“…Contrary to our expectation, the current intervention had no differential effect on body image as both groups reported similar increases over time. While these results indeed were in line with one recent study, positive effects on body image have been documented previously in breast cancer patients receiving a beauty care intervention within 1‐week postsurgery, pointing towards the need for interventions to be carried out close to the onset of cancer treatment to have an effect on body image satisfaction as well. Thus, body image effects of the current intervention may be attenuated by the longer duration between diagnosis and intervention.…”

“…The few studies that examined both short‐ and longer‐term effects of beauty care produced mixed findings. For example, although beauty care treatment increased body image satisfaction after surgery, these improvements did not persist to 3 months later . Similarly, immediate decreases in distress and increases in stress coping have recently been documented, but no differences were found at 1‐month follow‐up.…”

Objective Medical cancer treatment is often accompanied by appearance‐related side effects such as hair loss, skin irritation, and paleness, which can subsequently lead to psychosocial distress. Initial evidence suggests that beauty care interventions may reduce distress and improve quality of life (QoL), body image, and self‐esteem immediately. Methods We investigated the effects of a brief beauty care intervention on self‐reported symptoms of depression, quality of life, body image, and self‐esteem in 39 female primary breast cancer patients with appearance‐related treatment side effects. Patients were randomly assigned either to an immediate intervention group (IG) or to a wait‐list control (WL). The intervention consisted of a single‐session group makeup workshop, a photo shooting, and of receiving professionally edited portrait and upper‐body photos. Results While groups did not differ regarding any measure at the pretreatment baseline assessment, IG patients reported less symptoms of depression, higher QoL, and higher self‐esteem compared with baseline and compared with WL. Follow‐up at 8 weeks indicated moderate stability of these improvements. Conclusions In contrast to previous research, results indicate beneficial short‐term and midterm effects of beauty care on psychological outcomes in patients with early breast cancer. These results emphasize the utility of this type of brief, low‐cost intervention in women undergoing medical cancer treatment in order to improve their well‐being.

“…Little by little, this discipline established itself within the framework of comprehensive patient care and especially with the French National Cancer Plan 2014-2019. The few evaluations of this kind of practices were experiments carried out in oncology [6][7][8][9][10] . Two-and-a-half years ago, we started a socio-aesthetic experiment with patients hospitalized in different wards.…”

“…It is recommended however that the instrument regarding body image be completed before and after treatment as many women have a distorted self image preceding therapy and then adaptive therapeutic intervention could then be applied. The role of interventions such as body beauty treatments to body image [54] and exercise need [55] in breast cancer patients needs to be evaluated further.…”

Introduction: The aim of this work is to assess the role of the breast cancer (BC) specific Patient Concerns Inventory (PCI) in the identification of body image concerns in breast cancer patients. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey, using the BC specific PCI with an established breast cancer HRQOL measure (EORTC C30 with BR23). Results: Survey responses were obtained from 80% (200/249) of participants. There was significant correlation between the number of body image related items selected and the number of PCI items selected in other PCI domains, the total number of other PCI items selected and the total number of health professionals selected. Conclusions: The breast cancer specific PCI can be use as a screening tool for body image as well as for a range of other issues in order to identify a subgroup of patients that would benefit from focus interventions.
