The traumatic experience of the discovery of a lump in the breast, the diagnosis of cancer and eventual mastectomy have focused medical attention on the importance of providing adequate psychosocial care for mastectomy patients. This paper outlines a comprehensive program now underway. This program includes the premastectomy (preventive), postoperative (interventive) and recovery (postventive) periods. To secure more information for this program, an initial project examining the psychological effects of mastectomy on women and their spouses has been undertaken. It is anticipated that these findings will be helpful in identifying some of the problems encountered and aid in the success of the program in attaining the desired results.
发现乳房肿块、被诊断为癌症以及最终接受乳房切除术的创伤经历，使医疗界将注意力集中在为乳房切除患者提供充分心理社会护理的重要性上。本文概述了一个正在实施的综合项目。该项目包括乳房切除术前（预防性）、术后（干预性）和康复（后期预防）阶段。为了为该项目获取更多信息，已经开展了一个初步项目，研究乳房切除术对女性及其配偶的心理影响。预计这些研究结果将有助于识别所遇到的一些问题，并有助于该项目成功实现预期效果。
