|
Purpose: The study was done to compare the perception of successful aging for late middle-aged breast cancer survivors and healthy women.
Methods: A descriptive research design was used and data were collected from April to August 2014. Participants were 75 women breast cancer survivors and 71 healthy women. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA.
Results: The study results showed that late middle-aged breast cancer survivors scored higher than healthy women in perception of successful aging and also on the sub-items of the perception of successful aging such as personal growth, pursuing meaning, and moderation. There were significant differences in perceptions of successful aging for late middle-aged breast cancer survivors according to education level and job, but for late middle-aged healthy women, the significant difference in perception of successful aging was related to religion.
Conclusion: Based on these results, to plan a successful aging program and increase the perception of successful aging for late middle-aged healthy women, intervention strategies should be developed considering these items that are important to successful aging.
