Abstract

Objective: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among Arab women in the Middle East.

Objectives: This study examined the relationships between marital support, partner participation, body image, and mental distress among Bedouin women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Design: A total of 100 Muslim Bedouin women who were at least a year from their initial breast cancer diagnoses participate in the study.

Results: The findings indicated negative and significant relationships between partner support and mental distress and between body image and mental distress. In addition, a clear positive relationship was found between partner support and partner participation in the home and between education, income, and spousal support. Women who underwent breast reconstruction following mastectomy reported a higher level of support and improved psychological outcomes. Finally, several distinct relationships were found between demographic variables and the research variables.

Conclusion: The provision of culturally appropriate, patient-centered cancer treatments has not been explored for Muslim Arab women in the Middle East in general and in the Bedouin community more specifically, despite their unique cultural characteristics and increases in the rate of breast cancer among these populations. This study highlights the need for further studies in this area.

贝都因妇女乳腺癌幸存者的婚姻支持、伴侣参与、身体形象和精神痛苦之间的关系。

目的：乳腺癌是中东地区阿拉伯妇女中最常见的恶性肿瘤。目的：本研究考察了贝都因乳腺癌妇女的婚姻支持、伴侣参与、身体形象和精神痛苦之间的关系。设计：总共有100名穆斯林贝都因妇女参加了这项研究，她们从最初的乳腺癌诊断开始至少一年。结果：伴侣支持与心理痛苦、身体形象与心理痛苦呈显著负相关。此外，伴侣支持与伴侣家庭参与之间，以及教育、收入和配偶支持之间存在明显的正相关关系。在乳房切除术后进行乳房重建的妇女报告了更高水平的支持和改善的心理结果。最后，在人口统计变量和研究变量之间发现了几个明显的关系。结论：尽管贝都因人的独特文化特征和乳腺癌发病率在这些人群中有所增加，但在中东地区的穆斯林阿拉伯妇女中，提供文化上适当的、以患者为中心的癌症治疗尚未得到探索，特别是在贝都因社区。这项研究突出了在这一领域进一步研究的必要性。
