摘要:本研究是针对乳腺癌患者，从自我意象角度，分析女性体态变化对心理影响的一个质化研究。我们选择了2名乳腺癌术后患者，对其进行了半结构式访谈，根据自我意象的相关理论，探讨了乳腺癌术后患者的体态变化对其心理状况的影响，并在此基础上，有针对性地提出了促进乳腺癌病人术后康复、提高其自我意象水平的几点措施。

    本研究的结果发现：乳腺癌术后患者的焦虑、抑郁水平高于健康人群，并与自我意象水平呈负相关。乳腺癌术后患者的自我意象水平普遍低于健康人群，影响乳腺癌患者自我意象水平的因素包括年龄因素、经济因素、婚姻因素、化疗次数、手术方式的选择等。

    据此，我们建议：(1)在临床工作中加强对自我意象紊乱的筛查，对自我意象紊乱的患者进行护理干预，尤其要注意年纪轻、经济条件差、对婚姻不满、配偶的态度差、对术后性生活不满意的患者。(2)通过护理干预，指导患者减轻焦虑抑郁，提高自我意象水平。
