Abstract :
Psychological factors play an important role in psychological adjustment to breast cancer. One of the important factors is the ability to mentalize mental issues. The aim of this study was to model the structural equations of psychological adjustment and mentalization and the mediating role of analytical experiences in breast cancer patients. Research Method: Descriptive-correlation is a structural equation model. The study population includes all statistics of women with breast cancer referred to Reza Medical Center in Mashhad in the first six months of 1400. Using the sampling method in 190 patients Breast cancer were selected. For the measurements of the study, the abbreviated form of mental adjustment (MAC), the conclusion of reflective action and the analysis of analytical experiences were used. All research data were used by Pearson correlation coefficient, and LISREL and SPSS statistical software were used for modeling. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between mind building and psychological adjustment, and between analytical experiences and psychological adjustment, and between mentalization and analytical experiences in women with breast cancer, but the experiences of mediating analysis Meaning is between two variables. is not. Discussion and Conclusion: It can be stated that mentalization has a significant effect on psychological adjustment to cancer in patients. To better understand the indirect effects of experiences, psychological adjustment and mentalization are needed to consider disease progression and length of treatment.
