Resumo: | The objective of this integrative review is to analyze the scientific production addressing the sexuality of women with breast cancer following mastectomy, focused on the effects that the physical discomfort due to cancer treatments have on their sex life. The search included articles published in the period between 2000 and 2009 on the MEDLINE, LILACS and PsycINFO databases, using the following descriptors: mastectomy, breast neoplasms, sexuality, sexual behavior, amputation, psychosexual development, and marital relations. Nine articles were selected, which addressed the effects of the physical discomfort from cancer treatments on the patients' sexuality. The findings revealed that, even when the patient's sex life is intense and fulfilling before the disease, factors such as stress, pain, fatigue, insult to body image, and low self-esteem due to the treatments may alter the sexual functioning of the affected woman. Healthcare professionals must be sensitized in order to welcome and include the topic in policies as well as in preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies. |

El estudio incluye trabajos publicados entre 2000 y 2009, utilizando las bases MEDLINE, LILACS y PsycINFO, utilizando los descriptores mastectomy, breast neoplasms, sexuality, sexual behavior, amputation, psychossexual development, marital relations. Fueron seleccionados nueve artículos abordando las repercusiones de la incomodidad física provocada por los tratamientos oncológicos en la experiencia de la sexualidad. Los hallazgos evidenciaron que, incluso existiendo intensa y satisfactoria vida sexual en el período previo a la enfermedad, factores como estrés, dolor, fatiga, insulto a la imagen corporal y baja autoestima derivados del tratamiento, pueden desorganizar el funcionamiento sexual de la mujer afectada. Es necesario sensibilizar a los profesionales para atender el tema en políticas y estrategias preventivas, diagnósticas y terapéuticas.Este trabalho é uma revisão integrativa, que objetiva analisar a produção científica dedicada à sexualidade da mulher com câncer de mama após a mastectomia, com foco na interferência dos desconfortos físicos decorrentes dos tratamentos sobre sua vida sexual.

Foram selecionados nove artigos, que abordavam as repercussões dos desconfortos físicos provenientes dos tratamentos oncológicos na vivência da sexualidade. Os achados evidenciaram que, mesmo quando existe intensa e satisfatória vida sexual no período prévio à doença, fatores como estresse, dor, fadiga, insulto à imagem corporal e baixa autoestima, decorrentes dos tratamentos, podem desorganizar o funcionamento sexual da mulher acometida. É necessário sensibilizar os profissionais para acolherem o tema em políticas e estratégias preventivas, diagnósticas e terapêuticas.Universidade de São Paulo.
