Abstract
Chemotherapy is one of the treatments for breast cancer patients that affects the physical, psychological, and quality of life of the patient. Patients need to have a good coping mechanism to maintain a good quality of life. Several factors that affect the quality of life of cancer patients include self-acceptance. This study aims to describe the picture of self-acceptance in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The design of this study used quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at the Integrated Cancer Installation of the Regional General Hospital with a sample of 149 people using a purposive sampling technique. Based on the results of the study, it was found that breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experienced moderate self-acceptance as many as 72 samples (48.3%), with the largest age range of 46-55 years (54; 36.2%), most respondents were married (148; 99.3%). most respondents were in stage III (83; 55.7%), had been diagnosed with cancer for 3-6 months (54; 36.2) and were undergoing 2-3 series of chemotherapy (54: 36.3%). The higher a person's self-acceptance, the more optimistic they are in undergoing treatment for their recovery. It is expected that nurses will use a caring approach to increase patient self-acceptance during chemotherapy and provide support to patients to remain optimistic during treatment.
