Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the interrelationships among body image perception, levels of psychological distress, and the quality of life (QOL) experienced by young breast cancer patients.

Methods: This study analyzed data from 339 young female breast cancer patients aged between 18 and 40 years (mean age was 33.47 years) from August 2023 to February 2024. Data on demographic characteristics, psychological distress, body image, medical coping, and QOL of young breast cancer patients were collected. Psychological distress, body image, medical coping, and QOL were measured using the Distress Thermometer (DT), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Body Image Scale (BIS), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B), respectively. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine factors influencing QOL.

Results: After adjusting for covariates, significant predictors of QOL in young survivors included psychological distress (β = -3.125; p = 0.002), anxiety and depression (β = -4.31; p < 0.001), cognitive dimension of body image (β = -0.218; p = 0.027), behavioral dimension of body image (β = 0.579; p = 0.047), and confrontational dimension of medical coping (β = -0.124; p = 0.01).

Conclusion: The findings suggest that higher levels of body image concerns and psychological distress are associated with poorer QOL among young female breast cancer patients. Furthermore, breast cancer patients facing with more positive medical coping strategies predicted a higher QOL.

年轻乳腺癌患者的身体形象、心理困扰和生活质量之间的关系：一项横断面研究。

目的：本研究旨在探讨年轻乳腺癌患者的身体形象认知、心理困扰水平和生活质量（QOL）之间的相互关系：本研究分析了 2023 年 8 月至 2024 年 2 月期间 339 名年龄在 18 岁至 40 岁之间（平均年龄为 33.47 岁）的年轻女性乳腺癌患者的数据。研究收集了年轻乳腺癌患者的人口统计学特征、心理困扰、身体形象、医疗应对和 QOL 数据。心理困扰、身体形象、医疗应对和 QOL 分别采用困扰温度计（DT）、医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）、身体形象量表（BIS）、医疗应对模式问卷（MCMQ）和癌症治疗功能评估-乳腺（FACT-B）进行测量。对影响 QOL 的因素进行了多元回归分析：结果：调整协变量后，年轻幸存者QOL的显著预测因素包括心理困扰（β = -3.125；p = 0.002）、焦虑和抑郁（β = -4.31；p β = -0.218；p = 0.027）、身体形象的行为维度（β = 0.579；p = 0.047）和医疗应对的对抗维度（β = -0.124；p = 0.01）：研究结果表明，年轻女性乳腺癌患者对身体形象的担忧和心理困扰程度越高，其 QOL 越差。此外，面对更积极的医疗应对策略的乳腺癌患者预示着更高的 QOL。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
