Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India and a leading cause of cancer-related death, often resulting in impaired physical, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing and thus poor quality of life (QOL). The present study aimed to assess the quality of life among women with breast cancer. A quantitative, non-experimental descriptive research design was used among 210 women diagnosed with breast cancer within the last 1-5 years and visiting the cancer centre of a tertiary care hospital in Ludhiana, Punjab. Purposive sampling was adopted and data were collected using the Quality of Life Instrument Breast Cancer Patient Version (Ferrell, Grant, Dow-H, 1995) through interview and self-report methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (SPSS version 25). Half of the women were aged 41-55 years with a mean age of 53.75 ± 11.04 years, and the majority were married, Hindu, non-working/homemakers, from nuclear families, urban habitat, and belonged to the lower middle class. The overall mean QOL score was 179.77 ± 7.55, indicating an average quality of life. Age and habitat showed a statistically significant association with quality of life (p < 0.000). The study concluded that most women with breast cancer had average quality of life with poor physical wellbeing and average psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing, highlighting the need for targeted Information, Education and Communication strategies to improve their quality of life.
