“…In some cases, the patient avoids social relationships because the disease makes them feel ugly or embarrassed. This is more pronounced in women with breast cancer because they not only lose their hair and eyebrow but also the form of their bodies changes [33].…”

Objectives: The present research has been carried out to investigate the effectiveness of group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on modification of body image and quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy. Materials:This research is a quasi-experimental study (pretest-posttest with control). In this clinical trial, 50 voluntary patients who had undergone mastectomy in 2013 and 2014 were screened among the patients admitted to Omid Hospital and Reza Treatment Center in Mashhad and were randomly divided into experimental group (n=25) and control group (n=25). First, both groups were pretested. Then, the experimental group received group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy treatments during eight sessions of 120 minutes (one session per week), but the control group received no treatment. At the end of treatment, both groups received the post-test. Data collection tools included standard questionnaires EROTIC QLQ-Br 23.V.3 and the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). The data were analyzed based on covariance analysis using SPSS software (Version 20). Results:Comparison of the mean scores of quality of life and body image showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups after receiving the treatment (P<0.01). In other words, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was effective on the quality of life and modification of body image in patients.Discussion: Group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be considered as an effective and efficient approach to the quality of life and modification of body image in women with breast cancer who have undergone mastectomy.

“…Surgery alone is often quite effective, but in advanced stages of tissue development, surgery might be used with other treatment approaches such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Research has shown that it is not necessary to remove the whole breast in many cases; instead, local surgery might be effective in removing the tumor [33].…”

Resumo: A Psicologia da Saúde é uma área em expansão no Brasil e no mundo, se revelando como um campo de muitas possibilidades de atuação para o psicólogo, sendo o trabalho no hospital uma delas. Conhecer o cenário atual no que se refere ao perfil do psicólogo hospitalar e as abordagens teórico-metodológicas utilizadas neste contexto pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento da área. O objetivo deste estudo é a realização de um levantamento do perfil profissional de psicólogos da saúde que exercem atividades em instituições hospitalares nacionais. Participaram da pesquisa 125 psicólogos da saúde que atuam em hospital geral e foi utilizado como instrumento o Questionário de Pesquisa Acadêmica e Profissional. Os resultados gerais mostram que a maioria se encontra na região sudeste (62,4%), possui cursos de pós-graduação na área da saúde (77,6%), trabalha em hospitais públicos (70,4%), costuma participar de congressos e eventos científicos (88%), atua no setor de internação (84%) e ambulatório (60%), enquanto as emergências parecem ainda "suspirar" pelo atendimento contínuo deste profissional (28%). Quanto à clientela atendida, grande parte dos profissionais tem como foco de atuação no hospital tanto os pacientes (92,8%), quanto a família (88%) e a equipe (64%). Diante desse perfil, conclui-se que a Psicologia Hospitalar parece se desenvolver de forma positiva no Brasil, observando-se que os profissionais estão buscando aprimoramento na área. Sabe-se, no entanto, que são necessários alguns avanços, principalmente no que tange à inserção deste profissional nas unidades de saúde do país. Palavras-chave: Medicina do Comportamento.

It has proven to be an area with many possibilities for psychologists, and working in hospitals is just one of the many opportunities available. A clear understanding of the current profile of psychologists who work in hospitals as well as of the theoretical and methodological approaches used in this context can contribute to the development of the field. This study aimed to conduct a survey of the professional profile of health psychologists who work at Brazilian hospitals. One hundred and twenty-five health psychologists working in general hospitals participated in this research. The Academic and Professional Research Survey was used as an instrument to get a descriptive overview of the current health psychologists. Overall results indicate that the majority of the sample (62.4%) was from the southeast region of Brazil. Furthermore, most of the participants were graduates in the field related to health (77.6%), worked in public hospitals (70.4%), used to participate in conferences and scientific events (88%), and worked at inpatient care settings (84%) and at outpatient clinics (60%). Emergency rooms (28%) still seem to lack the continuous care from these specific professionals. Concerning the population that these participants assisted, the ...
