Abstract：Objective To explore the correlation between stigma and self-esteem in young breast cancer patients. Methods A total of 74 young breast cancer patients who were treated were selected as the research objects.The self-esteem level of the patients was assessed by RSES and grouped according to the assessment results.All patients were assessed for stigma,compared the level of stigma of patients,and analyzed the correlation between stigma and self-esteem. Results Among 74 young breast cancer patients,31 had low self-esteem,accounting for 41.89%;25 had moderate self-esteem,accounting for 33.78%.There were 18 patients with high self-esteem level,accounting for 24.32%,and there were no statistically significant differences in the age,body mass index,surgical method,education level,marital status,occupational status,and family monthly income of patients in different self-esteem groups（P>0.05）.The social impact scale（SIS）scores of the medium self-esteem level group and the high self-esteem level group were lower than the low self-esteem level group,and the SIS score of the high self-esteem level group was lower than that of the medium self-esteem level group,the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）.According to Pearson analysis,the stigma of young breast cancer patients was negatively correlated with the level of self-esteem（r=-0.456,P<0.05）. Conclusion The level of stigma in young breast cancer patients will affect the level of self-esteem,that is,high stigma may lead to a decrease in the level of self-esteem of patients.Therefore,reasonable interventions can be taken accordingly to reduce patients’ stigma and improve self-esteem.
