Current status and associated factors of social avoidance in postoperative breast cancer patients: a cross-sectional study

The study found that 55.1% of breast cancer patients exhibited intermediate levels of social avoidance. Consequently, healthcare professionals are in a position to develop targeted interventions based on these factors to guide patients to tap into positive and active psychology, improve the level of social avoidance, and ultimately improve the quality of life. This, in turn, provides a basis for better implementation of psychological interventions for social avoidance in the future.
