Breast cancer might be considered a life-threatening event as it demands changes that could exceed the patient’s abilities to cope with their illness, therefore, affect HRQoL in a negative way. This study analyzes the contribution that traumatic stress, perceived stress, coping, migration and type of treatment have on the variability of physical and metal components of the HRQoL of 53 mastectomized women with breast cancer. The instruments used include the Spanish adaptation of the SF-36 health survey (Alonso, Prieto & Antó, 1995), the COPE Inventory (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989), the Perceived Stress Scale PSS (Cohen, Kamarck & Mermelstein, 1983) and the Peruvian adaptation of the traumatic stress scale (Gargurevich, 2006). The analysis found medium and high levels of the HRQoL. Physical component was more affected than mental component, especially in migrant patients. The model of the physical component was comprised by migration, treatment type and traumatic stress, which explained 30% of its variability. On the other hand, two models were obtained from the mental component; the first was comprised by traumatic stress and perceived stress, which explained 39% of its variability, while the second model, comprised by traumatic stress, perceived stress an emotion-oriented stress, explained 42% of its variability
