Abstract:
Objective:To explore the body image of young breast cancer patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional survey. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 315 young breast cancer patients who were hospitalized in a ClassⅢ Grade A cancer hospital from March to May 2021 were selected as the research objects. The patients were investigated by general information questionnaire, Body Image Self-rating Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (BISQ-BC) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) . Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation among variables. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of body image in young breast cancer patients. A total of 315 questionnaires were sent out and 310 were effectively received, with effective recovery rate of 98.4% (310/315) .Results:The body image score of 310 young breast cancer patients was (3.03±0.58) . Univariate analysis showed that education level, family residence, per capita monthly income of the family, clinical stage, postoperative time, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and BMI were the influencing factors for the body image of young breast cancer patients ( P<0.05) . Acceptance-resignation and avoidance responses were positively correlated with the body image mean and each dimension score of breast cancer patients ( P< 0.01) , while the Confrontation was negatively correlated with the body image mean and each dimension score of breast cancer patients ( P<0.01) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level, clinical stage, body mass index, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, acceptance-resignation and avoidance and confrontation were the influencing factors of body image in young breast cancer patients (adjusted R2=0.759, F=122.826, P<0.01) . Conclusions:There is a certain degree of body image distress in young breast cancer patients, and education level, clinical stage, body mass index, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, acceptance-resignation and avoidance and confrontation of patients are closely related to the body image. In clinical practice, reasonable intervention programs should be formulated according to influencing factors to improve body image status.
