The data of this study analyzed by structural equation method and using smart PLS software.

These results suggest that both direct paths and indirect paths have a significant effect on depression, but the paths that are more valid to the path of anxiety of death -> depression than other paths. Conclusion: In the formation of depression in women with breast cancer, mental and spiritual factors such as self-compassion and death anxiety are involved.Their findings implied the strong relation among spirituality values and psychological constructs.
