Abstract

Little is known about the variables explaining individual variability in the long-term adaptation of breast cancer survivors. Attachment tendencies have, however, been shown to explain negative psychological outcomes in the postsurgical period. The present study aimed to assess the continuing influence of attachment tendencies in the survivorship period. A sample of 28 women were surveyed 2 weeks, 3 months, 12 months, and 5 to 7 years after surgery. Attachment tendencies and psychological outcomes (distress, body image, sexuality) were assessed through questionnaires, and medical and sociodemographic data collected. Results show that insecure attachment tendencies predict negative body image and elevated distress.

从乳腺癌手术到幸存者：不安全的依恋倾向预示着消极的心理结果。

对于乳腺癌幸存者长期适应过程中个体差异的解释变量，人们知之甚少。不过，依恋倾向已被证明可以解释手术后的负面心理结果。本研究旨在评估依恋倾向在幸存者时期的持续影响。研究人员对 28 名女性进行了抽样调查，调查时间分别为术后 2 周、3 个月、12 个月和 5-7 年。通过问卷评估了依恋倾向和心理结果（痛苦、身体形象、性能力），并收集了医疗和社会人口学数据。结果显示，不安全的依恋倾向预示着消极的身体形象和更大的痛苦。
