PASTUNA-DOICELA, Rosa  y  SANHUEZA-ALVARADO, Olivia. Influence of Self-efficacy on Uncertainty and Quality of Life of Women with Breast Cancer. Integrative Review. Enfermería (Montevideo) [online]. 2021, vol.10, n.2, pp.124-144.  Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 1688-8375.  https://doi.org/10.22235/ech.v10i2.2603.

Breast cancer is a very aggressive disease that negatively impacts quality of life, due to multiple physical, psychological, and aesthetic changes, constant uncertainty and fear of death, which deteriorate self-esteem, self-management capacity, emotions, self-efficacy and sense of hope of affected women. To determine the influence of self-efficacy in the uncertainty and in the quality of life of women with breast cancer. A review of the scientific literature was carried out in the main databases, from 2015 to 2020, of full-text articles, using the following descriptors: "breast cancer" "uncertainty" quality of life "and "Self-efficacy", following the guidelines established by the Cochrane Manual and the PRISMA report. Twenty articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. The following categories addressed in the research are presented as findings: "Deterioration of the quality of life of women due to breast cancer"; "Uncertainty as a psychological stressor that affects quality of life" and "Self-efficacy as a facilitative factor for well-being and coping". Uncertainty emerged as a psychological stressor that deteriorates the integral well-being of the affected women, since it negatively influences the psychological, social and physical domains of quality of life. A positive association between self-efficacy with well-being and coping strategies was identified among women with breast cancer, since self-efficacy reduces the perception of ambiguity and uncertainty.
