Methods: In a cross-sectional study conducted between September and October 2022, participation involved 260 patients diagnosed with breast cancer, selected through convenience sampling.

Conclusion: In this study, it was found that anxiety, depression, and unemployed respondents were associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing lower physical and mental HRQoL. Nurses and healthcare workers should prioritize addressing psychological issues such as anxiety and depression among breast cancer patients, emphasizing the necessity for interventions aimed at alleviating these concerns. }, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {263--273} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v13i3.54738}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/54738} }
