“…If a group of socially disadvantaged women receive breast reconstruction less commonly than their socially advantaged peers, for example, this is only a disparity if we agree that breast reconstruction constitutes better care, a proposition debated in many contexts [63].…”

The paper reviews published studies focused on disparities in receipt of cancer treatments and supportive care services in countries where cancer care is free at the point of access. We map these studies in terms of the equity stratifiers they examined, the countries in which they took place, and the care settings and cancer populations they investigated. Based on this map, we reflect on patterns of scholarly attention to equity and disparity in cancer care. We then consider conceptual challenges and opportunities in the field, including how treatment disparities are defined, how equity stratifiers are defined and conceptualized and how disparities are explained, with special attention to the challenge of psychosocial explanations.

“…Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and prostate cancer, the most frequently diagnosed in men. Breast cancer treatments, particularly mastectomy and side effects of chemotherapy, can challenge a woman's sense of her femininity (Chang, 2013;Johansen, Andrews, Haukanes, & Lilleaas, 2013) and side effects of prostate cancer treatment (e.g., erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, hot flashes) can challenge a man's sense of his masculinity (Grunfeld, Drudge-Coates, Rixon, Eaton, & Cooper, 2013). Both diseases are highly treatable if diagnosed early and both are associated with sexualized body parts, making them useful examples for comparing how males and females come to understand their experiences with cancer.…”

“…Losing one's breast(s) to mastectomy, losing one's hair to chemotherapy, and losing one's energy and daily routine to treatment and recovery can initially shatter a woman's self-esteem. Breasts are glorified as a symbol of femininity in the United States ( Johansen et al, 2013) and women with breast cancer have reported fears of being less attractive to current or future partners (Kashani, Vaziri, Akbari, Far, & Far, 2014). Several significant differences have been found with regard to how men and women react to a cancer diagnosis, to treatment, and after treatment.…”

Reconstructing Meaning After Trauma

Esmeralda, a 42-year-old Latina woman from Mexico, had moved to the Reconstructing Meaning After Trauma 98 there still remains more research and understanding needed to employ these strategies in the counseling session (Richards & Bergin, 2014). Additional training from experts and practitioners using these interventions with diverse populations in session would be helpful for psychotherapists who may want to incorporate spiritually oriented strategies with their clients. We hope that this chapter will stimulate interest of other educators, scholars, and researchers to advance the understanding and knowledge of spiritually oriented psychotherapy strategies for trauma among diverse populations. Many lives affected with traumatic experiences, such as the loss of Esmeralda's son, thankfully, can be helped through hope and spiritual strategies. Frankl (1985), a concentration camp survivor during World War II, believed that life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones. He contends that our main motivation for living is found in our will to find meaning in life. This opportunity to utilize spiritual methods to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stand we take when faced with a situation of suffering, gives us hope and courage to continue.

“…One of the most effective approaches to enhance breast cancer preventive behaviors (BCPBs) are using media campaigns (e.g., via billboards, radios, and television campaigns), while informing the women (28)(29)(30)(31)(32). The most important results of household surveys about using information technology by the Statistics Center of Iran show that the number of Iranian women who have a phone in is 27.3 million, and 15.2 million have computers, and 21.6 million of them access the internet.…”

Background Smartphone apps are becoming a gradually universal template for an offering of preventive behavior interventions among women who are at risk of getting breast cancer. Although, only limited methodological procedures on mixing model, document, and qualitative study for their developments are presented. Thus, this study was aimed to design and develop a model-based, document-driven, and user-centered mobile app framework to facilitate breast cancer preventive behaviors targeting at-risk women. Methods The present study explains how intervention progress may be enriched with a theoretic foundation, literature review, and qualitative research. A semi-structural individual interview and focus group dissection (FGD) were accomplished to combine the user’s participation in the development. Participants were employed using a purposing sampling method. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded by applying the software MAXQDA. The thematic analysis method was employed for developing themes and sub-themes. Results The ASSISTS model, self-regulation model, and the self-control model were chosen to design the app framework. Data from the literature review presented the most influential document for the designing of the programs. Nineteen women were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview and FGDs. The following five main themes revealed: content, interactive performance, template, extended action and output, and motivational nature. Mobile apps are a useful tool for learning self-care tips, suitable and healthy lifestyles, and stress management, due to their user-friendly and easy feature. The mobile app framework that developed in the present study includes culture-appropriate, user-centered, and reliable content. The mobile app design should include beautiful, visualized features, and interactive multimedia. Conclusions By applying three phases way combining a model basis, the document from the literature review, and qualitative study from the target group can be held as a pattern for the prospective app design.
