| 520 | |a Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the second cause of cancer death in many parts of the world such as the Eastern Mediterranean Region (World Health Organization, 2006). However, studies have shown that many women still are not satisfied with the quality of care, they report high levels of emotional distress even after getting the latest treatment from their medical practitioners (Adler & Page, 2008). A few medical services use the biopsychosocial-spiritual framework that responds not only to physical and mental suffering or removing the pain; it also tries to enhance the patients‟ quality of life through facing the patients' questions and needs (Mystakidou, Tsilika, Parpa, Smyrnioti & Vlahos, 2007). Therefore this research focuses on the relationship between spirituality, social support and health related quality of life in addition to examining the mediating effect of social support in the relationship between spirituality and health related quality of life among Saudi breast cancer survivors. The sample consists of 70 breast cancer survivors (mean age= 43.20) from a non-governmental organization in three cities in Saudi Arabia. The measurement used in this study were the Arabic version of the Religious Personality scale (MRPI) besides multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MPSS) and quality of life (EORTC QOL-C30, QOLBR23). The correlation matrix reveals a significant relationship between spirituality and health related quality of life among breast cancer survivors (r =.64, p > .001), social support and health related quality of life were also significantly correlated (r .30, p > .001). Lastly, results indicate that social support did not mediate the relationship between spirituality and health related quality of life. | ||
