     This cross-sectional correlational study aimed to describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to examine the relationships between symptom experience, social support, and HRQoL among postoperative breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in Hangzhou, China. 130 participants were recruited through simple random sampling from the Cancer Daycare Center of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in Hangzhou, China. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and three validated Chinese-language scales including the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Breast (FACT-B). Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation.

Results showed that the mean HRQoL score was 93.45 (SD = 19.56). Symptom experience had a moderate negative correlation with HRQoL (r = -.558, p < .01). While social support had a moderate positive correlation with HRQoL (r = .556, p < .01)

     The findings suggest that improving symptom management and enhancing social support may help promote better HRQoL among postoperative breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
