This study aims to explore the effects of social support on stress and depression in patients with breast cancer. This study is a descriptive correlational research to provide basic data for a nursing intervention program with a social support system in order to reduce stress and depression in breast cancer patients. Subjects of this study are 75 women patients who have been diagnosed breast cancer and have undergone breast cancer surgery without a past history of other diseases and cancers. Frequency, 100-percentile, mean, standard deviation, Pearson Correlation, t-test, ANOVA, Simple Linear Regression are estimated with SPSS. There is no statistical correlation among breast cancer patients’ stress and the support received from family members, medical staff, and fellow cancer patients. While there is no significant statistical correlation between breast cancer patients’ depression and the support received from medical workers and fellow cancer patients, there is a negative correlation between the patient’s depression and family support (r=-.436, p=.000). The more family support that a breast cancer patient receives, the less likely they are to become depressed. This result suggests that family support should be considered as a key parameter in developing a nursing intervention program. Therefore, in order to reduce depression of breast cancer patients, nurses need to offer comprehensive and integrated nursing interventions encouraging family support.
