“…In this study, no definite predictive strength of these two variables for BR was confirmed. Similar results were observed in a recent cross-sectional cohort study of 216 Polish women by Zycinska et al [ 50 ] They concluded that depression and anxiety, as negative aspects of well-being following mastectomy, had less direct effects on the patients’ intention to undergo BR.…”

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate potential psychosocial factors that impact Chinese female breast cancer patients to select breast reconstruction (BR), and potential connection of psychosocial outcomes with their satisfaction with BR.MethodsA total of 264 female breast cancer patients with mastectomy were recruited from 2012 to 2014. All patients were informed with BR options at their first visit. Personal and medical profiles were collected. Body image, self-esteem, depression and anxiety were assessed using validated scales. Patients who were selected to undergo BR after the first visit were followed up for six months. The same assessment was performed at 6 months post BR, and their satisfaction with BR was evaluated using the Alderman scale. Multivariate linear and logistic regressions were performed.ResultsForty-seven percent of the patients (126/264) opted to undergo BR within six months after the initial visit. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that self-esteem (P < 0.05), body image (P < 0.01), education level (P < 0.05), and their husband’s recommendation (P < 0.05) were highly related to the patients’ decision to undergo BR. In addition, multivariate linear regression analysis showed that patient satisfaction with BR was significantly associated with preoperative body image (P < 0.01), postoperative improvement in self-esteem (P < 0.01), improvement in body image (P < 0.01), reduction in depression (P < 0.05), pain (P < 0.05), and scarring (P < 0.01).ConclusionsThe psychosocial factors including self-esteem and body image are highly related to selecting the BR option and post-BR satisfaction in Chinese female breast cancer patients.

“…However, a sense of ownership can lead to territorial behaviors (Brown et al, 2014) that threaten to decrease wellbeing. Considering that PO can lead to both promotion and prevention outcomes (Higgins, 1998), it suggests a conceptual alignment with work on value co-creation and value co-destruction (Echeverri and Sk al en, 2011;Pl e and Chumpitaz C aceres, 2010) as well as wellbeing improvement (positive wellbeing) and wellbeing deterioration (negative wellbeing) (Zycinska et al, 2014). This reasoning is the starting point for this paper's investigation and in line with work claiming that feelings of PO stimulate behaviors that contribute to the target of ownership's wellbeing (Van Dyne and Pierce, 2004).…”

“…Human actors can contribute in various ways to improve their wellbeing (McColl-Kennedy et al, 2012), and ideally should adopt an active stance (Caru and Cova, 2015;Prahalad and Ramaswamy, 2004) to "take ownership of [their] health" (Saint Thomas, 2016). However, while individual actors' efforts are required to improve their own wellbeing (Sweeney et al, 2015;McColl-Kennedy et al, 2017b), such active participation cannot necessarily guarantee a positive outcome (Echeverri and Sk al en, 2011;Watters et al, 2001;Zycinska et al, 2014). Their subjective evaluation of wellbeing (i.e.…”

PurposePeople are responsible for their wellbeing, yet whether they take ownership of their own or even others' wellbeing might vary from actor to actor. Such psychological ownership (PO) influences the dynamics of how wellbeing is co-created, particularly amongst actors, and ultimately determines actors' subjective wellbeing. The paper's research objective pertains to explicating the concept of the co-creation of wellbeing and conceptualizing the dynamics inherent to the co-creation of wellbeing with consideration of the influences of all involved actors from a PO perspective.Design/methodology/approachTo provide a new conceptualization and framework for the dynamics of wellbeing co-creation, this research synthesizes wellbeing, PO and value co-creation literature. Four healthcare cases serve to illustrate the effects of engaged actors' PO on the co-creation of wellbeing.FindingsThe derived conceptual framework of dynamic co-creation of wellbeing suggests four main propositions: (1) the focal actor's wellbeing state is the intangible target of the focal actor's and other engaged actors' PO, transformed throughout the process of wellbeing co-creation, (2) PO over the focal actor's wellbeing state is subject to the three interrelated routes of exercising control, investing in the target, and intimately knowing the target, which determine the instigation of wellbeing co-creation, (3) the level of PO over the focal actor's wellbeing state can vary, influence and be influenced by the extent of wellbeing co-creation, (4) the co-creation of wellbeing, evoked by PO, is founded on resource integration, which influences the resources–challenges equilibrium of focal actor and of all other engaged actors, affecting individual subjective wellbeing.Originality/valueThis article provides a novel conceptual framework that can shed new light on the co-creation of wellbeing in service research. Through the introduction of PO the transformation of lives and wellbeing can be better understood.

“…Self-efficacy in the process of making a decision regarding breast reconstruction does not mediate between the outcome expectancies and intention, when the resources are poor. This may lead to the conclusion that low resources play a preventive role, guarding the patient against the feeling of dissatisfaction with breast reconstruction (see Zycinska, Gruszczynska, Choteborska, 2014). In view of the previously discussed conclusions and the contextual character of the examined variables, it is more justified to state that self-efficacy is a regulator in forming the intention and then in implementing it.…”

“…According to the known impact of sociodemographic variables and disease-related variables, it is the age and duration of the disease that may -to the highest degree -influence the decision to undergo breast reconstruction (e.g. Fallbjörk, Karrlson, Salander, Rasmussen, 2010;Girotto, Schreiber, Nahabedian, 2003;Lee, Hultman, Sepucha, 2010;Zycinska, Gruszczynska, Choteborska, 2014). Older women and those with a longer duration since diagnosis of the disease are less likely to opt for breast reconstruction.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the role of self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, and risk perception (including consequences of mastectomy) in formulating the intention to undergo breast reconstruction in 178 women after total mastectomy. The social-cognitive variables were measured in the context of breast reconstruction, while depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory. The structural equation modeling revealed that among the predictors there were only two that accounted for the intention to undergo breast reconstruction, i.e. self-efficacy and outcome expectancies (R2 = .67). Subsequent analyses of the related moderators, i.e. depression, age, and duration of the disease indicated a good fit to the data. Nevertheless, in subgroups with poorer resources (older age, depression, and longer duration of the disease) the direct effects of self-efficacy on intention were less noticeable or non-existent. The results suggest that self-efficacy may play the regulating role in making a breast reconstruction decision if individual resources are taken into account.

Positive and negative aspects of well-being as correlates of breast reconstruction decision

Abstract: The results suggest that positive rather than negative aspects of well-being, after control for sociodemographic variables, may be significant correlates of breast reconstruction decision.
