“…Chen et al reported a positive association between HRQoL and breastfeeding duration; mothers who continued breastfeeding for longer than six months obtained significantly higher QoL scores [ 32 ]. Similarly, other research groups reported better QoL in mothers who have breastfed [ 3 , 33 ]. Moreover, the authors suggested that breastfeeding would affect the QoL as successful breastfeeding depends on both physiological and psychological factors which, along with social relationships, are important components of QoL [ 3 ].…”

Hence, further research on the relationship between the mental QoL and breastfeeding in breast cancer survivors were warranted.…”

“…Moreover, the 10-year survival rate increased from 71.8% in 1993–1995 to 87.7% in 2008–2012 [ 2 ]. These remarkable changes suggest that socio-demographic factors such as the supportive strategies provided by family and society enhance the quality of life (QoL) of breast cancer patients [ 3 ]. The improvements in survival rate highlight the importance of long-term QoL for breast cancer survivors in parallel with greater supportive strategies.…”

“…This implies that breastfeeding plays some role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. There are reports that the breastfeeding experience improves the QoL in healthy women [ 3 ]; however, the effect of breastfeeding on the QoL of breast cancer survivors specifically has not been evaluated. Furthermore, the lower HRQoL in Korean breast cancer patients compared to other countries warrants the investigation of the specific factors modulating stress associated with HRQoL in Korean breast cancer patients specifically [ 17 ].…”

Spousal support may attenuate stress in breast cancer survivors and improve their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, there is limited evidence of a relationship between spousal support, stress, and HRQoL in Asian populations. The current study examined whether spousal support, adherence to the American Cancer Society (ACS) Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Survivors, and breastfeeding experience mediated or moderated the relationship between stress and HRQoL in Korean breast-cancer survivors. Between June 2016 and May 2018, 144 Korean women who survived breast cancer were recruited for the current cross-sectional study. Structured questionnaires and medical records were used to collect data. Structural equation modeling was used to examine mediating and moderating factors. Spousal support buffered the adverse effect of stress on HRQoL (β= −0.22 for stress→spousal support; β = 0.27 for spousal support→physical HRQoL; β = 0.40 for spousal support→mental HRQoL). We found that adherence to ACS guidelines moderated the association between stress and HRQoL (β = −0.14 for stress→mental HRQoL in high ACS adherence; β = −0.79 for stress→mental HRQoL in low ACS adherence). Moreover, beta coefficients were −0.22 for stress→mental HRQoL in women with breastfeeding experience, and −0.71 in those without breastfeeding experience. In conclusion, spousal support mediated the association between stress and HRQoL and this association was moderated by both adherence to ACS guidelines and breastfeeding experience.

“…The average age of participants in this study ranged from 15 to 32 years. The age factor was inversely correlation with QoL (Islami, 2016;Kamalifard, et al, 2018;Rezaei et al, 2016;Zubaran & Foresti, 2011). The inverse correlation of QoL with age because of reduced physical ability of the mother to breastfeed her child and reducing QoL (Kamalifard et al, 2018).…”

Quality of life is important to achieve the best performance of mothers. Maternal quality of life is usually measured by WHOQOL-BREF standards (quality of life of the World Health Organization-BREF), SF-36 (Short-36), or MGI (Mother Generated Index). One factor that affects the maternal quality of life is breastfeeding. The practice of breastfeeding is the mother who is breastfeeding (giving only breast milk) and the mother who is not breastfeeding (with formula milk) as well as seeing the length of breastfeeding time for less than 6 months or more than 6 months. This literature review has research question with PICO standard to get the aim about the correlation between the practice of breastfeeding and maternal quality of life. 466 literatures were obtained from the SCOPUS, Proquest, Google Scholar, PubMed and EBSCOhost databases. Literature screening is done by looking at the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been set so that 10 literatures will be reviewed. Most of the literature reports that mothers who breastfeed and continue to breastfeed even though only a month has a better quality of life than mothers who did not breastfeed. One study said that breastfeeding causes a decrease in the maternal quality of life, as well as several other studies that found no significant correlation between breastfeeding practices and maternal quality of life. This result can be used as a reference for the health policy to promote breastfeeding and quality of life.
