Abstract

Introduction: Hope and Happiness are the components that affect the quality of life of cancer patients. The present study aimed to assess the relationship of Spousal support with Hope and Happiness in women with Breast cancer. Methods: This correlational cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 married women with Breast cancer who were referred to selected centers of the Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2022. Following continuous sampling, the demographic characteristics questionnaire, Snyder's Adult Hope Scale, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, and Spousal support Scale were completed. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21) employing ANOVA, independent t-tests, and Pearson correlation. Results: The mean age of the women included in the study was 45. 32 years, and the majority of them (63. 5%) were housewives. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between perceived Spousal support and levels of Hope and Happiness among participants. Increased Spousal support was associated with higher levels of Hope and Happiness in women with Breast cancer. In addition, certain demographic variables, such as socioeconomic status and the presence of children at home, were found to be significantly correlated with levels of Hope and Happiness among participants (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Spousal support was meaningfully associated with Hope, a factor in structure and strategic thinking when facing problems, and mental Happiness. The results of this research highlight the need to educate and support husbands of women with Breast cancer, as they play a critical role in the support system for their partners during the illness.
