Relationship Between Type of Treatment and Resilience in Breast Cancer Patients

Breast Cancer, Breast Conservation Therapy, Types of Treatment, Resilience, Psychological
Description
The treatment undergone by patients causes various side effects that affect psychological and
resilience. Low resilience can impact the treatment process and, if left unchecked, can lead to higher
mortality rates due to cancer. High resilience indicates the ability to adapt well to the side effects of
ongoing treatment. This study aims to investigate the relationship between various types of treatments
and resilience in breast cancer patients. The study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional
method. Sample calculation using the Lemeshow proportion estimation formula resulted in 112
respondents selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, namely
breast cancer patients undergoing treatment: surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone
therapy at Kemenkes RS Persahabatan. Respondent characteristics were assessed using observation
sheets, and resilience was measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC 25). All
variables in this study are categorical; thus, chi-square analysis and, for contingency tables larger than
2x2 with expected frequencies less than 5, Fisher's exact test were applied. The results of this study
showed a significant relationship between the type of treatment and resilience in breast cancer patients,
with a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05). Similarly, one of the respondent characteristics based on cancer stage
showed a significant relationship with resilience (p = 0.016). Breast cancer patients undergoing
treatment showed very high resilience levels, which were estimated based on age, duration of
treatment, marital status, education level, and cancer stage. Breast cancer patients undergoing
treatment require support during their chosen or ongoing treatment to maintain high resilience.
