“…One of these studies [ 75 ], apart from the use of BIS, assessed BI with such other instruments as the Appearance Evaluation Subscale (MBSRQ) [ 85 ]; the Weigh and Shape Concern Subscales (EDE-Q) [ 86 ]; the Social Activities and Clothing Subscales (BIAQ) [ 87 ]; the Body Appreciation Scale [ 88 ]; the Cognitive Reappraisal Subscale (PARCA) [ 89 ]; and the Body-Related Self-Care Scale: Attitude Scale [ 89 ]. Besides, one of the studies [ 35 ] evaluates BI with the Body Image Questionnaire after Breast Cancer (BIBC) in the Brazilian adaptation [ 90 ]. The use of the Body Cathexis Scale (BCS) [ 91 ] in the cosmetic program education was also observed [ 77 ], and an adapted version of the Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation Systems (CARES) [ 92 ] in the Education and Peer Discussion group interventions [ 74 ].…”

“…However, there is no such consensus and high variability in employed instruments regarding the BI variable. Although half of the studies [ 9 , 75 , 76 , 78 ] used the BIS [ 80 ], which was created specifically for BC patients, the others evaluated BI with other scales, i.e., the BIBCQ [ 90 ], the BCS [ 91 ], the CARES [ 92 ], and the BWB [ 84 ]. Moreover, one of the studies [ 75 ], apart from the BIS, also assessed BI with the MBSR [ 85 ], the EDE-Q [ 86 ], the BIAQ [ 87 ], the Body Appreciation Scale [ 88 ], the PARCA [ 89 ], and the Body-Related Self-Care Scale: Attitude Scale [ 89 ].…”

Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common neoplasm in women worldwide, considered a global public health problem. Among BC women, some of the most common psychological symptoms in the adaptation to the disease are reduction in self-esteem and distorted body image (BI). Although there are numerous studies with the goal of promoting different psychological variables, BI and self-esteem are often separately observed despite their relationship and their importance in the process of the illness. Moreover, there have been no reviews that have synthesized the findings related to interventions aimed at enhancing both self-esteem and BI in BC women. Therefore, the objective of this review was to identify and examine the implemented interventions aimed at boosting both variables in this population. For this purpose, a systematic review was implemented following the PRISMA statement. A thorough search was performed on the following databases: Web of Science, PubMed, PsychInfo, PsychArticles, and Scopus. Among 287 records, only eight articles met the eligibility criteria. Interventions were grouped into three types according to their characteristics: Group therapies, Physical activity therapies, and Cosmetic and beauty treatments. The levels of effectiveness of the different interventions varied between them, and within each, in their impact on self-esteem and BI. More interventions focused on developing BI and self-esteem in this population are needed due to their ability to predict psychological functioning and quality of life of women with breast cancer.

“…The Body Image After BC questionnaire was developed by Baxter et al 16 and translated, validated, and culturally adapted in Brazil by Gonçalves et al 17 It is a specific instrument used to verify the perception of body image after a BC diagnosis. The questionnaire is composed of 44 questions divided into six scales: vulnerability, body stigma, limitations, body concerns, transparency, and arm concerns.…”

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.

“…El disfrute de la relación sexual no está en relación al tipo de cirugía mamaria, sino por la valoración o evaluación de la IC y su preocupación por seguir siendo atractivas sexualmente, especialmente si se consideran estar bajo el estigma de padecer cáncer, aun incluso después de haber terminado el tratamiento aversivo (Gonçalves et al, 2014;Lyngholm et al, 2013;Rincón et al, 2012). En general, al inicio puede haber dificultades en la sexualidad de las mujeres con CaMa (Barsotti & Meloni, 2011;Moreira et al, 2011), la pérdida del cabello y cambios de peso les hace sentirse menos atractivas (Vázquez-Ortiz et al, 2010) y con menos deseo sexual (Fobair et al, 2006), pero también ellas manifiestan que cambian sus hábitos para vestirse, al evitar mostrarse desnudas (Lyngholm et al, 2013).…”

RESUMENLa imagen corporal (IC) es la representación subjetiva de la percepción, evaluación, valoración y vivencia del cuerpo que proporciona el sentido de sí mismo como una totalidad. Es afectada cuando existen enfermedades oncológicas que implican cambios corporales. En esta revisión sistemática se identificaron instrumentos susceptibles de usarse en Latinoamérica para evaluar la IC de mujeres con cáncer de mama, analizando 34 artículos publicados en inglés y español del periodo 2004-2014 en bases de libre acceso. Instrumentos originados en Europa y Estados Unidos, tales como la Escala de Imagen Corporal de Hopwood y el módulo QLQ BR 23, desarrollado por la Organización Europea para Investigación y Tratamiento en Cáncer (EORTC), con buenas características psicométricas de validez y confiabilidad, se han utilizado en población latinoamericana. Se valora cómo la IC de mujeres con cáncer de mama afecta su sexualidad, las relaciones de pareja, su autoestima, los estilos de afrontamiento y calidad de vida.Palabras clave cáncer; evaluación; imagen corporal; instrumentos psicométricos.
