Abstract Breast cancer, a serious diagnosis for women, can cause major alterations in their physical and psychological state and, consequently, lead to changes in their commitment to spiritual and religious practices. Despite the crucial role played by these spiritual aspects in stress management, psychological support and the overall well-being of patients, they remain underexplored in the scientific literature.
The present study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of cancer on religious beliefs and practices among patients, with a particular focus on its effect on their quality of life.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing irradiation in the Radiotherapy Department at the National Institute of Oncology during the period from January 2025 to May 2025. A multifaceted assessment was conducted, encompassing the degree of religiosity, spiritual well-being, quality of life, the presence of physical and psychological symptoms, the extent of acceptance of the disease, and therapeutic strategies. This assessment was complemented by an interview conducted during weekly monitoring consultations, which addressed various factors. The educational and economic levels of the participants were also evaluated.
