Breast cancer is a chronic disease that it’s diagnose and treatment is accompanied with many psychological problems. Breast cancer is the most prevalent and most effective cancer in women, which causes deep emotional and affective problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between self- coherence and mental well-being in women with breast cancer. For this purpose in a descriptive-correlational research method 215 women with breast cancer who had undergone surgery at least once in Kerman in 2017 were selected through available sampling and tested with regard to the sense of coherence, cognitive emotion regulation and psychological well-being. The structural equation modeling showed that emotional regulation strategies mediate the relationship between self coherence and mental well-being through positive emotional regulation strategies. These results suggest that self coherence not only is a predictor of psychological well-being, but can also significantly influence mental well-being by the use of positive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation in women with breast cancer.
