Hypothesis 1. There will be difference of degree of depression between the breast surgery group and general population was not supported (t=1.08, p=0.285).
Hypothesis 2. There will be difference of degree of anxiety between the breast surgery group and the general population was not supported(t=1.00, p=0.321).
Hypothesis 3. There will be difference of degree of body image between the breast surgery group and the general population was not supported (t=1.71, p=0.090).
In conclusion, proper intervention of nursing for adaptation/self concept is to be more needed before surgery/biopsy/diagnosis than after operation of breast. It is surely regarded as necessary to have proper investigation the right timing on adaptation of patient and also to intervene highly of ??unrse for patient adaptation for whom need follow up care at the OPD after one two-three months after of surgery.
