Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was directed to find out the change of lifestyle after breast cancer surgery among females who had breast cancer surgery in Duhok Governorate. The study was conducted on 110 patients who had breast cancer surgery in Duhok Governorate.
Results: the mean age of the patients was (49.4 ± 10.1 SD) ranging from (30 to 71 years) and 75.5% were married, 57.3% were from urban, 86.4% were Muslim, 47.3% were illiterate, finally, 78.2% were unemployed. Sleep patterns of the patients have not changed after breast surgery and most of them were normal sleepers 62.7%. physical activity has reduced significantly (p-value= <0.0001) from preoperative to postoperative time. The study found that a significant improvement has been developed in the diet items of the patients, including increasing fruits and a reduction in creamy foods, sweet patisseries, soft drinks, and sugar-sweetened juices.
