Core Tip This study demonstrates that family dysfunction, particularly communication problems, is a strong independent predictor of psychological morbidity in breast cancer patients. Using the Family Assessment Device and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, we developed and validated a clinical risk prediction model with good accuracy. Early identification of family dysfunction allows timely psychological support and family-centered interventions, which may improve mental health outcomes and treatment adherence in breast cancer care.
