摘要

摘要 目的 乳腺癌手术后,即使进行了重建,患者也很难找到合适、舒适且符合其审美标准的胸罩。我们探讨了乳腺癌幸存者长期以来使用胸罩的经历,以确定她们在整个过程中的偏好、需求和挑战。研究方法 15 名接受过乳房切除术和延迟或即刻乳房重建术的女性参与了这项研究。研究人员进行了焦点小组讨论,以探讨参与者目前使用胸罩的经历。他们还被要求回忆乳房切除术前和乳房重建术后的经历。讨论内容包括文胸材料、款式、结构技术、颜色、质量和价格。结果 主题分析产生了五大主题:"正常感和个人幸福感"、"术后初期的挣扎"、"胸罩体验和偏好的转变"、"服装的实用性 "以及 "质量和价格之间的关联"。结论 乳腺癌幸存者的幸福感与他们使用胸罩的经历和相关的购买过程有关,而胸罩的需求会在整个癌症护理过程中发生变化。幸存者使用胸罩的经历会影响她们对正常生活的感受,以及对因癌症和治疗而导致的身体重大变化的控制感。这项研究强调了未来研究的重要性,即研究幸存者的生活质量与服装体验之间的关系,包括颜色选择、闭合选项和针对个人需求的可调整性等因素。

Undergarment Needs and Challenges for Breast Cancer Survivors: A Qualitative Study
Abstract Purpose Breast cancer surgery, even with reconstruction, can make it difficult for patients to find a bra that fits properly, is comfortable, and meets their aesthetic standards. We explored breast cancer survivors’ experiences with bras over time to identify preferences, needs, and challenges throughout their journeys. Methods Fifteen women who had undergone mastectomy and either delayed or immediate breast reconstruction participated in the study. Focus groups were conducted to explore the participants’ current experiences with bras. They were also prompted to recall their experiences before mastectomy and immediately after reconstruction. The discussion included bra materials, styles, construction techniques, color, quality, and price. Results Thematic analysis generated five major themes: “Sense of normalcy and personal well-being,” “Struggles immediately following surgery,” “Transitions in bra experiences and preference,” “Practicality with outfit,” and “Association between quality and price”. Conclusion Breast cancer survivors' well-being is linked to their experiences with bras and the associated purchasing process, and bra needs change throughout the cancer care journey. Survivors’ experiences with bras impact their sense of normalcy and sense of control over significant bodily changes arising from cancer and its treatment. The study underscores the importance of future research on examining the relationship between survivors' quality of life and garment experiences, including factors such as color choices, closure options, and adjustability for individual needs.
