Abstract
Many individuals diagnosed with breast cancer experience emotional stress that interferes with their psychological functioning and quality of life. Thus, this study aims to explore the level and experience of emotional acceptance when individuals are diagnosed with breast cancer. This study’s main objective is to determine the emotional acceptance process of patients diagnosed with breast cancer in Malaysia. This study uses the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and has involved a total of 11 experts who have faced breast cancer. Changing the patient's emotional acceptance depends on the influence of the cancer patient's internal and external positive motivation.
