Mindfulness has been found to be related to coping and quality of life. The aim of the current study was to compare the Impact of a cancer diagnosis in the initial, middle and advanced stages of breast cancer and to assess the relationship between Impact of diagnosis and level of mindfulness in the patients. Present study is crosssectional observational comparative study. The study consisted of 30 breast cancer patients in the initial, middle and advanced stages (10 in each stage). The Impact of Events Scale and Cognitive and Aff ective Mindfulness Scale Revised were used. One way analysis of variance was computed to see if the three groups signifi cantly diff ered on the two measures. Pearson’s Correlation was computed to fi nd the association between Impact of diagnosis and Mindfulness. Results suggests ninety percent of the breast cancer patients reported negative psychological impact of the diagnosis. However, the three stages did not diff er signifi cantly with respect to Impact of diagnosis and level of mindfulness. Impact of diagnosis and level of Mindfulness were found to be negatively correlated. Findings can be concluded that Psychological factors have implications in the clinical management of breast cancer.
