Abstract

Prophylactic mastectomy and ovariectomy doesn't seem to be a religious problem at first, therefore not much research on the subject has been done so far. As the awareness of the problem of breast and ovarian cancer threat and subsequently of the issue of prophylactic procedures for BRCA carriers is growing among general public, it is worth to ask the question if and in what way religion itself as well as religious communities may help. The article explores the impact of religious perspective on both physicians and patients as they face these problems. The issue is discussed from physicians' and chaplains' perspective. In the context of this discussion the question of involvement of religious communities in providing better information and support to patients-members of these communities is asked. The aim of the research done here is to open discussion on the possibility of providing better medical and spiritual help, with greater respect and empathy to every patient, no matter their religious and/or cultural background, by involving religious perspective in the process.
预防性乳房切除术和卵巢切除术——宗教观点
预防性乳房切除术和卵巢切除术起初似乎不是一个宗教问题,因此到目前为止,对这个主题的研究还不多。随着公众对乳腺癌和卵巢癌癌症威胁问题以及随后对BRCA携带者预防程序问题的认识不断提高,有必要问一个问题,宗教本身以及宗教团体是否以及以何种方式可能有所帮助。这篇文章探讨了宗教观点对医生和患者面临这些问题的影响。这个问题是从医生和牧师的角度来讨论的。在这一讨论的背景下,提出了宗教社区参与为这些社区的患者成员提供更好的信息和支持的问题。这里所做的研究的目的是通过将宗教观点纳入这一过程,就提供更好的医疗和精神帮助的可能性展开讨论,对每一位患者,无论其宗教和/或文化背景如何,都给予更大的尊重和同情。
