Abstract
This dataset presents a survey data describing COVID-19 awareness, knowledge, preparedness and related behaviors among breast cancer patients in Indonesia. The data were collected from breast cancer patients through a survey distributed by an online questionnaire, assesing social-demographic characteristics (6 items), COVID-19 awareness (5 items), knowledge (2 items), preparedness (2 items) and related behaviors (2 items), from 20th June until 14th July 2020. The samples were gathered 500 breast cancer patients in Indonesia who were willing to fill an online questionnaire. SPSS version 23.0 was used to analyzed the data by descriptive and inferential statistics and SmartPLS 3 to created the partial least square path modeling. The data will help in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 among breast cancer patients and can support for health education and promotion interventions.

2. Experimental design, materials and methods
This research was conducted using a cross sectional survey design to determine COVID-19 awareness, knowledge and preparedness with related behaviors among breast cancer patients in Indonesia. The dataset in this survey were 500 breast cancer patients collected through medical records review at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang, Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta and Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta, by the written online informed consent. The data responses collected between 20th June until 14th July 2020. The main researchers selected to use WhatsApp Messenger for enrolling potential participants. A questionnaire was designed and executed and made using google forms and link generated was shared on Whatsapp messenger after main researchers got the contact number of participants from medical records review and permitted by doctors or team members who treated patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang, Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta and Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta. The sampling technique in this survey is convenience sampling [1]. The inclusion criteria were female patients with pathology examination showed positive breast cancer based on medical records review and never infected COVID-19 [2].
