This study was conducted to examine mood state and quality of life (QOL) in patients who had undergone a mastectomy. The study used a descriptive design and was conducted in outpatient oncology clinics in northeastern Iran. Using the Profile of Mood States and the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index, the mood state and QOL of patients who had undergone a mastectomy were examined. The results indicate that participants had low mood state and QOL; in addition, a negative correlation was found between the two. The mood state was a predictor of participants' QOL. A screening system for patients who have undergone a mastectomy may help nurses evaluate patients' mood states, identify the symptoms of mood disturbances, and refer patients to the appropriate support services.
本研究旨在调查接受乳房切除术患者的情绪状态和生活质量（QOL）。该研究采用描述性设计，在伊朗东北部的门诊肿瘤诊所进行。使用情绪状态剖面图以及费兰斯和鲍尔斯生活质量指数，对接受乳房切除术患者的情绪状态和生活质量进行了调查。结果表明，参与者的情绪状态和生活质量较低；此外，两者之间存在负相关。情绪状态是参与者生活质量的一个预测指标。针对接受乳房切除术患者的筛查系统可能有助于护士评估患者的情绪状态，识别情绪障碍症状，并将患者转介至适当的支持服务机构。
