ABSTRACT
Introduction: Besides being a physiological problem, breast cancer is also a
psychological problem. Breast cancer patients are prone to anxiety,
depression, stress, fear, and other psychological problems. Prolonged
psychological problems that are not resolved lead to impaired self-confidence
and motivation to undergo treatment, which has a negative impact on health.
Psychoeducation as a psychological therapy as well as providing education is
used as a therapy that aims to overcome the psychological problems of breast
cancer patients.

study is psychoeducation and the dependent variables are self-efficacy and
