Self perception of physical appearance of patients after breast surgery

Ovim radom se ukazuje na samopercepciju fizičkog izgleda pacijentice nakon operacije dojke. Mnoge žene se nakon operacije karcinoma dojke osjećaju manje vrijednom osobom zbog estetskog nedostatka. Zbog negativnog utjecaja socijalne sredine na bolesnicu bitno je educirati bolesnicu o raznim pomagalima i mogućnosti rekonstrukcije dojke. Ciljevi ovog rada i provedenog istraživanja su: saznati kakva je sestrinska skrb za bolesnicu nakon operacije dojke, saznati kakva je psihološka podrška socijalne sredine na estetski izgled bolesnice nakon operacije karcinoma dojke te kakav je utjecaj operativnog zahvata na sliku o sebi. Anketa je provedena na prigodnom uzorku u gradovima Varaždinu i Čakovcu u razdoblju od travnja do svibnja 2019. godine. U istraživanju su sudjelovale članice Udruge žena operiranih na dojku Mamae Varaždin i članice Kluba žena liječenih od bolesti dojke Nova Nada Čakovec. Ispitano je ukupno 53 žena oboljelih od karcinoma dojke sa rasponom godina od 41 do 78 godine. Istraživanje je provedeno u potpunosti anonimno i dragovoljno. Naglasak rada je više na tome kakav je utjecaj operativnog zahvata na samopercepciju nakon operacije dojke. Rad je koncipiran u nekoliko cjelina. U uvodu je kratko opisano o karcinomu dojke. Opisana je anatomija i fiziologija dojke, navedena je epidemiologija, klinička slika, simptomi, dijagnostika i liječenje. U drugoj cjelini navedena je sestrinska skrb i sestrinske dijagnoze za bolesnicu u posljeoperacijskom periodu, zatim je naveden utjecaj operativnog zahvata na samopercepciju, te je opisana psihološka podrška socijalne sredine bolesnici s karcinomom dojke. Treća cjelina se odnosi na rezultate istraživačkog rada, svi rezultati su detaljno prikazani u nastavku rada. Rezultati istraživanja dokazuju da udruga i partner bolesnice imaju značajan utjecaj na kvalitetu života bolesnice nakon operacije dojke Na kraju je dan osvrt na diplomski rad u cjelini.This work points out self perception of physical appearance of patient after breast surgery.
