Factors Impacting Management of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL) in Hispanic/Latina Breast Cancer Survivors: A Literature Review

Abstract: Introduction: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a treatment sequela with negative physical and psychological implications. BCRL is a lifetime concern for survivors and is currently incurable. With the increase in the Latino population in the United States, it is critical for the cancer care community to address factors that increase BCRL risk and negatively impact long-term quality of life. This literature review undertook to identify successful intervention strategies for BCRL among Latina survivors.… Show more

“…At present, there are various methods, such as education, brochures, etc., to make patients knowledgeable about lymphedema risk and management (Perdomo et al, 2023). Evidence to date indicates that education is effective in increasing patients' awareness and understanding of BCRL (Anderson & Armer, 2021; Omidi et al, 2020; Perdomo et al, 2023), whereas lack of education about lymphedema treatment and risk‐reduction was identified as a barrier to self‐management by two qualitative studies (Ostby et al, 2018; Zhao et al, 2021). Lymphedema education can be provided by breast cancer nurses, lymphedema specialists and breast surgeons in clinical practice (Perdomo et al, 2023).…”

“…Some researchers have attempted to understand how the LSMB was influenced. Current research findings suggested that knowledge, self‐regulatory skills, self‐efficacy, social support, etc., were correlated with LSMB (Alcorso et al, 2016; Anderson & Armer, 2021; Tsuchiya et al, 2019). Following a theoretical framework can promote clinical practice by focusing on assessment, guiding effective interventions and improving health outcomes (Bao et al, 2022).…”

“…Compared to those from urban areas, rural residents have access to fewer health care workers per capita, lack of specialty cancer care, fewer social workers and mental health providers per capita, and longer travel times to providers and/or diagnostic and treatment facilities [14][15][16]. Less is known about the influence of geographic location (rural, urban) on the HRQL of Latina women with breast cancer [17,18]; most studies have focused on those living in urban locations [3,19] or urban-rural White comparisons [20,21]. Among breast cancer survivors in general, greater rurality of an area is inversely associated with overall HRQL and social functioning, and positively associated with financial strain and breast cancer symptoms [20,21].…”

“…Our findings suggested that ITHBC can help to identify influencing factors of self-management behaviours. Since theories or conceptual frameworks were seldom used in designing or delivering self-management interventions among breast cancer patients at-risk or with lymphedema(Anderson & Armer, 2021), factors identified based on ITHBC also to guide health care providers in the development of intervention programs to increase breast cancer patient's lymphedema self-management behaviours. Higher effects could be expected if the intervention is targeted on improving lymphedema knowledge, self-efficacy, illness perception and social support.8 | RELE VAN CE TO CLINI C AL PR AC TI CEThis study has several implications to clinical practice.…”
