Most breast cancer survivors experienced mild or moderate decision regret. Decision regret influences survivors' general and breast specific functions.

The mindfulness-based interventions could cultivate breast cancer patients living at the present moment experiences to reduce their negative rumination about the past treatment decision and enhance their QOL.
