such as the Sociodemographic Information Form, Beck Depression and Anxiety Scale, and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20. The study included 329 breast cancer patients in the follow-up stage post-surgery. Their average age was 52.7 years (range: 27-83). Results indicated that 33.1% experienced moderate to severe depression, 18.2% reported severe anxiety, and 82.7% scored above 11 on the sexual scale. Factors linked to higher scores were mastectomy, surgical dissatisfaction, insufficient information on sexual side effects, and comorbidities like smoking and diabetes. The study emphasizes the importance of closely monitoring anxiety, depression levels, and sexual side effects in breast cancer treatment. It underscores the need to focus not only on reducing mortality rates but also on supporting patients' psychological and sexual well-being, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.en_US
