Objective: To evaluate traits and the state of anxiety in women who have had mastectomies and examine the relationship of anxiety with demographic and clinical variables. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with 84 women who have had mastectomies linked to the Rehabilitation Program for Women with Mastectomies (Premma) located in Vitória, EspíritoSanto. The variables were collected through specific form, the traits and state of anxiety on the basis of STAI- State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: The traits and state of anxiety showed average levels. Only the time that the woman came to the treatment program was related to anxiety (p <0.05). Conclusion: Women participating in an interdisciplinary rehabilitation program, perhaps, justifies why the scores do not show high levels of anxiety.
