乳腺癌是全球女性中最常见的癌症类型，在发达国家尤为如此。被诊断出患有乳腺癌并接受癌症治疗可能是一个非常有压力的事件。据估计，三分之一的癌症患者正在应对心理问题，如焦虑和抑郁，而心理韧性是应对和克服诸如癌症诊断等生活压力源的一种方式。目的：本研究的目的是检查被诊断患有乳腺癌的女性的心理韧性及其与抑郁和焦虑的关联。方法：进行了一项横断面研究，144名被诊断患有乳腺癌的女性回答了一份由四个部分组成的问卷：社会人口统计学数据、患者健康问卷两项抑郁量表、广泛性焦虑障碍问卷和康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表25。结果：大多数样本属于51 - 60岁年龄组，平均年龄为53.5±11.7岁。59.5%的患者是城市居民，56.8%已婚，36.5%有两个孩子。CD - RISC25的平均值为65.3±17.9，这意味着癌症患者具有中等心理韧性。54.5%的受访者表示有抑郁情绪。用GAD - 2测量的焦虑严重程度，平均值为2.1，46.8%的患者患有高度焦虑。结论：根据我们的结果，心理韧性可能对抑郁症状有负面影响。此外，较低水平的抑郁可能导致较少的焦虑症状。
