The results showed that there was a significant difference in psychological distress in the intervention group and control group after supportive care interventions with an average value of psychological distress (anxiety) in the intervention group (Mean = 4.16; SD = 1.700) and the control group (Mean = 0.24; SD = 0.879), while the average value of psychological distress (depression) in the intervention group was (Mean = 3.24; SD = 1.53) and the control group (Mean = 0.28; SD = 0.76). Statistical results obtained p=0.001 (<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is an effectiveness of supportive care interventions on psychological distress of breast cancer patients.
