Objective: to evaluate factors associated with quality of life in breast cancer patients. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study involving 82 patients. Quality of life was calculated with WHQOL-BREF and the associated factors were determined using a binary logistic regression model. Results: 73.1% rated quality of life at least as good. The physical sphere was the most affected (65.1 ± 15.9), while the environment was the least affected (78.2 ± 14.2). The variables that explain the deterioration of the quality of life were: age <50 years, diagnosis of advanced cancer upon admission to the benefit plan management (EAPB), while protective variables were satisfaction with the service and hormonal therapy. Conclusion: it becomes necessary to emphasize and to create a better satisfaction with the service in women under fifty and those who were admitted to the program with an advanced diagnosis. |
