“…This is a new contribution to understand how emotional well-being on breast cancer patients is damaged. Normally, results of investigations have demonstrated a direct relationship between body image and well-being; but the present investigation shows that there are variables mediating this connection, as some current authors (Miller et al, 2014;Przezdziecki et al, 2013;Ridolfi & Crowther, 2013).…”

“…Self-efficacy is related to with a better psychological adjustment, self-esteem, wellbeing and adaptation to chronic illness (Compas y Luecken, 2002;Han et al, 2005;Karademas et al, 2007;Lam & Fielding, 2006;Rogers et al, 2008;Taylor et al, 1984;Zachariae et al, 2003). In an interesting study, results showed that self-efficacy could moderate the relationship between body image disturbances and cancer screening behaviors (Ridolfi & Crowther, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT. Self-concept is a multi-dimensional factor that includes variables as body image, self-esteem and self-efficacy. Patients suffering from breast cancer present alterations in their self-concept and it affects the emotional well-being. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between variables of self-concept and emotional well-being. Methods: The sample consisted in 131 women diagnosed with breast cancer. The questionnaires used were HADS, RSES, BIS and a monoitem based in Bandura´s theory. Once the data was collected, they were coded in a database and subsequently analyzed using SPSS and for the structural model was used EQS 6.1 program. Results: Emotional well-being is influenced by alterations on self-concept. Patients who had more alterations in body image and less self-esteem and self-efficacy, had higher levels of anxiety and depression. Moreover, self-esteem and self-efficacy were mediating the relationship between body image and emotional well-being. Conclusions: This study provides evidence for mediating variables of self-concept that affect the emotional well-being of breast cancer patients and they can explain the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Los pacientes que padecen cáncer de mama presentan alteraciones en su auto-concepto y éste afecta al bienestar emocional. El propósito de este estudio es analizar la relación entre las variables del auto-concepto y el bienestar emocional. Método: la muestra de estudio consistió en 131 mujeres diagnosticadas con cáncer de mama. Los cuestionarios utilizados fueron HADS, RSES, BIS y un mono-ítem basado en la teoría de Bandura. Una vez los datos fueron recogidos, fueron codificados y analizados mediante el SPSS y para el modelo estructural se utilizó el programa EQS 6.1. Resultados: el bienestar emocional está influido por las alteraciones en el auto-concepto. Los pacientes que tenían mayores alteraciones en su imagen corporal y menor auto-estima y auto-eficacia, tenían mayores niveles de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. Además la auto-estima y la auto-valía estaban mediando la relación entre la imagen corporal y el bienestar emocional.

“…Diversas investigaciones han demostrado la influencia negativa de la INC en distintas enfermedades crónicas (Fallon, Harris y Johnson, 2014;Ridolfi y Crowther, 2013), una vez que se asocia con menor probabilidad de dejar de fumar (King, Matacin, White y Marcus, 2005), de realizarse el autoexamen de mamas o de acudir a consulta ginecológica (Ridolfi y Crowther, 2013), lo que puede retrasar el diagnóstico temprano de cáncer. En términos de salud mental, además de los bien conocidos trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA), distintos estudios han documentado asociación entre la INC y diversas problemáticas, como son: ansiedad social, extrema vergüenza por el propio cuerpo, intimidad sexual reducida y depresión (Cash, Theriault y Annis, 2004;Jackson et al, 2014;Tiggemann y Lynch, 2001).…”

The aims of this research were to estimate the percentage of body weight dissatisfaction in males and females Chilean adults, assessing its relationship with different sociodemographic, behavioral and psychological variables, and analyzing whether the presence of body weight dissatisfaction acts as a risk factor for some disordered eating behaviors. The 654 participants (436 women, 218 men; age range 18-64 years, mean body mass index [BMI] 25.49 kg/m 2 ) were evaluated with a battery of self-administered questionnaires. The percentage of body weight dissatisfaction in the whole sample was 45.9% and significantly higher in women than men. Significant differences were observed in the clinical scales that evaluated disordered eating in function of the BMI of the participants; in those scales females also showed higher scores than males. Comparing participants with and without body weight dissatisfaction, the first one showed more unhealthy eating behaviors. The results of this study show how body weight dissatisfaction can interact and influence healthy habits, such as a daily eating behaviors and physical exercise.

“…Body image is a multidimensional construct which refers to how individual experiences or assesses his or her body in which its disturbance can be demonstrated as dysfunctional perceptions, cognitions, emotions, or behaviors that affect the quality of life (Cash and Henry, 1995;Cash and Deagle, 1997;Cash and Smolak, 2011;Ridolfi and Crowther, 2013). Body image disturbance may play a role in at least some cancer screening behaviors (Ridolfi and Crowther, 2013).…”

“…Body image disturbance may play a role in at least some cancer screening behaviors (Ridolfi and Crowther, 2013). A critical review of the literature investigating the relationship between body image and cancer screening behaviors was conducted by Ridolfi Crowther (2013) which revealed that a group of lesbian women admitted never engaging in breast self-examinations due to lack of motivations for doing these behaviors (Fish and Wilkinson, 2003).…”

This study aimed to examine the relationship between body image satisfaction and breast self-screening behaviors and intentions. The sample for this cross-sectional study consisted of 842 female university students who were recruited from a number of public and private universities. Data were obtained between the months of November and December, 2013, using multistage random cluster sampling. Main research variables were breast cancer screening behavior and intentions, demographic factors, and the total scores on each of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ-Appearance Scales) subscales. Results of multivariate analysis showed that having higher satisfaction and more positive evaluation of appearance were related to having performed breast self-examination more frequently in the last year and intending to perform breast self-examination more frequently in the next year. Longitudinal research can potentially provide detailed information about overall body image satisfaction and breast cancer screening behavior among various communities.
