“…well-being/uneasiness linked to the emotional and affective sphere (psychological well-being) is highlighted. These results are in line with the other studies, which have individually assessed some of the dimensions of psychological well-being recording a reduction in depression, anxiety and an improvement in the state of health [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. Since the results are not homogenous and, in some researches [12,[57][58][59], the patients continued to feel uneasiness linked to the emotional and affective sphere in the post-operative stage, the aesthetic correction procedure lead to positive psychological benefits in most patients.…”

Objective: This preliminary study intends to investigate the role of distress relating to body image in conditioning the levels of post-operatory patient benefit both the impact of cosmetic surgery on the state of psychological well-being and body image through the analysis of the differences between the pre and post-operative stages. Methods: The study lasted 12 months and it occurred in two stages, a pre-operative stage (N=85) and a post-operative stage (N=85). The patients, subjected to different aesthetic operations, were administered the Body Uneasiness Test, Psychological General Well-Being Index -Short version in both the stages and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory in the post-operative phase. Results: The post-operative patient benefit was conditioned by the existence of clinically significant distress related to body image in the pre-operative stage, in accordance with the degree of severity; the operation had a positive impact on both the state of distress linked to psychological well-being and that relating to body image but, in the latter case, the improvement of distress depends on severity; all the patients with a body image disorder in the pre-operative stage continued to show this even after 12 months. Conclusions: A careful assessment of body image and its disorders in the stage before the operation may allow the identification of patients who may be dissatisfied by the outcome of the operation.

ResumenObjetivo: Estudiar la imagen corporal que construyen las pacientes diagnosticadas de cáncer de mama tras someterse a intervención quirúrgica, mastectomía radical y cirugía conservadora, tanto en lo referente a aspectos corporales relacionados directamente con la lesión como a zonas corporales no relacionadas, e investigar cómo esa imagen afecta a la autoestima centrada en lo corporal.Método: Contamos con una muestra de 23 pacientes (12 mujeres mastectomizadas y 11 con cirugía conservadora) y 24 mujeres sanas que sirvieron como grupo control. El instrumento de evaluación utilizado es la Técnica de la Rejilla Corporal. Se analizaron las diferencias entre los grupos mediante ANOVA de un factor y las pruebas no paramétricas H de Kruskal Wallis y U de Mann-Whitney.Resultados y conclusiones: Los resultados del estudio han permitido identificar qué aspectos son los más dañados en la autoestima y autoimagen de las pacientes, estableciendo que no existen diferencias significativas en la imagen corporal global y la autoestima centrada en lo corporal entre mujeres mastectomizadas y mujeres sometidas a cirugía conservadora, aunque sí en la imagen que se tiene de las zonas corporales específicamente implicadas en la cirugía. Sí se han encontrado diferencias entre estos dos grupos y el grupo de mujeres sanas en imagen corporal global y autoestima. Los resultados obtenidos permitirán identificar los aspectos de la imagen corporal más afectados Abstract Aim: To study the body image built by patients with breast cancer after surgery, radical mastectomy and partial mastectomy, related to body parts directly involved in surgery and not directly related to it, and to investigate how this image affects bodily selfesteem.Method: Our sample comprised 23 patients (12 had been subjected to radical mastectomy and 11 to partial mastectomy) and 24 healthy women (they served as control group). Participants were assessed with the Body Grid technique. We analyzed the differences between groups using one way ANOVA and non-parametric tests (namely, H de Kruskal Wallis and U de Mann-Whitney).Results: Our findings allowed us to identify which were the most damaged aspects about self-esteem and body image in these patients, showing that there were no significant differences in body image and bodily selfesteem between patients subjected to radical and partial mastectomy. However, we found significant differences between body parts directly involved in surgery and those not directly related to it. Finally, we found significant differences between both groups of patients and the control group regarding body image and self-esteem.Conclusions: Our results show that the Body Grid Technique is helpful to identify the most affected aspects of body image in patients subjected to mastectomy and tailor

“…Die Patienten seien neurotisch oder narziss− tisch und deshalb eher Kandidaten für die Couch des Psychiaters als für den Operationstisch. Spätere Untersuchungen, die auf kli− nischen Interviews basierten, kamen zum Schluss, dass die Mehrzahl der Patienten psychisch auffällig war, meist im Sinne einer Persönlichkeitsstörung [31,32,40]. Studien mit standardi− sierten psychometrischen Methoden deuteten auf eine erhöhte Prävalenz von neurotischen und obsessiven Störungen [41].…”
