Summary/Abstract: Introduction: A special survey of patients who had gone through the breast cancer treatment process was carried out in the period from October 2021 to August 2022. The survey took place in various countries with the participation of 150 women aged 35-70. Material and methods: The survey was carried out based on qualitative research strategies by means of deep online interviews. The aim of this special survey was to find out what problems women with breast cancer encountered during their treatment and after the treatment. Results: Respondents stated that during their participation in the intervention program they felt some decrease in their feelings of anxiety and stress, as well as some increase in sleep level quality. After completing the intervention program, they stated in the survey also some kind of new perception of themselves and a determination to carry out positive changes in their lives or at work. Conclusion: Similarly designed special online trainings for effective management strategies should be intensively developed and modified to make them applicable also in the case of treatment support for other oncological diseases.
