The aim to conduct this research is to enlighten the impact of body image dissatisfaction on an individual’s self-esteem and to examine whether there is a gender difference in this case or not. There are a total of 220 numbers of participants, with equal number of males and females in the sample set. The tool that’d be using here is a modified short version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) by Cooper et. Al. in the year in 1987 and The Rosenberg self-esteem scale by Morris Rosenberg (RSES) in the year 1965. The current research proved that whenever there’ll be higher body image dissatisfaction, it’ll result in less self-esteem. Other than that, it stated that females (M= 22.69 and SD= 3.64) have a higher mean score in body image dissatisfaction than and males (M=23.28 and SD= 3.6), therefore, the men have a higher mean score of self-esteem than females.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with the presence of depression symptoms in women after breast cancer. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 181 women with breast cancer, aged 57.0 years (SD = 9.5), who were undergoing treatment or after treatment in the Oncology Research Center in Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The questionnaire comprised items addressing general and health information, economic level, anthropometric measures, depression symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), and body image (Body Image After Breast Cancer Questionnaire). Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were performed by chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests to verify association, Mann-Whitney U test to compare the groups and Poisson regression to identify the prevalence ratio of the factors associated with presence of depression symptoms (p < 0.05). RESULTS: We found an association between the presence of depression symptoms and the group of younger women (aged 40–60 years), those who had another disease besides cancer, those who had mastectomy surgery, those who suffered from lymphedema, and those who presented low–medium self-esteem. Less educated women presented more depressive symptoms, as did women with worse body image on the subscales of limitations, transparency, and arm concerns. CONCLUSIONS: Age, educational attainment, diagnosis of other diseases, type of surgery, lymphedema, self-esteem, and body image were factors associated with the presence of depression symptoms in Brazilian women after breast cancer. Health professionals should be aware of these relationships and try to detect depression symptoms earlier and improve the care they provide to these women.

Purpose To prospectively evaluate body image, sexuality, emotional reactions (anxiety, depression), and quality of life in a sample of women having increased risk for breast cancer before and 6 months and 1 year after bilateral prophylactic mastectomy (BPM), and to compare preoperative expectations of the operation with postoperative reactions concerning the impact on six areas of the women's lives. Patients and Methods A total of 90 of 98 consecutive women who underwent BPM during October 1997 to December 2005 were included. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires (eg, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, Swedish Short Term-36 Health Survey, Body Image Scale, Sexual Activity Questionnaire) before the operation (n = 81), and 6 (n = 71) and 12 months (n = 65) after BPM. Results Anxiety decreased over time (P = .0004). No corresponding difference was found for depression. No differences in health-related quality of life over time were found, with one exception. A substantial proportion of the women reported problems with body image 1 year after BPM (eg, self consciousness, 48%; feeling less sexually attractive, 48%; and dissatisfaction with the scars, 44%). Sexual pleasure was rated lower 1-year post-BPM as compared with before operation (P = .005), but no differences over time in habit, discomfort, or activity were found. Conclusion No negative effects on anxiety, depression, and quality of life were found. Anxiety and social activities improved. Negative impact on sexuality and body image was reported.

O estudo objetivou descrever o (re)significar da sexualidade para a mulher ao descobrir-se com neoplasia maligna da mama. É um estudo qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo, realizado com 15 mulheres em um Centro de Alta Complexidade em Oncologia (CACON) no estado do nordeste brasileiro. Os resultados encontrados foram divididos em dois categorias: Os sentimentos relacionados à (re)significação da imagem corporal e A cura acima da (re)significação da Imagem corporal diante do diagnóstico de câncer de mama. Esse estudo possibilitou perceber que as mulheres, após o diagnóstico de neoplasia maligna da mama, (re)significaram de maneiras diferentes a relação entre o diagnóstico do câncer de mama e a sexualidade, além de apontar ainda que elas necessitam de informações para fortalecer sua autoestima e se colocar como protagonista no processo de adoecimento.Descritores: Neoplasias da Mama, Sexualidade, Enfermagem Oncológica. Breast cancer: (re)signifying female body imageAbstract: The woman's view of her body image is essential in her sexuality, and the breasts play a large role, associating with woman's femininity.

Oncological Treatment

e21550 Background:Cancers are the second most common cause of death. Treatment of cancers is complex and might be aggressive, takes a long time and is usually difficult to accept for patients. As a result of disease and treatment a body image(BI) is impaired and can reduce quality of life(QoL),which has become a very important factor. The objective of the study was to investigate BI and QoL during oncological treatment of breast cancer(BCa), cervical cancer(CeCa) and prostate cancer(PCa) patients and to compare with healthy groups of men(HM) and women(HW). Methods:The analysis included 280 participants: 31 BCa-pts just after oncological surgery (age26-86 years,M = 63,23,Me = 65), 44 BCa-pts during adjuvant radiotherapy (age37-69years, M = 57,23,Me = 60), 21 CeCa-pts during therapy (age30-68years,M = 54,43,Me = 60), 52 PCa-pts with clinical stage T1-T2N0M0 (age57-86;M = 70,65;Me = 70) after standard three-dimensional conformal radiation treatment (3DCRT), 32 PCa-pts (age59-84;M = 74;Me = 75) after stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT), than without any type of cancer 50HM (age47-92years;M = 62,28;Me = 60) and 50HW (age30-84 years,M = 51,46,Me = 50). The subjects filled out the questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30 (ver3.0.) and a specially designed questionnaire for a body image assessment. Results:All factors associated with BI between groups differed significantly (p < 0,05): general appearance, self-esteem, physical and sexual attractiveness. The highest assessment in all categories were done by HRT-pts and the lowest by BCa-pts during radiotherapy, than BCa-pts after surgery. HM and HW perceived BI on a similar level, however lower than HRT-pts. Overall QoL was significantly lowest in BCa-pts after surgery (p < 0,05), but physical, role, emotional, and general functioning were the worst in BCa-pts during radiotherapy (p < 0,05). The lowest social QoL was assessed by CeCa-pts (p < 0,05). Conclusions:It seems that oncological treatment influences significantly BI of cancer patients and worsens QoL especially in breast cancer women just after surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. HTR-pts assesses BI and general QoL even better than healthy groups.
