Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience as part of the effect of spiritual well-being in the supportive care needs of women with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional design. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Short Form, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short Form were completed women with breast cancer treated at the oncology clinic of a university hospital. For the mediation model, Bootstrap methods with PROCESS Macro were used. Results: The study was conducted with 126 breast cancer patients. A significant negative, moderate relationship was found between supportive care needs and psychological resilience (r = -0.560). There was a significant negative, but weak relationship between supportive care needs and spiritual well-being (r = -0.385). The indirect effect of spiritual well-being on supportive care needs was significant, thus, psychological resilience was shown to have a mediating effect on the relationship between spiritual well-being and supportive care needs [b = -0.370, 95% confidence interval (- 0.5568, -0.1911)]. Conclusion: Psychological resilience appears to contribute to a reduction in supportive care needs of breast cancer patients by affecting spiritual well-being.
