乳腺癌的诊断和治疗对妇女的身体和心理都有影响。有许多明显和真实的因素与女性乳腺癌患者的心理困扰有关，如面临危及生命的疾病、痛苦和损害的治疗以及重大的角色转变。尽管这些因素显然很重要，但与面临乳腺癌的女性的身体形象有关的问题也会增加心理痛苦。一般来说，女性关心自己的外表、体重和身体，最近的研究表明，89%的女性报告了对体重的担忧。这种病前的担忧往往是根深蒂固的，可能会导致接受乳腺癌治疗的女性的心理痛苦。本文是对有关乳腺癌女性的身体形象问题和相关心理调适的文献综述。对临床实践的影响和对未来研究的建议也进行了讨论。
Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer affects women physically as well as psychologically. There are many obvious and real factors that are related to psychological distress in women coping with breast cancer, such as facing a life-threatening illness, painful and impairing treatments, and significant role changes. Although these factors are clearly important, issues related to body image in women faced with breast cancer can also add to psychological distress. Women, in general, are concerned with their appearance, their weight, and their body, with recent studies suggesting 89% of women reported concerns with weight. Such premorbid concerns are often deeply ingrained and can contribute to psychological distress in women treated for breast cancer. The present article is a summary of the literature that has examined body image issues and related psychological adjustment in women with breast cancer. Implications for clinical practice and recommendations for future investigations are discussed.
