Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of death in Iran. BC treatments associated with the change in appearance may cause concerns over body image. As a multidimensional construct, body image consists of perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to the body's appearance, abilities, and functions. Dissatisfaction with changes in appearance due to cancer and its treatments affects afflicted patients’ social status, romantic relationships, and physical activity and causes them problems such as continuous distress, anxiety, and depression. All efforts to improve quality levels of body image in these patients can have a significant effect on their quality of life, psychological disasters, and trends of recovery. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between demographical factors and body image of patients with breast cancer. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in 2019 on women with breast cancer. Accordingly, 200 Patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer were selected via the convenience sampling method. The data of the study were collected via questionnaires (Demographic and Body Image after Breast Cancer Questionnaire (BIBCQ). The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression in SPSS25 at a significance level of 0.05 Results: The mean age of participants was 48.43 (SD=10.53). The results showed that the variables such as type of treatment (p=0.002), physical health (β=-0.49, p<0.001), economic status (β=-0.62, p<0.001), and quality of life (β=-0.41, p=0.003) had the predictability potential of the body image in those under mastectomy. Educational level (β= 0.22, p=0.02) and physical health (β=-0.25, p=0.01) factors could predict body image in people with no mastectomy. The educational level and physical health were significantly related to body image, and all of them could determine 11% of the variance of body image. Discussion: The results of the present study revealed that the effective factors of body image in women with breast cancer differed in accordance with the type of treatment. The results of the study indicated that the improvement of the economic status has a positive effect on the body image of breast cancer. In addition, this factor can improve the quality of life in women who survive breast cancer Keywords: body image, breast cancer, socio-demographic characteristics Legal entity responsible for the study: The authors Funding: Has no funding.
