In order to assess factors related to men's adjustment to mastectomy and its aftermath the authors administered a questionnaire to 31 men whose wives or partners had had mastectomies. Most men reported a good overall adjustment, but a subgroup remained distressed and reported adverse effects on their relationships with wives or lovers. The data indicate that the nodal points in the process are the involvement of partners in the decision-making process, the frequency of hospital visits, resumption of the sexual relationship, and the man looking at his partner's body after surgery. These findings have implications for counseling couples who face this emotionally stressful procedure.
为了评估与男性适应乳房切除术及其后果相关的因素，作者对31名妻子或伴侣接受了乳房切除术的男性进行了问卷调查。大多数男性报告总体适应良好，但有一小部分人仍感到痛苦，并报告说这对他们与妻子或恋人的关系产生了不利影响。数据表明，这个过程中的关键点是伴侣参与决策过程、医院探访频率、恢复性关系以及男性在手术后看伴侣身体的情况。这些发现对于为面临这种情感压力巨大的手术的夫妻提供咨询具有启示意义。
