Abstract:
Objective To explore stigma in patients after breast modified radical mastectomy, and analyze the correlation of stigma with coping style and self-esteem.Methods From January 2015 to February 2017, totally 186 patients after breast modified radical mastectomy were selected by convenience sampling method and investigated by self-designed general demographic questionnaire, Social Impact Scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Self-Esteem Scale. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of breast cancer patients' stigma with coping style and self-esteem, and multiple linear regression was adopted to analyze the influencing factors of stigma.Results Patients' stigma after surgery was (61.04±11.99), which was at a moderate level. The stigma was negatively correlated with confrontation and self-esteem (r= -0.421, -0.574;P<0.05), and positively correlated with resignation and avoidance (r=0.564, 0.414;P<0.05). The result of multiple linear regression showed that age and resigned coping style were the influencing factors of stigma (β'=0.291,0.263;P<0.05).Conclusions The stigma of patients after breast modified radical mastectomy is at a moderate level, and should be paid attention. Nurses should encourage patients to face difficulties and challenges, and communicate with others actively. Besides, young adult patients should be taken into consideration.
