AB Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer diagnosis with the highest mortality rateworldwide. The aim of this study was to identify factors related to depression and anxiety inmastectomized women BC survivors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of198 women diagnosed with BC aged 30–80 years in Mexico. Depression and anxiety were assessedusing the 14-item Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The results showed that 94.44%and 69.18% of the women scored more than eight points on HADS in the anxiety and depressionsubscales, respectively; 70.20% and 10.60% were identified as pathological. The following variableswere analyzed: age, time elapsed since the start of treatment, received treatment at the time of theevaluation, type of surgery, family history, marital status and employment status. Time elapsed sincesurgery, having a partner, and employment showed significant results as factors associated to levelsof depression and anxiety in these patients. In conclusion, it has been shown that BCSs under 50 yearsof age receiving some kind of treatment, without family history, without a partner, with a job, withmore than secondary education and with more than 5 years since diagnosis could have higher ratesof clinical depression. On the other hand, BCSs older than 50 years receiving some kind of treatment,without family history, without a partner, with a job, with more than secondary education and withmore than 5 years since diagnosis, could have higher rates of clinical anxiety. In conclusion, thevariables studied provide valuable information for the implementation of psychotherapy plans inhealthcare systems to reduce the risk of depression and/or anxiety in women with BC who haveundergone mastectomy.
