Resumo
O câncer de mama é a neoplasia mais comum entre as mulheres e, no
Brasil, tem o seu quadro agravado devido ao diagnóstico tardio, que ocorre na
maioria das vezes. A experiência do câncer envolve diferentes significados que
afetam de forma significativa tanto a vida diária quanto as relações sociais da
mulher. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os aspectos da qualidade de
vida e imagem corporal de mulheres submetidas a tratamento de câncer de mama a
fim de determinar a consequência da doença na vida dessas mulheres. Para isso, foi
aplicada uma ficha de avaliação e em seguida foram aplicados os questionários de
imagem corporal (Body Dysmorphic Disorder Examination – BDDE) e o de qualidade
de vida (SF-36) em um grupo de 32 mulheres submetidas à cirurgia para retirada do
câncer de mama. A média do escore obtido no BDDE foi de 30,6 pontos e a escala
que apresentou o menor escore no SF-36 foi a relacionada aos aspectos físicos.
Como conclusão, temos que em relação à imagem corporal não foi observada
insatisfação com a aparência e o SF-36 mostrou que a qualidade de vida dessas
mulheres é prejudicada devido a limitação por aspectos físicos. Mais estudos são
necessários para avaliação da imagem corporal e qualidade de vida dessas
pacientes
