“…Our study also found moderate levels of post-traumatic growth in breast cancer patients with a score of 62.33 (16.64), which is consistent with previous studies ( Fu et al, 2022 ; Liu et al, 2022 ). In our study, breast cancer patients required adjuvant treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation after surgery, and it has been demonstrated that patients with more complex treatment modalities as well as longer treatment cycle durations suffered more psychological, physical, and financial burdens than those with a single treatment modality ( Choi et al, 2022 ).…”

“…In daily life and in public places, patients are prone to behavioral changes and other ways of concealing or disguise their body defects to avoid embarrassment when others notice their body defects ( Ettridge et al, 2022 ). Body image-related psychological change scores ranked second in the dimensions scores 22.87 (5.41), and previous studies have shown that breast cancer patients experience more severe negative psychological changes due to treatment-induced changes in appearance ( Liu et al, 2022 ). Many patients perceive that the change in body image affects attitudes or feelings about their self-image, and are disappointed with their body image ( Hoyle et al, 2022 ), and when faced with scarring in their surgical area they cannot help but associate it with the experience of the disease, even fearing that the disease may return at any time ( Wu et al, 2021 ; Phoosuwan and Lundberg, 2023 ).…”

BackgroundThe diagnosis and treatment of cancer triggers not only a negative psychological response for the patient, but also a positive psychological outcome. Positive dyadic coping, as a form of coping for mental health outcomes, can maintain or reestablish internal stability between the patient and his or her spouse, resulting in positive physical and psychological changes. However, there is a paucity of research on body image, dyadic coping, and post-traumatic growth in breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship and pathways between body image, dyadic coping, and post-traumatic growth in breast cancer patients.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2022 to November 2023 at a tertiary care hospital in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China. This study was conducted among 154 breast cancer patients treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, all of whom completed demographic and clinical information questionnaires, Body image self-rating questionnaire for breast cancer (BISQ-BC), Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) and Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). A Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between body image, dyadic coping, and post-traumatic growth. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the path relationships among the three and to explore the mediating role of dyadic coping.ResultsThe level of body image was negatively correlated with post-traumatic growth (r = −0.462, p < 0.01); and the level of body image was negatively correlated with dyadic coping (r = −0.308, p < 0.01). And dyadic coping was positively associated with post-traumatic growth (r = 0.464, p < 0.01). The structural equation modeling results supported the mediation model with the following model fit indices, chi-square to degrees of freedom ratio (χ2/df = 2.05), goodness of fit index (GFI = 0.93), comparative fit index (CFI = 0.99), canonical fit index (NFI = 0.93), incremental fit index (IFI = 0.99), non-canonical fit index (TLI = 0.99) and the root mean square of the difference in approximation error (RMSEA = 0.03). Body image and dyadic coping directly affected post-traumatic growth (β = −0.33, p < 0.05; β = 0.43, p < 0.05). And body image indirectly influenced post-traumatic growth through dyadic coping (β = −0.17, p < 0.05).ConclusionInterconnections between body image, dyadic coping, and post-traumatic growth in breast cancer patients. A preliminary validation of the mediating role of dyadic coping between body image and post-traumatic growth, body image can have an impact on dyadic coping, which in turn can have an impact on post-traumatic growth. Whereby higher levels of dyadic coping in patients may also be associated with higher levels of post-traumatic growth, whereas body image disturbance may impede levels of post-traumatic growth.

“…A comparison of previous studies showed that stage 1 and stage 2 breast cancer had a disease perception score of 32 to 35 after surgery. 43 Therefore, our survey was of reference significance. In addition, item 9 of disease perception is an open answer to the cause of disease.…”

Background Lung cancer patients will have lung damage after surgery, need rehabilitation exercise. Common-sense model has shown the impact of patients’ perception of illness on health behaviors. However, for patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery, there has been no relevant exploration of disease perception. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical status of patients with lung cancer patients who have undergone thoracoscopic surgery, and to explore the correlation between frailty, disease perception, and lung functional exercise compliance. Methods The cross-sectional study included 218 patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery. We collected participants’ frailty, disease perception, exercise adherence, and relevant clinical information. T -test, Chi-square, Linear regression, Pearson’s correlation, and mediation analysis were used for statistical analysis of patient data. Results We analyzed the data by disease perception with high and low median scores and found significant differences in lymphatic dissection, stool within three days, pain, thoracic drainage tube placement time. Linear regression results show that, after controlling for confounding factors, frailty and disease perception were significantly associated with pulmonary function exercise compliance. The higher the frailty score, the worse the compliance, and the higher the disease perception negative score, the less exercise. Illness perception played a partially mediating role in the association between frailty and lung functional exercise adherence. Conclusion Frailty and disease perception have an impact on exercise adherence, therefore, we need to consider these factors in the intervention to improve exercise compliance after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.

“…Unlike other types of cancer, BC is the only one where amputation is performed, which can be a source of negative emotions [ 14 ]. One of the main concerns of BCS is their BI, as the psychological impact is the most destructive aspect of BC [ 15 ], especially in the first year after the surgery [ 16 ]. The side effects of surgery and physical changes are the events that most affect the patient’s BI [ 17 ].…”

Body image (BI) and self-esteem (SE) are two fundamental aspects in the evolution of breast cancer (BC), mainly due to surgery, treatment, and the patient’s conception of BI. A dissatisfaction with BI and low SE decreases the subject’s quality of life and increases the risk of recurrence and mortality by BC. The aim of this study is to find out if there is any degree of association between the sociodemographic data of the sample and their BI and SE. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 198 women diagnosed with BC, aged 30–80 years, in Mexico. Women’s BI and SE were assessed using two questionnaires, Hopwood Body Image Scale (S-BIS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The results show significant differences in several items when the variable sense of humor is taken into account, indicating that women with a sense of humor report higher satisfaction with their BI and higher SE. The age also indicates a significantly better BI in women over 50 years of age, as well as the education level variable, where those women who had studied up to secondary reported higher satisfaction with their BI; the family history shows that those women without a family history report better SE. All these data are supported by stepwise regression, which shows that educational level and sense of humor are predictors of BI, and family history along with breast reconstruction and sense of humor are predictors as of SE. In conclusion, it is important to take into account the characteristics of women with BC, particularly age and sense of humor, in order to reduce the impact of the disease on their BI and SE with the help of a multidisciplinary team.
