Introduction: Cancer patients are at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 and present worse outcomes. Objective: To evaluate COVID-19 pandemic post-traumatic stress disorder in women with breast cancer. Method: The Event Impact Scale ‒ Revised (IES-R) was used, consisting of 22 items, in 3 subscales (avoidance, intrusion and hyperstimulation), including criteria for evaluating post-traumatic stress disorders. The invitation was made through WhatsApp or in online meetings of a rehabilitation center for women with breast cancer, further to a link to a Google Docs form and the Informed Consent Form (ICF) sent electronically. Results: 50 women were enrolled, aged between 34 and 81 years, 88% in use of some type of comorbidities medication and 10% used antidepressants. Participants did not have posttraumatic stress disorders, however the figures showed that older women had lower rates of post-traumatic stress disorders: total scale (p=0.002), subscales intrusion (p=0.001) and hyperstimulation (p=0.003). There was also a significant difference of antidepressant medication for the total scale (p=0.032) and for the intrusion (p=0.026) and hyperstimulation (p=0.030) subscales. Conclusion: The participants did not present post-traumatic stress disorder, possibly due to the fact that they are already attending a breast cancer rehabilitation center that offers online comprehensive care during the pandemic as well.
