“…Most participants in this study experienced traumatic or cancer-related LLL, which may have unique implications with respect to body image and perception given both cancer and traumatic physical injuries are associated with negative body image [48][49][50] and distorted body perception. 51,52 Regardless of etiology, however, all acquired amputations result in a significant change in body structure and experience, 1 which may similarly affect body image and perception.…”

Background Following lower‐limb amputation, phantom limb pain (i.e., pain perceived as coming from the amputated portion of the limb) is common. Phantom limb pain may be associated with impaired body image and perception, which may be targets for rehabilitative intervention. Objective To compare measures of body image and perception between adults with and without phantom limb pain post amputation and evaluate associations between measures of body image and perception and phantom limb pain. Design Survey. Setting Online, remote assessment. Participants Seventy‐two adults ≥1 year post unilateral lower‐limb loss (n = 42 with phantom limb pain, n = 30 without phantom limb pain or pain in the remaining portion of the limb). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Self‐reported outcome measures assessing body image (i.e., Amputee Body Image Scale‐Revised), perceptual disturbances associated with the phantom limb (i.e., a modified Bath Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Body Perception Disturbance Scale), and prosthesis satisfaction (i.e., Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale) were administered; participants with phantom limb pain reported pain interference via the Brief Pain Inventory‐Short Form. Between‐group comparisons of self‐reported outcome measure scores were conducted using Mann Whitney U or chi‐square tests, as appropriate (a = .05). Results Compared to peers without phantom limb pain, adults with phantom limb pain reported more negative body image; increased phantom limb ownership, attention, and awareness; and reduced prosthesis satisfaction and embodiment (U = 175.50–364.00, p < .001 to .034). Disturbances in phantom limb perception (i.e., size, weight, pressure, temperature) were similar between groups (p = .086 to >.999). More negative body image was associated with increased phantom limb pain interference (τb = .25, p = .026). Conclusions Adults with phantom limb pain demonstrate more negative body image and hypervigilance of the phantom limb as compared to peers with nonpainful phantom sensations. Mind‐body treatments that target impaired body image and perception may be critical interventions for adults with phantom limb pain.

“…A study done by Bahrami et al, (2017) states that body image disturbances occur in most cancer patients irrespective of cancer type, treatment methods, or duration of illness. Thus, this proves that it is crucial to assess body image disturbance in cancer patients to provide intervention for any type of cancer including breast cancer.…”

Evidence suggests that breast cancer can have a very significant impact on body image in females. Various issues regarding breast cancer and its treatment are faced by patients across the globe which includes poor body image, strained relationships, physical symptoms, psychological distress, etc. However, there are fewer high-quality reviews that study and examine body image, interpersonal relationship, and hope among cancer patients from a global perspective. Therefore, to summarize the evidence of relation of these exposures to breast cancer in females, this systematic review was conducted. A database search on studies published between 2013 and 2023 led to the inclusion of n=26 studies. Prisma chart was implemented in the methodology of this systematic review. Body image dissatisfaction, psychological issues (depression, anxiety, stress), poor interpersonal relationships, hopelessness, etc. were commonly observed in patients suffering from breast cancer globally and the variations expressed in their negative or positive associations were seen with each other. This systematic review thus attempts to give a relation between body image, interpersonal relationships, and hope among cancer patients. It will enable researchers, scholars, and professionals to understand, view, or approach breast cancer from a psychological perspective and formulate interventions focusing on the exposures taken for this review.

“…The total score obtained from 0 to 30 can be calculated by adding up the scores of the 10 items. A higher score means a higher level of body image disturbance [16]. Body image factors of patients with cancer, are affective, behavior, and cognitive factors.…”

Patients with cancer can potentially experience the negative impacts of treatment. Physical conditions due to illness and therapy can affect the patient's body image. This study aims to find a causal model among body image factors of patients with cancer using the S3C-Latent Method. The measurement of body image of patients with cancer used the BIS questionnaire. One hundred and ninety-nine patients with cancer participated in this study. The results showed the existence of causal relationships between behavior to cognitive factors and duration of illness with reliability scores of 0.8 and 0.6, respectively; from gender to affective factors, illness duration, behavior, and cognitive factors with reliability scores of 0.6, 0.8, 0.65, and 1, respectively. There are also causal relationships from age to affective factors, duration of illness, and cognitive factors with reliability scores of 0.8, 0.7, and 0.9, respectively. The results also showed that affective factors are associated with behavior, cognitive factors, and duration of illness, with reliability scores of 1, 1, and 0.9, respectively. The results showed further the association of cognitive factors and illness duration with a reliability score of 1. We expect that the estimated causal model will serve as a scientific reference for medical experts in developing a better intervention such as treatment.
