This study examined moderating role of resilience on the relationship between mindfulness, stigmatization and psychological well-being among working women diagnosed with breast cancer (N = 170). Participants ranged from 25 to 56 years in age. Cancer patients completed the mindfulness scale, resilience scale, stigmatization scale and psychological well-being scale. Moderated regression analysis showed that resilience moderated the influence of mindfulness on psychological well-being. When patients reported a high level of resilience, those with high mindfulness reported higher scores in psychological well-being. Moderated regression analysis also showed that resilience moderated the influence of stigmatization on psychological well-being. These findings indicate that high levels of resilience can reduce the negative effects of stigmatization on psychological well-being. This study advances our understanding of how resilient individuals cope with severe life stressors and increase their well-being. These findings contributed to the robustness of the general idea that resilience is necessary to overcome the negative consequences of diagnosed breast cancer. Hereby, the present findings support the literature that the ability to approach threats in a resilient manner is a crucial competency in stressful circumtances.
