Abstract: This study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness-based art therapy (MBAT) in improving breast cancer patients' quality of life, lifestyle, and health literacy in Torbat Jam, Iran, in 2024. The participants of the present quasi-experimental study were 84 patients with breast cancer (42 patients in the intervention group and 42 patients in the control group). The findings showed that the MBAT group demonstrated significant improvements in key health-related aspects as measured by the Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36), Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II questionnaire, and Health Literacy Questionnaire. It was found that the MBAT intervention had a significant effect on improving lifestyle behaviors (p <.05). The findings indicate that the significance level for quality of life is.001 with an F value of 8.573; the significance level for lifestyle is.030 with an F value of 2.816; and the significance level for health literacy is.001 with an F value of 34.954. The effect sizes (partial η2) for quality of life, healthy lifestyle, and health literacy are.732,.473, and.918, respectively, with the largest effect being for health literacy (.918) and the smallest for healthy lifestyle (.473). The observed differences between the participants' average scores in the interventional and control groups in the posttest stage are significant with 95% confidence (p <.05). This investigation of MBAT provides initial encouraging data that support a possible future role for the intervention as a psychosocial option for improving the quality of life, lifestyle, and health literacy of breast cancer patients.
