Results:The goodness of fit statistics of model was at a good level (x2/df=6.37,TLI=.86, CFI=.94, and SRMR=.007,SRMR=.008). Squared multiple correlation (SMC), which is the explanatory power of social support and self-esteemfor symptom experience, fatigue, and depression, was 38%. As a result of the testing the estimated parameter for the modified model, six out of 8 hypothesis were confirmed.
Conclusion: To enhance the quality of life in women breast cancer survivors who received adjuvant therapy, development of group supporting programs, posttraumatic growth enhancement programs regarding hobbies or religions are necessary.
