Disease Uncertainty in Patients with Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a chronic disease, which will produce uncertainty, affects the overall health and damages the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this relevant, quantitative and cross-sectional study was to link the degree of uncertainty in patients with breast cancer based on sociodemographic and diagnostic variables. For convenience, 61 participants were sampled. Sociodemographic data questionnaire and Michelle Uncertainty Scale were used. Data processing and analysis were conducted by SPSS19, and the relationship between variables was tested by Chi Square test. Majority of the population in the study was between the ages of 50 and 69. 62% of people have regular uncertainty. The degree of uncertainty of the study population is related to the level of education and the time of diagnosis.
