The objective of this study was to investigate the self-esteem of women with and without breast cancer regarding their body image. A quantitative, case-control study in which 90 women with breast cancer were evaluated in the case group, and 77 women without breast cancer in the control group. For data collection, the body satisfaction scale (BSS), a scale adapted and validated in Brazil, and the Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaire were used. For the statistical analysis of the data, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (IBM-SPSS, Chicago, Il, US), version 16.0 was used. Compared with the women without breast cancer, those with breast cancer were more dissatisfied with body image related to appearance. Women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy were more dissatisfied with their appearance compared with those with cancer who were not undergoing this treatment. Mastectomy also accounted for more dissatisfaction concerning appearance among women who underwent the procedure compared with the women who were submitted to breast-conserving therapy. Women with breast cancer were more dissatisfied with their body image compared with those without breast cancer, particularly following mastectomy or during chemotherapy. The self-esteem was found to be negatively affected in patients who were dissatisfied with their body image.
本研究的目的是调查患有和未患有乳腺癌的女性对其身体形象的自尊情况。这是一项定量病例对照研究，病例组评估了90名乳腺癌女性，对照组评估了77名未患乳腺癌的女性。数据收集使用了在巴西改编并验证的身体满意度量表（BSS）和罗森伯格自尊问卷。数据的统计分析使用了社会科学统计软件包（IBM-SPSS，美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥）第16.0版。与未患乳腺癌的女性相比，患乳腺癌的女性对与外貌相关的身体形象更不满意。与未接受新辅助化疗的癌症患者相比，接受新辅助化疗的女性对自己的外貌更不满意。与接受保乳治疗的女性相比，接受乳房切除术的女性对外貌的不满也更多。与未患乳腺癌的女性相比，患乳腺癌的女性对自己的身体形象更不满意，尤其是在乳房切除术后或化疗期间。发现对自己身体形象不满意的患者自尊受到负面影响。
