Association of social support, spirituality with psychological factors in Iranian breast cancer survivors: An evidence from a cross-sectional study.

A greater proportion of patients had moderate depression (62.9%) and moderate anxiety (67.3%). The higher level of social support was significantly associated with a lesser degree of depression (β=-0.05, p = .001) and anxiety (β=-0.04, p = .001), but there had been no association with the severity of fatigue score, while the association of spiritual health with depression and anxiety was not independently significant. This study highlights the importance of perceived social support in the prevention of depression and anxiety.
