As part of a wider study describing the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis on lifestyle behaviours, this paper describes the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis on alcohol consumption and factors influencing consumption.
Cross-sectional online survey of 140 people (138 women) and interviews with 21 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the last 10 years.
Of the 100 survey participants who drank alcohol 25% were drinking at increasing or higher risk levels and 17% strongly wanted to change their drinking behaviour. The habitual aspects of alcohol consumption were the strongest predictor of current alcohol consumption behaviours. Social norms and perceptions about conflicting information were substantial barriers to change.
Breast cancer survivors need accurate information about the risks of alcohol consumption and guidelines in order to make informed decisions about making changes to their behaviour. Interventions to support breast cancer survivors to reduce alcohol consumption need to focus on the development of healthy habits and may benefit from a focus which includes partners and friends.
作为描述乳腺癌诊断对生活方式行为影响的更广泛研究的一部分，本文描述了乳腺癌诊断对饮酒行为的影响，以及影响饮酒的因素。
对 140 人（138 名女性）进行了横断面在线调查，并对过去 10 年内被诊断患有乳腺癌的 21 名女性进行了访谈。
在 100 名饮酒的调查参与者中，25%的人饮酒量处于增加或更高的风险水平，17%的人强烈希望改变他们的饮酒行为。饮酒的习惯性方面是当前饮酒行为的最强预测因素。社会规范和对相互矛盾信息的看法是改变的巨大障碍。
乳腺癌幸存者需要有关饮酒风险和指南的准确信息，以便就改变行为做出明智的决定。支持乳腺癌幸存者减少饮酒的干预措施需要侧重于养成健康习惯，并且可能受益于关注包括伴侣和朋友在内的方法。
