The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological states of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. We conducted semi-structured, interactive interviews with 13 patients in the recovery process, who had surgery 3 to 10 days before. In a result, we were ablo to obatain 19 themes and 53 sub-themes on their psychological states. Although, before their operation, patients' psychological states appeared unstable, they seemed to be trying to cope with their condition and attempting to rethink their own personal value in connection with their prognosis. However, despite a variety of preparation, patients still had many concerns and worries because of unexpected experiences that happened after surgery. When patients reached clearer state of mind, they began to mourn the loss of their breasts and felt afraid that they might get cancer again someday. One of the most important tasks of nursing we discovered from these results is that, in cooperation with doctors, nurses need to give patients adequate information as well as continual psychological support so that patients are able to face the disease of breast cancer more successfully by themselves.
