Resumo: A lymphedema, a breast cancer treatment complication, can lead to physical, functional, psychological and social limitations. The aim of this study was to investigate the lymphedema impact on biopsychosocial factors of the carriers, identifying coping strategies and assessing the quality of life of post-breast cancer women with and without lymphedema. The assessment tools were: a characterization questionnaire; quality of life questionnaires, such as the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-30 and BR-23; and a Coping Strategies Inventory. Eighty-two women were interviewed, whose mean age was 57.4 (SD 12.3), under breast neoplasia treatment. The lymphedema was noticed in 39.03% (32) but it does not quite interfere with their quality of life, and the social role is the most impaired one. Statistically, only symptoms related to the arms were greater in lymphedema women carriers, and self-control was the most used coping strategy. Other strategies used were: reassessment, problem solving, avoidance, social support and self-control. In conclusion, the use of both active and positive strategies to face breast cancer seems to result in good psychosocial adaptation.

El objetivo del este estudio fue verificar el impacto del linfedema en los factores biopsicosociales de las portadoras, identificando las estrategias de enfrentamiento y evaluando la calidad de vida de las mujeres con y sin linfedema después del cáncer de mama. Los instrumentos de evaluación fueron: cuestionario de caracterización; cuestionario sobre la calidad de vida de European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-30 y BR-23; y de Inventario de Estrategias de Coping. Hemos entrevistado a 82 mujeres, edad media de 57,4 años (DV12,3), sometidas a un tratamiento de neoplasia mamaria. El linfedema estaba presente en 39,03% y parece no interferir demasiado en la calidad de vida de estas mujeres, pero si la función social como la más perjudicada. En las con linfedema, sólo los síntomas relacionados con los brazos fueron significativamente más altos, y el auto-control fue la estrategia de enfrentamiento más utilizada estadísticamente. Otras estrategias utilizadas fueron: re-evaluación, resolución de problemas, de fuga, apoyo social y auto-control. La conclusión es que el uso de estrategias activas y positivas para enfrentar el cáncer de mama parece resultar en una buena adaptación psicosocial.O linfedema, complicação do tratamento de câncer de mama, pode levar às limitações físicas, funcionais, psicológicas e sociais. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o impacto do linfedema nos fatores biopsicossociais das portadoras, identificando as estratégias de enfrentamento e avaliando a qualidade de vida de mulheres com e sem linfedema após câncer de mama. Os instrumentos de avaliação foram: questionário de caracterização; questionários de qualidade de vida European Organization for Research and Treatment of Câncer (EORTC) QLQ-30 e BR-23; e Inventário de Estratégias de Coping. Foram entrevistadas 82 mulheres, idade média de 57,4 anos (DV12,3), submetidas ao tratamento de neoplasia mamária. O linfedema apresentou-se em 39,03% e parece não interferir muito na qualidade de vida dessas mulheres, sendo a função social a mais prejudicada. Nas portadoras de linfedema, apenas os sintomas relacionados aos braços foram estatisticamente maiores, e o autocontrole foi a estratégia de enfrentamento estatisticamente mais utilizada. Outras estratégias utilizadas foram: reavaliação, resolução de problemas, fuga, suporte social e autocontrole. Conclui-se que o uso de estratégias ativas e positivas para enfrentar o câncer de mama parece resultar na boa adaptação psicossocial. INCA2010-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/148210.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2010v56n3.1482Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 56 No. 3 (2010): July/Aug./Sept.; 341-351Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 56 Núm. 3 (2010): jul./ago./sept.; 341-351Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 56 n. 3 (2010): jul./ago./set.; 341-3512176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1482/871Alegrance, Fabia CristinaSouza, Camila Bernardes deMazzei, Ricardo Lencioniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:18:59Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1482Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:18:59Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
