Abstract
BACKGROUND Body image is a multidimensional concept that involves the mental image of the human body and the feeling of being oneself throughout existence. Treatment for breast cancer causes several bodily changes that affect women's body image. AIMS This meta-synthesis aims to synthesise and interpret primary qualitative studies on the experience of body image in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. METHODS A qualitative meta-synthesis was conducted employing systematic searches in six databases (PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and LILACS). Data analysis was performed according to thematic synthesis. RESULTS Forty studies were included. Five descriptive themes were identified: (1) actively saying goodbye to body image; (2) the rupture of body image; (3) the sacrifice of body image in exchange for life; (4) body image as a vehicle for social expression; and (5) resignation of the alterated body image. These themes were understood through one analytical theme: Half-woman: body image of the woman with breast cancer. CONCLUSION The experience of body image in the context of breast cancer is a dynamic phenomenon, which involves dismissal, rupture, and resignation and occurs mediated by interpersonal contact.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Breast cancer (BC) in women can bring various problems to their marital and family life. Sexual life based on the experiences of the husbands of women diagnosed with BC has not been fully understood. Therefore, this research aimed to explore changes and challenges in sexual life experienced by the husbands of women diagnosed with BC.
Methods
A qualitative research was carried out on 18 men whose wives had been diagnosed with BC at reproductive age. They were selected using purposeful sampling and were interviewed using in-depth semi-structured interviews. Collected data were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method.
Results
‘Sexual life suspension’ was the main theme of this research. Also, ‘unfulfilled sexual expectations’, ‘perceived barriers to satisfy sexual expectations’, and ‘efforts to adapt to sexual problems’ were subthemes.
Conclusions
The husbands of women with BC need support to improve their sexual and marital relationships. Education and counseling about sexual life during the treatment of BC should be incorporated into the healthcare program.

Abstract
Background The study sought to understand the supportive care needs of women with advanced breast cancer from the perspectives of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and key informants of charitable/non-governmental organisations (NGOs), that provide supportive care services to women with advanced breast cancer, in Ghana. Methods A qualitative descriptive approach was employed via one-to-one semi-structured interviews with 13 HCPs and key informants of charitable/NGOs in Ghana that provide supportive care services to women with advanced breast cancer. The study was underpinned by Bradshaw’s taxonomy of social needs and Fitch’s supportive care framework. The data were analysed using a deductive content analysis approach. Results Healthcare providers and key informants perceived that women with advanced breast cancer in Ghana have numerous and complex supportive care needs in key areas that align with Fitch’s supportive care framework, including informational, psychological, emotional, physical, practical, social, sexuality and spiritual needs. Conclusion Participants perceived that women who have advanced breast cancer in Ghana require ongoing information about their condition, treatments and related effects, as well as spiritual support and guidance particularly due to the fatalistic beliefs they often associate with the condition. Tailored supportive care interventions and services, which address the unique sociocultural circumstances for this cohort, are required. Additional research is needed to explore how multidisciplinary teams can work collaboratively to provide comprehensive support to women in addressing their needs.

Abstract
Gynecological cancers have an impact on women's psychosexual health in which results vary from adjuvant cancer therapy, such as loss of pleasure, to anxious symptoms. This study aimed to present a meta-synthesis of qualitative primary studies on the sexual experience of women with gynecological cancer. The SPIDER tool and the PRISMA guidelines were used to recover evidence from the databases Web of Science, SCOPUS, PubMed/MedLine, CINAHL, PsycINFO and LILACS. Twenty articles were included. The thematic synthesis showed that alterations in sexual functions can be mitigated by direct involvement and dialogue with a sexual partner and the resignification of sexual intimacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spirituality is a multidimensional aspect of human experience. In the context of palliative care, it is an individual resource that can be used to cope with illness and to assign new meanings to suffering. Qualitative studies that aim to investigate the experience of spirituality and the needs of family caregivers in this context are rare. OBJECTIVE This meta-synthesis aimed to synthesise qualitative studies on the experience of spirituality in family caregivers of adult and elderly cancer patients receiving palliative care. METHODS A systematic review was performed in six databases, and 14 studies were included in this meta-synthesis. RESULTS The results are presented as a thematic synthesis divided into two analytical themes: (1) The interweaving of spirituality with end-of-life care and (2) The dimensions of suffering and spirituality in the dying process of the loved one. Each analytical theme is explained by two descriptive themes. The results showed that family caregivers express their spirituality in a multidimensional way, giving meaning to the care provided and reassessing the meanings of their lives and their suffering. CONCLUSION Investigating the suffering and spiritual needs of family members in this context may be of value to inform comprehensive and multi-professional psychosocial care.

Abstract
RESUMO A prevalência do câncer entre idosos tem aumentado nas últimas décadas. O tratamento oncológico pode acarretar aumento dos níveis de estresse e depressão. Nesse cenário, a esperança tem sido definida como um dos recursos relevantes de enfrentamento. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a relação entre estresse, sintomas depressivos e esperança em idosos submetidos a tratamento quimioterápico. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal com amostra não-probabilística de 123 idosos vinculados a um hospital geral público terciário do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Os resultados mostram que os idosos apresentavam elevados níveis de estresse percebido e de esperança; 71,5% não manifestavam sintomas depressivos. Níveis de estresse e esperança foram correlacionados negativamente, assim como sintomas depressivos e níveis de esperança, sugerindo que a esperança pode ter efeitos benéficos sobre o estresse e depressão.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the experience of partners of women with breast cancer. METHOD This was a qualitative study, based on the theoretical-methodological framework of existential and phenomenological psychology, and carried out with the partners of women with breast cancer who attended a center for rehabilitation after mastectomy. The data were collected in interviews between June and November 2014, based on a guiding question. RESULTS Ten partners participated in the study. On discovering the disease, the partners experienced emotional distress caused by the fear of losing their partners. Before this suffering, they demonstrated the ability to react: willingness to provide care, to comfort and to support the women in search of treatment, and together, seek to reverse adverse situations. They also showed sensitivity and recognized the intense emotional suffering of the women caused by the challenges faced throughout the course of treatment. CONCLUSION The present study showed the intense suffering of the partners of women with breast cancer and their difficulty to ask for help. Thus, health professionals must be alert, addressing their needs throughout the treatment process to mitigate suffering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a great need for a quality of sexual life questionnaire (QVS) in breast cancer survivors (BCSs) based on the Chinese social culture since the imported tools lack localization verification. To develop a QVS in BCSs and determine its validity and reliability. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the qualitative study, a total of 21 BCSs were interviewed by purposive sampling and snowball sampling; and in the quantitative study, a total of 249 BCSs, who were admitted and received outpatient follow-up, were investigated. Regarding construct validity, factor analysis was performed. The female sexual function index (FSFI), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and Locke-Wallace marital adjustment test (LWMAT) were used to evaluate criterion validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used as an index of internal consistency. To evaluate test-retest reliability, 50 patients were re-evaluated after 1 week. RESULTS We put 28 items in the factor analysis model: (1) 5 factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), with a cumulative contribution of 60.37%; (2) the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that the path coefficients among the factors were all above 0.5, and the standardized load coefficients of the most items were above 0.5; (3) the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.929 for the overall questionnaire, and ranged from 0.571 to 0.869 for the 5 factors; (4) the correlation coefficients between the overall questionnaire and the FSFI, SDS, and LWMAT were 0.582, -0.456 and 0.515, respectively (P<0.01); and (5) the test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.816, and the split-half-reliability coefficient was 0.899. CONCLUSIONS The QVS in BCSs has good reliability and validity, and can be used to assess the quality of sexual life among BCSs in Mainland China.

Abstract
Resumo Os cursos de Educação para a Morte têm sido propostos como uma tentativa de preencher uma lacuna importante da formação acadêmica na área da saúde, trazendo à tona temas que, frequentemente, são negligenciados no ensino, como o processo de morrer, atitudes frente à morte, cuidados paliativos, luto do profissional, dentre outros. Esses cursos necessitam ter objetivos claramente definidos, configurando uma proposta pedagógica que busca introduzir uma postura humanista e humanizada em cursos fortemente tecnicistas. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever uma experiência de implementação do Grupo de Educação para a Morte e conhecer a percepção dos participantes sobre essa experiência. Participaram do estudo oito alunas do último ano de um curso da área de saúde de uma universidade pública, com idades entre 22 e 24 anos. Foi aplicado um questionário autopreenchido, em dois momentos: pré e pós-intervenção. As respostas às questões abertas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo temática. Constatou-se a importância do grupo como instrumento de aquisição de conhecimentos sobre o manejo de situações de terminalidade, espaço de ressignificação da morte e do morrer, reflexão sobre atitudes, condutas e papel profissional, e mudanças nos sentimentos despertados pelo cuidado de pacientes em estado crítico de saúde.

Abstract
RESUMO Investigou-se a interrupção/retomada da vida sexual após o tratamento do câncer de mama e sua relação com a satisfação e outros aspectos valorizados em um relacionamento. Foram empregados métodos mistos de pesquisa com a análise dos dados de uma survey realizada com 139 mulheres e dados provenientes de entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado realizadas com 24 participantes. Um percentual expressivo de mulheres (66%) sexualmente ativas interrompeu as atividades sexuais durante o tratamento. Observou-se que a interrupção e retomada da vida sexual relacionou-se às concepções pessoais de sexualidade, influenciadas pelas relações de gênero e pela qualidade do relacionamento amoroso. A identificação de necessidades relacionadas à intimidade sexual pelo profissional de saúde pode contribuir para a assistência apropriada no processo de reabilitação psicossocial da mulher.

Abstract
Sexual health concerns represent one of the most frequently experienced and longest-lasting effects of breast cancer treatment, but research suggests that service providers rarely discuss sexual health with their patients. Existing research examining barriers to addressing patients' sexual health concerns has focused on discrete characteristics of the provider-patient interaction without considering the broader context in which these interactions occur. Drawing on the experiences of 21 breast cancer survivors, this paper explores three ways in which fundamental cultural and structural characteristics of the cancer care system in the USA may prevent breast cancer survivors from addressing their sexual health concerns, including: (1) when patients discussed sexual health with their providers, their providers approached sexuality as primarily physical, while participants experienced complex, multidimensional sexual health concerns; (2) specialisation within cancer care services made it difficult for patients to identify the appropriate provider to address their concerns; and (3) the structure of cancer care literally disconnects patients from the healthcare system at the time when sexual side effects commonly emerged. These data suggest that addressing breast cancer survivors' sexual health concerns requires a multifaceted approach to health systems change.
