“…Indian studies also supported the present study where women expressed fears about possible change in body image, sexual dysfunction and discomfort [QOL Domain 2]. [20][21][22][23] Permanent surgical procedure like hysterectomy will invariably influence the sexual functioning of the women who are subjected to it. Indian as well as Western studies report that removal of uterus would result in sexual dysfunction, low self-confidence and the belief that their spouses would not be interested in them anymore, which leads to interpersonal problems, impaired body image and reduction in quality of life, 11,18,19 which is in accordance with the present study.…”

“…Most studies on women coping with breast cancer have focused on the implications of surgical treatment, the assumption being that the more trauma to the body, the more severe the psychological distress (Moyer, 1997), especially in matters relating to body image (Fobair et al., 2006; Frierson, 2003; Hill & White, 2008; Thomas-MacLean, 2005), sexual function (Marshall & Kiemle, 2005; Wilmoth, 2001), anxiety, depression (e.g., Farooqi, 2005; Montazeri, 2008; Schlegel, Manning, Molix, Talley, & Bettencourt, 2012), and quality of life (Harcourt & Rumsey, 2001).…”

This article represents findings of a qualitative analysis of interviews with women age 30 to 64 years ( n = 14) who had undergone immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) following mastectomy. The purpose of the study was to explore women’s experiences for electing IBR. According to our analysis, women experienced mastectomy as a disability, and their expectations of IBR to restore their sense of normalcy were not fulfilled. Most women perceived the reconstructed breast mainly as a visual replacement. Women’s experience formed a continuous narrative from the moment of diagnosis, through mastectomy until the completion of the reconstruction.

“…Manganiello et al (2011) stated that a mastectomy negatively changes patients' self-image and self-esteem and, consequently, causes depression and anxiety. Some patients may experience more severe changes, particularly in body image, after a mastectomy (Farooqi, 2005;Han et al, 2010;Karakoyun-Celik et al, 2010;Manganiello et al, 2011). Previous studies also found that mood disturbance may negatively influence the QOL of patients with breast cancer (Ferrans & Powers, 1992;Karakoyun-Celik et al, 2010;Uzun, Aslan, Selimen, & Koc, 2004;Weitzner et al, 1997).…”

This study was conducted to examine mood state and quality of life (QOL) in patients who had undergone a mastectomy. The study used a descriptive design and was conducted in outpatient oncology clinics in northeastern Iran. Using the Profile of Mood States and the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index, the mood state and QOL of patients who had undergone a mastectomy were examined. The results indicate that participants had low mood state and QOL; in addition, a negative correlation was found between the two. The mood state was a predictor of participants' QOL. A screening system for patients who have undergone a mastectomy may help nurses evaluate patients' mood states, identify the symptoms of mood disturbances, and refer patients to the appropriate support services.
