Full textThe aim of this study is to explore the role of communication between the physician and women with breast cancer, and to examine women’s coping mechanisms from diagnosis through the management of the illness to its resolution. A qualitative methodology was utilised, with purposive sampling of participants from a public hospital in the Western Cape. A semi-structured interview was used to gather the data, after which a thematic analysis was conducted. The findings reveal the information exchange between physician and patient was clear, direct and understandable. Furthermore, the participants coped by accessing and using support from family and friends, by recourse to spirituality and prayer (bargaining with God, questioning of God), and by developing a positive attitude, with hope for recovery and acceptance. There were also emotional and psychological reactions from women in the sample when they received their diagnoses. This study may provide valuable insights into the experiences of women with stages I to III of breast cancer

Full textCe travail de thèse a investigué ces questions au travers de deux études empiriques répondant aux objectifs suivants: (a) l’évaluation de l’évolution et des prédicteurs de l’anxiété durant le traitement de radiothérapie et (b) le développement et l’évaluation de l’efficacité de deux interventions psychologiques de groupe sur la régulation de l’anxiété après la radiothérapie.
Les résultats de la première étude (a) montrent que les niveaux d’anxiété les plus élevés sont observés lors de la simulation et de la première séance de radiothérapie et diminuent, ensuite, rapidement jusqu’à la fin du traitement. Bien que les niveaux d’anxiété soient relativement faibles pour de nombreuses patientes et semblent être de nature anticipatoire, certaines patientes présentent des niveaux cliniquement significatifs d’anxiété. De plus, un niveau cliniquement significatif d’anxiété à la première séance de radiothérapie est prédit par des facteurs liés à la communication entre les patientes et l’équipe de radiothérapie. Les résultats de la seconde étude (b) indiquent qu’une intervention de groupe à composantes multiples qui combine le soutien, les techniques cognitivo-comportementales et l’hypnose est plus efficace qu’une intervention de groupe à composante unique basée sur le soutien pour aider les patientes à mieux réguler leur anxiété après la radiothérapie.
Les résultats de ce travail de thèse soulignent l’importance d’évaluer l’anxiété chez les patientes à des moments critiques de leurs parcours médical et d’identifier les patientes qui présentent des niveaux cliniquement significatifs d’anxiété pour leur offrir un soutien adapté. Ces résultats suggèrent également d’améliorer les prises en charge afin de réduire l’anxiété des patientes. Des prises en charge offertes par les équipes de radiothérapie nécessitent une personnalisation de la communication établie avec les patientes et l’utilisation de stratégies proactives d’évaluation, d’information et de soutien. Des prises en charge psychologiques de groupe nécessitent quant à elles de combiner les composantes thérapeutiques les plus optimales. Enfin, ce travail de thèse souligne l’importance de continuer à développer et à améliorer les méthodes d’évaluation et d’intervention.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Seeing that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and that it has such a high incidence that every woman should be aware of it, time has come for the theology, and especially for pastoral care, to provide some answers on the possible problems that accompany the illness. Treatment of breast cancer almost always include a degree of surgical intervention through which part of or a whole breast, and in extreme cases even the underlying tissue, is being removed. This procedure, to some extent, influences a woman's experience of her physique which in turn has an effect on the intimate space of her marriage. The mastectomy patient may experience that the operation, with all the psychological affects it has, disturbs her inner life rythm and that results in her relationships also being pressurised. The crisis of a mastectomy should be handled as a relationship crisis within a marriage, in which the husband can play an important therapeutic role. The husbands contribution will be greatly effected by: a) His commitment to the relationship and b) The correlation between his male identity, his sexuality and his perceptions of the female physique. Within the crisis of mastectomy, the woman's body-image should not be separated from her faith identity and the quality of her marriage - there exists a dynamic interaction between these three, which means that the handling of the crisis of a mastectomy is directly dependent on the quality if her loving relationship and on the way in which she experiences her faith. The faith factor plays an important role in the handling of the crisis, by creating a distance between the trauma of the loss and the way in which she experiences her identity. Pastoral care can play a vital role in the handling of the crisis of a mastectomy by means of guidance and support, as it proclaims the active presence of God through the marrid body of Jesus Christ. The husband of the mastectomy patient can, in his therapeutic role, be guided to be much more sensitive for the emotional needs of his wife, in regard to aspect of sexuality. This would give her the support she needs and work constructively towards the goal of healing.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Aangesien borskanker die algemeenste kanker onder vroue is en dit sulke geweldige afmetings aangeneem het dat elke vrou daarmee moet rekening hou, het dit tyd geword dat die teologie, en met name die pastoraat, ditself ook ten opsigte van die moontlike problematiek wat daarmee saamgaan, moet verantwoord. Die behandeling van borskanker behels in die meerderheid van gevalle 'n mate van chirurgiese ingrepe waardeur 'n deel van of die hele bors, en in ekstreme gevalle ook die onderliggende weefsel, verwyder word. Hierdie prosedure oefen, in 'n mindere of meerdere mate, 'n invloed op die vrou se belewing van haar liggaamlikheid uit wat weer na die intieme band van die huwelik kan deurwerk. Die mastektomiepasiënt kan ervaar dat die operasie, met al die sielkundige effekte wat dit inhou, haar innerlike lewensritme versteur sodat die verhoudinge waarin sy leef ook onder druk geplaas word. Binne die huwelik sou 'n mens dan die krisis van 'n mastektomie as 'n verhoudingskrisis moet hanteer, waarin die eggenoot 'n belangrike terapeutiese funksie kan vervul. Die man se bydrae word egter deurslaggewend bepaal deur: a) Sy verbintenis aan die verhouding en b) Die korrelasie tussen sy manlike identiteit, seksualiteit en die persepsies met betrekking tot die liggaamlikheid van die vrou. Binne die krisis van 'n mastektomie kan die vrou se liggaamsbeeld nie van haar geloofsidentiteit en die kwaliteit van haar huwelik losgemaak word nie - hierdie drie staan in 'n interdinamiese verband en beteken dat die verwerking van die krisis van 'n mastektomie direk van die kwaliteit van die liefdesverhouding en die ervaring van geloof, afhang. In die verwerking van die krisis vervul die geloofsfaktor 'n deurslaggewende rol om afstand tussen die emosionele trauma van die verlies en die ervaring van identiteit te skep. Die pastoraat kan 'n belangrike funksie vervul ten opsigte van begeleiding en ondersteuning in die verwerking van die krisis van 'n mastektomie deurdat dit God se aktiewe betrokkenheid by die situasie, aan die hand van die liggaamlikheid van Jesus Christus, verkondig. As terapeut kan die eggenoot begelei word om, op die gebied van die seksuele, baie sterker op die emosionele behoeftes van die mastektomiepasiënt ingestel te wees, om haar sodoende te ondersteun en in die proses van heling mee te werk.

Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the emotional impact of the diagnosis of breast cancer and mastectomy in patients of different age groups. 58 patients from the Amaral Carvalho Hospital, with breast cancer diagnosis and a mastectomy proposal (simple or radical) participated in the study. They were invited to participate in the study and, those who agreed, answered individually to the instruments: 1) Identification card and sociodemographic characterization; 2) Semi-structured interview to identify the emotional aspects; 3) Rosenberg's self-esteem scale and; 4) Hospital anxiety and depression scale. The sample was divided into three groups: group 1 - from 24 to 49 years, group 2 - from 50 to 64 years and group 3 - from 65 to 85 years. All discussions of the analytical results were performed at the 5% level of significance. Data analysis showed that there was no association of the responses to the questionnaires with age and, in the case of anxiety and depression, there was a predominance of the unlikely in all three groups. It was concluded that there were no significant differences among the three age groups, so it was not possible to prove that age is a factor that predisposes a better or worse coping of the disease and mastectomy. However, it was possible to observe that the patients who presented the lowest levels of acceptance of the mastectomy, are the ones that attribute to the breasts the esthetic and / or sexual meaning. The patients in the young group ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to examine how women perceive and live the experience of receiving a diagnostic of breast cancer. Field research involves a total of eight women who have experienced this situation, one of them being the authors self-reflection on a cancer diagnostic. A specific aspect of the present research is to identify the place that spirituality takes in the life history of the interviewed women. The State of Rio Grande do Sul presents a high rate of breast cancer. According to the agency Revistal Gaúcha de Enfermagem, breast cancer is the death main cause among women between thirty and fifty years old. Statistics of the National Cancer Institute indicates that breast cancer occupies the second place among the different sorts of cancer. Even though medicine has shown great advance in the last decades, breast cancer still continues to be a deadly disease. However, there are people who survive the fearsome and frightening fatal process caused by this disease. With cancer comes along the human finitude anxiety. The present work bases its reflection on how Eugen Drewermann and Paul Tillich describe the human existential anxiety distinguishing it from real fear. According to the authors real fear has its object defined, while existential anguish has as source of its permanent threat, the nothingness. Anguish and guilt are connected, but guilt is associated to the alienation from God. Acceptance of the existence as finite, through the courage of Being, which is an act of faith by divine grace, replaces anguish by trust in the God of Life. The authors above, both theologians, aim at interdisciplinarity. The purpose of this research is to act in collaboration with other sciences, specially with Analytical Psychology. A person in crisis working her/his interior processes might have facilitated the confident surrender to God. It is also briefly presented, according to Drewermann, how pathology evidences itself in the life of a person who, as all other persons, lacks the experience of the grace of God to his/her liberation. Concluding, the research approaches Erika Schuchartds theory formulated in the model for working through crisis in eight spiral phases.

Full textBreast cancer is one of the most feared diseases by women, because it affects not only the body anatomy but also the psychosocial aspects of the patient. At present, it is considered a chronic illness. There are a large number of people living with cancer, either in treatment, either in remission or in symptoms control. This scenario requires from Psychology a more efficient and specific approach, more interested in understanding what leads patients to greater difficulties on the different stages of treatment. Given the lack of a specific theory for Psycho-Oncology, the analysis of this research uses the theoretical proposal of Donald Woods Winnicott to assist in the understanding and interpretation of reports of women living with cancer. This research intends to investigate the psychological repercussions of patients in first remission of breast cancer. The interest behind this study arises from the practice as psychologist in the Mastology specialty. Several patients are sent to the Psychology clinic, with psychological impacts that endure beyond the presence of the disease. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study, with mixed methods approach. The sample consists of eight patients undergoing cancer treatment in Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia of São Paulo. The procedure for data collection consisted of the application of a socio-demographic form and the conduction of a semi-directed interview, following the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Scale and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BDS). This paper concludes that the end of a treatment period does not coincide with the end of the concerns with the disease. And, despite the relevance of Psycho-Oncology for the well-being of cancer patients, this research considers necessary a theoretical foundation that contextualizes the individual and promotes the understanding of her entirety, in addition to the expected consequences of the oncologic illness. It is noted the importance of a psychological assessment to understand how this patient experiences breast cancer, based on her past experience. This study aims to advance Psycho-Oncology themes and provide valuable input to Health professionals who treat patients with breast cancer

Understanding breast health from needs and conditions in a socially contextualized way can be a way to develop consistent public policies for the promotion of breast and woman health as a tool for the prevention and early detection of breast cancer through institutions and organizations committed to social development in combating the disease. The overall objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature regarding the beliefs and perceptions that healthy women have about breast cancer. The research problem arose from the observation of the psychosocioeducational difficulties of women in cases of breast cancer, as well as for preventive care and early detection of the disease, for approximately two years, in a pilot project of health intervention with emphasis on the public roles of women in the fight against breast cancer, through an intervention research with a multidisciplinary character. The method was the systematic review of literature. The initial selection of articles was done through the reading of the title and abstract, and the exclusion of duplicate results was performed by the identification of the main author. As an inclusion criterion for the analysis of the results, the strength of evidence of the selected studies was summarized and the relevance of the most interesting descriptors was considered, aiming at the accomplishment of a qualitative synthesis. From 2,926 studies found, 96.24% were mastectomized women, and 2.90% were eligible studies whose study object considers behaviors of healthy women, their beliefs, perceptions and / or knowledge about prevention and early detection of the disease . The results indicate that the production of knowledge about the problem is scarce, with consequences on the limits of changing beliefs and perceptions about breast cancer. The reassignment of healthy women on breast cancer based on correct information can increase the rate of detection of the disease, which can avoid many deaths, and reduce the expenditure of public funds with treatments for advanced diagnoses. This change in attitude makes it possible for early detection not to be seen as a threat but as the best path to health
Compreender a saúde da mama a partir das necessidades e condições de forma contextualizada socialmente pode ser uma via para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas consistentes de promoção da saúde das mamas e da mulher, como ferramenta de prevenção e detecção precoce do câncer de mama, por meio de instituições e organizações comprometidas com o desenvolvimento social em combater a doença. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi de realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura a respeito de crenças e percepções que as mulheres saudáveis possuem sobre câncer de mama. O problema de pesquisa surgiu a partir da observação das dificuldades psicossocioeducacionais de mulheres frente aos casos de câncer de mama e também para realização dos cuidados preventivos e de detecção precoce da doença, durante aproximadamente dois anos, em um projeto piloto de intervenção em saúde, com ênfase nos papéis públicos das mulheres no combate ao câncer de mama, por meio de uma pesquisa-intervenção com caráter multidisciplinar. O método foi o da revisão sistemática de literatura. A seleção inicial dos artigos se deu por meio da leitura do título e resumo, e a exclusão dos resultados duplicados foi realizada pela identificação do autor principal. Como critério de inclusão para análise dos resultados, a força de evidência dos estudos selecionados foi sumarizada e a relevância dos descritores de maior interesse foi considerada, visando a realização de uma síntese qualitativa. Entre os 2.926 estudos encontrados 96,24% tinham como objeto de estudo mulheres mastectomizadas, e 2,90% foram estudos elegíveis cujo objeto de estudo considere comportamentos de mulheres saudáveis, suas crenças, percepções e/ou conhecimentos sobre prevenção e detecção precoce da doença. Os resultados indicam que a produção de conhecimento sobre o problema é escassa, com consequências nos limites quanto à mudança de crenças e percepções sobre câncer de mama. A ressignificação da mulher saudável sobre câncer de mama com base em informações corretas pode aumentar o índice de detecção da doença, o que pode evitar muitas mortes, além de reduzir o gasto de verbas públicas com tratamentos para diagnósticos avançados. Esta mudança de atitude possibilita que a detecção precoce não seja vista mais como ameaça, mas como o melhor caminho para a saúde
