The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a public health crisis, with increases in the number of deaths. As a result, the number of bereaved people has increased significantly. In addition, the measures adopted to control the spread of virus have triggered changes in the subjective and collective bereavement experiences. This systematic literature review aims to summarize and reinterpret the results of qualitative studies on the experience of losing family members during the pandemic by a thematic synthesis. The searches were performed in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and LILACS databases. Among 602 articles identified, 14 were included. Evidence was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool. Two descriptive themes related to the objective were elaborated in addition to one analytical theme, namely: “Pandemic grief: lonely and unresolved”. These themes proved to be interrelated and indicate that experiences of loss in this context were negatively impacted by the imperatives of physical distance, restriction of hospital visits, technology-mediated communication, and prohibition or restriction of funerals. These changes resulted in experiences marked by feelings of loneliness and helplessness, which should be considered when planning intervention strategies that favor communication between family members with the afflicted loved one and with the health care team, enabling welcoming and creating alternatives for farewell rituals. The findings may support further research to test intervention protocols, especially to guide public policies and promote psychological support to bereaved family members after their loss.

“…11 Whilst more prospective surveillance is needed to track each dimension of body image and associated burden from diagnosis onward, 12 a meta-synthesis of 40 qualitative studies demonstrates that women's body image can be negatively affected due to feeling incomplete, and that whilst some women experience resignation and learn to live with changes to their body image, others experience suffering. 13 These data make a compelling case for the need to develop psychosocial interventions to enhance body image to improve patient reported outcomes that cause psychological distress and interfere with quality of life among women diagnosed with breast cancer.…”

“…Body image is a multidimensional construct comprised of perceptual (e.g., accuracy of body size estimation relative to actual size), attitudinal (e.g., subjective (dis)satisfaction of the body), affective (e.g., feelings associated with the body), cognitive (e.g., investment in appearance beliefs about the body), and behavioral (e.g., compensatory behaviors such as dieting) dimensions 11 .

ObjectiveThis systematic review aimed to summarize evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of psychosocial interventions for body image among women diagnosed with breast cancer and the study methods used to evaluate the interventions in question.MethodsArticles were identified via MEDLINE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, PsychINFO, and EMBASE. Inclusion criteria were: (1) peer‐reviewed publication in English from 2000 onward with accessible full‐text, (2) reported data on the feasibility and/or acceptability of psychosocial interventions and/or study methods, (3) included at least one measure of body image or reported a body‐related theme, and (4) sample comprised women diagnosed with breast cancer. All study designs were eligible. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment.ResultsSixty‐two articles were included. Participants and comparator groups varied as did interventions. Feasibility and acceptability of the interventions and study methods were inconsistently operationalized and reported across studies. Evidence of feasibility and acceptability was heterogeneous within and across studies, though mostly positive.ConclusionPublished psychosocial interventions for body image and study methods are generally feasible and acceptable. Findings should be used to advance the development, implementation, and evaluation of interventions designed to improve outcomes (body image or otherwise) for women diagnosed with breast cancer.Systematic review registrationThis review was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; ID: CRD42021269062, 11 September 2021).

“…O diagnóstico do câncer de mama é acompanhado de um longo processo de adaptação à vida da mulher e de aceitação de si mesma, embora, tenha ocorrido redução na mortalidade, através dos avanços no tratamento, nos últimos anos (NAROD, 2015). Vale ressaltar que se reconhece uma variedade de mudanças corporais vivenciadas por mulheres com câncer de mama, antes, durante e após o tratamento, as quais podem afetar profundamente a forma como elas percebem seus corpos (RODRIGUES et al, 2022).…”

As neoplasias mamárias são a principal causa de mortalidade por câncer em mulheres no Brasil, e seu tratamento, mesmo que bem sucedido, tem grande impacto na autoestima das pacientes. Estudos mostraram que a quimioterapia, a terapia hormonal e a cirurgia podem causar alterações no corpo que interrompem o comportamento sexual e promovem a disfunção sexual em vários estágios da libido, da excitação, da lubrificação e do orgasmo. Com isso, o presente estudo buscou revisar, através de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa, os principais efeitos que a neoplasia mamária seguida de mastectomia tem no comportamento sexual feminino. Para isso, a busca de dados nas plataformas digitais foi limitada para estudos publicados entre o período de 2011 a 2021. Foi possível observar então que, de fato, a mastectomia é uma das principais causas da disfunção sexual de mulheres, principalmente acima dos 55 anos acometidas pelo câncer de mama e que a fase sexual do desejo e do orgasmo são as mais afetadas.
