ABSTRACT

Cancer survivors may face degeneration in their self-esteem, which in turn can have significant impact on their psychological well-being. Present study aims at investigating & evaluating how self-esteem, can notably affect the psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors. Present study employed ‘Psychological Well-Being Scale’ (PWBS-SDCP) by Sisodia & Chaudhary & ‘Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale ‘by Morris Rosenberg (1965). With these, a socio-demographic sheet was also attached. A convenient sampling technique was used with a sample size of 35, in which 35 females surviving breast cancer were considered. Descriptive statistics & inferential statistics like Pearson correlation method were used for analysing the data. Self-esteem & psychological well-being were shown to be correlated at a r=0.708967 (p<0.01) correlation coefficient. The positive correlation coefficient (r =0.708967) implies that self-esteem & psychological well-being in breast cancer patients have a favourable association. The study is done on an underrated field of psycho-oncology which directly relates self-esteem level of breast cancer patients with their psychological well-being. As many other studies already done are less, there is a need for more studies to be conducted in such a field.
