“…Personality traits also had significant effects on the patient's overall quality of life after breast reconstruction, specially neuroticism . This personality trait has previously been reported as a risk factor for overall quality of life in the general population . This finding suggests that these characteristics should be carefully evaluated before surgery so that precise referrals can be made to psycho‐oncology units to help these patients develop better coping mechanisms.…”

“…32 This personality trait has previously been reported as a risk factor for overall quality of life in the general population. 60 This finding suggests that these characteristics should be carefully evaluated before surgery so that precise referrals can be made to psycho-oncology units to help these patients develop better coping mechanisms. The same principle should be applied when depressive symptoms are present before reconstruction, since this review also suggested that this variable is negatively associated with physical, role, emotional, and cognitive function after this procedure.…”

Objective The aim of this study is to present a broader perspective of factors affecting the quality of life after postmastectomy breast reconstruction in women with breast cancer by considering these patients' self‐reported outcomes. Methods The search was performed from 29 March to 19 April 2019, on the following databases: PsycInfo; Web of Science Core Collection, Current Contents Connect, Derwent Innovations Index, KCI‐Korean Journal Database, Russian Science Citation Index, SciELO Citation Index, and MEDLINE. The studies were included if they identified factors affecting self‐reported quality of life after breast reconstruction, in women with breast cancer. Results One hundred and twenty‐two records were identified. After quality assessment, 44 studies were included for qualitative synthesis. This review comprised a total of 16 683 women who underwent breast reconstruction. The results identified a broad collection of 32 empirically based variables associated with several domains of quality of life. These variables were grouped into four categories: (a) surgical, (b) clinical, (c) psychosocial, and (d) sociodemographic variables. Conclusions This systematic review goes beyond surgical factors of morbidity and uses patient‐reported outcomes to scope wider issues that influence quality of life, such as psychosocial and sociodemographic variables. It sustains the need to adopt a more holistic approach and advises the consideration of preoperative psychosocial factors to better understand these patients' quality of life after breast reconstruction and to implement future preventive measures.

“…Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer in women in the Western world [1]. Although the prognosis has dramatically improved, BC still causes considerable physical and psychological consequences for many women [2][3][4][5][6]. Receiving a BC diagnosis means emotional turmoil for the patient, although the reactions may differ due to, e.g., the personal stability of the individual [2].…”

“…Previous studies have shown that BC has a major impact on women's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) when measured by valid instruments, e.g., the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Breast Cancer (FACT-B) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) [3]. As the incidence of BC increases and survivors live longer, HRQoL has become an increasingly important outcome measure for BC patients [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Purpose Psychological resilience appears to be an important influencing factor in various aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a context of adversity, e.g., being informed of a cancer diagnosis. The purpose was to investigate psychological resilience and health-related quality of life in Swedish women with newly diagnosed breast cancer in relation to demographic and clinicopathological characteristics.Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted including 517 women with breast cancer in the South Swedish Health Care Region. Participants were enrolled at the time of consultation for the diagnosis. Psychological resilience was assessed with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC25), and HRQoL was assessed with the Short Form Health Survey. The participants responded to questions regarding demographic variables. Clinicopathological data were collected from the Swedish National Quality Register for Breast Cancer.Results The mean score for psychological resilience was 70.6, identifying 15% of included patients with a score lower than 58 (-1 standard deviation). The study cohort had significantly lower mean scores for several aspects of HRQoL compared with Swedish normative data. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that psychological resilience was significantly associated with all domains of HRQoL after adjustment for demographic and clinicopathological factors.Conclusions Higher levels of psychological resilience were significantly related to higher levels of HRQoL in Swedish women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and no modifying factor was identified. The assessment of psychological resilience at the time of breast cancer diagnosis might allow for early identification of women in need of more intense psychosocial support. Future studies are needed to identify a clinically relevant threshold of the CD-RISC25.

“…Ponadto, u chorych na nowotwory jakość życia zależy od cech osobowości pacjenta. Wykazano, że ekstrawertyzm u kobiet chorych na nowotwory piersi powoduje niższy poziom lęku i depresji oraz lepszą jakość życia, która jest obniżona u kobiet z neurotyzmem [39]. Poziom lęku i depresji warunkuje stan funkcjonalny kobiet z rakiem piersi.…”

Jakość życia pacjentek z rozpoznaniem nowotworu piersiQuality of life in patients diagnosed with breast cancer Streszczenie Rak piersi stanowi drugą co do częstości przyczynę zgonów spowodowanych przez nowotwory złośliwe u kobiet. Rak piersi we wczesnych stadiach rozwoju nie wywołuje objawów, jednak w okresie zaawansowanej choroby powoduje liczne objawy fizyczne, ale także zaburza funkcjonowanie w sferze psychologicznej, społecznej, rodzinnej, seksualnej i duchowej. Jakość życia związana ze stanem zdrowia stanowi najważniejszy aspekt życia każdego człowieka. Kobiety z rozpoznaniem raka piersi cechuje obniżona jakość życia, w porównaniu z populacją zdrową. Ocena jakości życia kobiet z rakiem piersi, jako chorobą dającą odległe skutki, jest niezwykle istotna, również dla powodzenia leczenia przeciwnowotworowego i objawowego. Wśród czynników warunkujących jakość życia wymieniane są 4 grupy: zmienne socjodemograficzne, zmienne kliniczne, czynniki psychosocjalne i przekonania zdrowotne. Ocena jakości życia pozwala dobrać korzystne dla pacjentki leczenie, a poziom jakości życia posiada także znaczenie rokownicze. Interwencje mające na celu poprawę jakości życia mogą wydłużyć czas przeżycia kobiet z rakiem piersi. AbstractBreast cancer is the second most common cause of death caused by malignant tumors in women. Initially, breast cancer does not give symptoms, but then it manifests itself not only with unpleasant physical and mental symptoms, but also disturbs functioning in the social, family or sexual sphere. The quality of life associated with the state of health is the most important aspect of every human life. Unfortunately, women with breast cancer still have a reduced quality of life in relation to the healthy population. Assessing the quality of life of women with breast cancer as a disease with long-term effects is extremely important also for the success of the therapy. Among the determinants of quality of life 4 groups are mentioned: sociodemographic variables, clinical variables, psychosocial factors and health convictions. The assessment of quality of life allows us to choose a treatment beneficial for the patient and also has prognostic importance. Interventions to improve the quality of life can increase the survival of women with breast cancer. Palliat Med Pract 2018; 12, 3: 143-150
