Benign breast biopsy (BBB) can be distressing for many women. Few studies have examined specific aspects of the BBB more or less distressing or risk factors for distress. Women (N= 51) who had a recent BBB reported the magnitude of distress associated with specific aspects of their experience. Clinical and demographic variables were also examined as risk factors for distress. All women reported some distress associated with the BBB with one third reporting their experience was “very stressful.” Generally, biopsy-specific events were more distressing than follow-up mammography. Distress risk factors included younger age, less education, nonsurgical biopsy, and no family history of breast cancer. Clinical efforts to better manage biopsy-related distress are warranted. The authors identified clinical and demographic risk factors that furnish a simple, efficient, and potentially cost-effective means of stratifying risk for distress in the breast biopsy setting.
