Abstract
Devido aos avanços dos tratamentos oncológicos, a sobrevida das pacientes com neoplasias mamárias tem aumentado significativamente, o que impõe a necessidade de compreender seus aspectos psicossociais. Diferenças de gênero e orientação sexual favorecem a ocorrência de desigualdades dentro dos serviços de saúde. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a produção científica nacional e internacional sobre variáveis relacionadas à saúde de mulheres lésbicas com câncer de mama. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado a partir das bases LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL e PsycINFO. Foram selecionados 20 artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2017. A análise permitiu delinear os temas: repercussões físicas e psicológicas do tratamento, enfrentamento, riscos de morbidade e mortalidade, qualidade de vida, menopausa e estudos de base populacional. A literatura explora de que modo a doença e o tratamento impactam de forma diferenciada a qualidade de vida de mulheres lésbicas acometidas por câncer de mama. Esse conhecimento é fundamental para subsidiar um cuidado sensível às necessidades dos segmentos minoritários da população.

How breast cancer treatments affect the quality of life of women with non-metastatic breast cancer one year after surgical treatment: a cross-sectional study in Greece. BMC Surg 2020; 20:210. [PMID: 32957940 PMCID: PMC7507267 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-020-00871-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The continuously increasing survivorship of female breast cancer makes the monitoring and improvement of patients’ quality of life ever so important. While globally there is a growing body of research on health-related quality of life 1 year after surgical treatment for non-metastatic breast cancer, up-to-date information regarding Greek patients is scarce. Objective To measure the level of QoL of non-metastatic BC survivors in Greece 1 year after surgery. Methods A sample of 200 female breast cancer survivors aged 18 to 75, who followed up as outpatients in five public hospitals were included in this cross-sectional study. All recruited patients agreed to participate in the study (100% response rate). Quality of life data were collected through the EORTC QLQ-C30 as well as BR23 questionnaires. Results Cronbach’s alpha for all scales of the two questionnaires was from 0.551 to 0.936 indicating very good reliability. According to the Multiple Linear Regression, older patients showed a lower future perspective (p = .031), with those living in rural areas, which was associated with more financial difficulties (p = .001). Women with tertiary education and those who had been hospitalized in a university hospital recorded better on global health status (p = .003 and .000 respectively). Patients who underwent chemotherapy reported better scores in the emotional function sub-scale (p = .025). Women with reconstruction and at least one complication appeared to have significantly better scores in future perspective and social function (p = .005, .002 respectively). Conclusions Breast cancer survivors were found to have an overall good quality of life, functioning/symptoms scores and were satisfied with the provided care.

Abstract
Resumo Objetivo: Identificar os fatores intervenientes para a abordagem da sexualidade, pelo paciente e profissional, e descrever as estratégias empenhadas para a abordagem da sexualidade no cuidado ao paciente com câncer. Métodos: Revisão integrativa de literatura, baseada em etapas sistemáticas, nas bases de dados e ou bibliotecas eletrônicas: LILACS, PUbMed, MEDLINE, IBECS, ScIELO, UpToDate, BDEnf. As buscas ocorreram entre dezembro de 2016 a julho de 2017. Criterios de inclusão: estudos com pacientes oncológicos, idade acima de 18 anos; publicados nos últimos dez anos (2007-2017); disponíveis na íntegra; nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês. Excluídos: teses, dissertações, revisões (sistemática, narrativa e integrativa), artigos de opinião e editoriais. Resultados: Incluídos 18 artigos, seis artigos referentes a fatores intervenientes e 12 artigos referentes a estratégias adotadas para abordagem da sexualidade. A maioria dos artigos evidenciou a dificuldade com a qual o tema é tratado na prática profissional, nas perspectivas da comunicação e das relações interpessoais entre pacientes e profissionais, reiterando a premissa que a saúde sexual do paciente é, normalmente, negligenciada. Os estudos que versavam sobre as intervenções empreendidas para sanarem as lacunas, demonstraram diferentes graus de positividade e demonstraram que é necessária a capacitação dos profissionais com estratégias de orientação e aconselhamento. Há modelos de intervenção disponíveis na literatura. Conclusão: A sexualidade é negligenciada no cuidado ao paciente com câncer. A atenção multidisciplinar em oncologia precisa reconhecer esta realidade e empreender, numa ação conjunta, atividades de educação e apoio psicossocial, para que esta necessidade humana básica seja satisfeita pelos pacientes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis for “fatigue in women with breast cancer under radiotherapy”. Method: Study of diagnostic accuracy, with cross-sectional design, performed in 130 women with breast cancer under radiation treatment. A data collection instrument was used to evaluate clinical socio-demographics and to investigate the presence or absence of defining characteristics for fatigue. The latent class analysis model was applied to assess accuracy measurements of the characteristics identified. Results: Fatigue diagnosis was present in 21.9% of the women. The characteristic which showed the highest sensitivity was “Impaired capacity in maintaining the usual level of physical activity”, while “Impaired capacity in maintaining usual routines” and “Lack of interest about the surrounding environment” presented greater specificity. Conclusion: Accurate diagnostics allow devising an action plan directed to the patients' real needs.

Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study was to review the scientific literature addressing educational actions related to the training of health professionals in sexuality between 2003 and 2013. The results obtained show that college seniors, recent college graduates, or those working in hospitals and other health care facilities are not adequately prepared to meet patients' needs regarding sexuality. Several studies have shown improvement in the health practitioners' ability to deal with patients' sexuality issues after participating in training programs in sexuality, regardless of the course load. According to the articles reviewed, in order to improve the performance and comfort level of health practitioners to deal with patients' sexuality concerns, investments in educational actions are necessary.
