Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among all cancers. Most breast cancer treatments involve surgery, which leads to changes in body shape. These changes can have an impact on body image after mastectomy, affecting the patients’ quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to explore the perception of body image of breast cancer patient after mastectomy. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed in this study. A total of 15 post-mastectomy clients were recruited through purposive sampling technique. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, which were recorded. The data were analyzed using the Van Mannen approach with the assistance of NVivo 12 Plus software.  Results: The majority of the participants were in the elderly phase, with an average education level of junior high school. Most had a history of stage IIB breast cancer and, on average, had undergone mastectomy three years ago. This study identified the theme of body image, which consisted of four categories and eleven sub-categories. Conclusions: The description of body image in post-mastectomy clients includes beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This response is influenced by the belief in the importance of breasts, optimism regarding achieving one’s ideal self, thoughts about changes in the body, acceptance of oneself and those around us, enthusiasm for healing and comfort, and social roles.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women globally. Beyond its physical impact, it brings complex psychological consequences, including stress, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can affect treatment adherence and quality of life. This literature review aims to explore the psychological impact of breast cancer diagnosis and identify the coping strategies used by patients to manage their emotional burden. A literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. Selected studies focused on psychological effects and coping mechanisms among breast cancer patients, including family and social support, cultural-religious factors, and psychological interventions. The findings show that emotional distress following a breast cancer diagnosis is influenced by cancer stage, treatment type, physical changes, support systems, and cultural belief. Adaptive coping strategies such as religious faith, emotional support, positive reframing, and acceptance promote psychological adjustment and treatment compliance. In contrast, maladaptive strategies like avoidance and denial worsen emotional outcomes. Breast cancer has a profound psychological impact requiring comprehensive mental health care. Integrating psychological and cultural-religious support into cancer treatment improves emotional well-being and clinical outcomes.
