Women’s experience of mastectomy following breast cancer. : A literature review with a qualitative approach. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Globalt är bröstcancer den vanligaste cancerformen med prevalens på 7,8 miljoner. Mastektomi är ett kirurgiskt ingrepp där hela bröstet avlägsnas. Litteraturöversikten utgick från omvårdnadsteorin KASAM som beskriver känsla av sammanhang. Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser i samband med att mastektomi utförs och även senare i livet till följd av bröstcancer. Metod: Kvalitativ litteraturöversikt med induktiv design där resultatet grundades på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar från databaserna Cinahl, Pubmed och PsycInfo. Artiklarna granskades enligt kvalitetsgranskningsprotokoll för studier med kvalitativ metod. Dataanalys genomfördes enligt Fribergs fem steg (2022). Resultat: Det identifierades två teman: Möjlighet till stöd och Förändrad kropp med tillhörande subteman; (Stöd hos närstående), (stöd från samhället), (känslor i en annan kropp), (acceptera det nya) och (att vara nära). Kvinnor upplevde en förändrad kroppsbild, intimitet och levnadssituation. För att hantera de uppkomna känslorna utvecklades copingstrategier. Hälso- och sjukvård samt närstående hade en central roll under den postoperativa återhämtningen. Slutsats: Upplevelsen av mastektomi är individuell och präglas av samhällets uppfattningar, närståendes reaktioner, kvinnors självuppfattning och mental förberedelse. Vilket i sin tur leder till olika strategier av acceptans och förnekelse för att klara av livet i den nya kroppen.

Abstract [en]

Background: Globally, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer with a prevalence of 7.8 million. Mastectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire breast is removed. The literature review was based on the nursing theory KASAM, which describes a sense of coherence. Aim: To describe women's experiences in connection with mastectomy being performed and also later in life as a result of breast cancer. Method: A qualitative literature review with an inductive design where the results were based on 12 scientific articles from the databases Cinahl, Pubmed and PsycInfo. Data analysis was carried out according to Friberg's five steps (2022). The articles were reviewed according to a quality review protocol for studies with a qualitative method. Results: Two main themes were identified: Possibility of Support and Altered Body, with associated subthemes; (Support from loved ones), (Support from society), (Feelings in another body), (Accepting the new) and (Being close). Women experienced a changed body image, intimacy and living situation. Coping strategies were developed to deal with the emotions that arose. Healthcare and relatives had a central role during the postoperative recovery. Conclusion: The experience of a mastectomy is individual and is characterized by society's perceptions, the reactions of relatives, women's self-perception, and mental preparation. Which in turn leads to different strategies of acceptance and denial to cope with life in the new body.
