“…Situations like being faced with a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment require considerable adjustment and the ability to cope. Women are called to cope with survival concerns and the fear of the disease’s recurrence and death (Luz et al, 2020 ), premature menopause leading to the loss of fertility (Anders et al, 2009 ), disruptions in professional and daily routines due to the barriers posed by treatments (Keesing et al, 2018 ), altered body image (Falk Dahl et al, 2010 ), and impaired sexual functioning (Dow & Kennedy Sheldon, 2015 ). The most common consequences of breast cancer include depression (Burgess et al, 2005 ; Pilevarzadeh et al, 2019 ), anxiety (Hashemi et al, 2019 ), post-traumatic stress disorder (Hegel et al, 2006 ), impaired health-related quality of life (Montazeri, 2008 ) and moderate to severe distress (Hegel et al, 2006 ; Mertz et al, 2012 ).…”

Cancer patients’ quality of life (QoL) and distress are affected by dispositional factors such as attachment anxiety or avoidance. In this review, we aimed to provide a thorough overview of the relationship between attachment dimensions and QoL and distress among early-stage breast cancer patients. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic search using PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cinahl, Google Scholar, and PMC Europe. We reviewed 8 eligible studies describing 1180 patients. Insecure attachment appeared to be related to poorer QoL and higher distress levels. Avoidant attachment was more frequent and was more often associated with more negative outcomes. Healthcare providers should consider investigating modifiable personality traits in the immediate post diagnosis period to identify patients more vulnerable to mental health problems, deliver personalized care, and reduce emotional burden.

“…Undoubtedly, a serious illness is a factor that leads the patient to an alteration of his/her health, making him/her vulnerable and full of fears about the risk of losing his/her life (Calle & Lallemand, 2014;Hosseini et al, 2022;Luz et al, 2020). In this scenario, nurses must provide support to the sick person, since they interact with their various emotional aftershocks that, for the most part, may be negative (Melita-Rodríguez et al, 2021;Shimoinaba et al, 2021).…”

In recent years, the health crisis has encouraged modifications and revolutions in the training of nursing practitioners in humanized care. The study's objective was to assess the satisfaction indicator of humanized care in the health care environment in order to make improvements to the health care process. The segmentation of the demographic data allowed us to present more precise analyses, in which we were able to isolate the reports of patients from urban and rural areas, in order to later determine if there are differences between the perceptions of the groups. The study used across-sectional non-experimental descriptive design, with two groups of 200 patients from urban and rural areas hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms. The dimensions of humanized nursing care were measured using a questionnaire. The findings demonstrate significant differences in the perception of humanized care received (p. < 0.01). On the one hand, patients from urban regions rated the humanized treatment they received as favorable in 37.7% of cases, moderately acceptable in 36.7% of cases, and unfavorable in 25.6% of cases. Patients from rural areas, on the other hand, rated humanized treatment as favorable in 20.4%, moderately acceptable in 41.4%, and unfavorable in 38.2%. We conclude that humanized care is essential for maintaining care activity independent of the patient's sociodemographic variables.
