Mastectomy Patient choice of Life With outer ProsthesisZohra Jetha admissionThis Literature review is regarding the look for fictional character of life and experiences with away prosthetic device among mastectomy patient. The aim of this literature review is to identify the experiences and gladness by utilize outer doorknocker prosthesis by and by mastectomy ( white meat removal mental process). This literature give up the recent statistic of heart crab louse, effects on women aft(prenominal) mastectomy, guinea pigs of prosthesis , comfort with prosthesis, and component of prosthesis cheer. hunt club strategycomprehensive computerized search through for literature review .literature was obtained through numerous electronic database such as, CINHAL, public house Med, Blackwell synergy, Science direct, British medical journal and other search engines for object lesson Google scholar. Moreover the topic was searched from 1997 to 2013 articles, bailiwicks. Differ ent key words used tie in to the topic such as dummy crab louse, satisfaction and mammilla cancer, away prosthesis and mastectomy , mastectomy and impacts, statistic of look cancer, experience and mastectomy, fictitious character of life and mastectomy etc. the issue forth 20 articles were ensnare on over all content, only vanadium article found direct on satisfaction level with international prosthesis subsequently mastectomy, and these all studies were through with(p) in Australia, Canada, and Ireland, and Taiwan however, I couldnt found both study in Pakistan. chest of drawers cancer prevalenceThe Worldwide cancer cases be increasing day by day, according to World Health organization (WHO) fact sheet prefigure that in 2012, 14.1 million new cancers were identified and however, 8.2 million deaths occurred due to cancer. globally the most prevalent cancer is lung cancer which is 13.0%, and second number meet cancer 11.9%. This is a most common diagnosed cancer in w omen globally one in all(prenominal) four women dies because of this cancer. In 2012 1.7 million patients were diagnosed with bureau cancer, in comparison 2008 estimates breast cancer incidence increased 20% however, mortality rate increased by 14%, total 522000 deaths occurred in 2012. (WHO, 2012 2013). dresser cancer is very(prenominal) risque in Asia it is expected that every one out of the nine women is facing the problem of cancer. The Karachi cancer establish reported 34.6% breast cancer cases are present in the city. It is seem the most common cancer in this area. (Bhurgri1 et al, 2000 Sobani et al , 2012). To compare front data recent Karachi Cancer registry indicates that Annual rate of breast cancer is 69.1 per 100,000. In Lahore, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital reported that over a period of 8 years, there were 3,338 cases of breast cancer were encountered (Banning, Hafeez, Faisal, Hassan, Zafar, 2009). Further much progression in breast cancer sermon, early de tection of ailment, increased breast cancer survival rate than earlier in high take chances countries. (Gallaghe et al, 2006). However this pattern is different in developing countries as deal s process are unaware around early mammography and early detection. (Sobani et al, 2012). meet cancer TreatmentAs soon the diagnosis conformed, the decision for treatment of breast cancer is decided by the physician to see the coif of disease, characteristic of the tumor, age colligate risk, and benefit, treatment protocol and as well as considers the woof of the patient. (Breast cancer, facts and figures, 2011-2012) Most women with breast cancer pass on have some type of surgery. Surgery is often combined with other treatments such as beam of light therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or targeted therapy (Breast cancer, facts and figures, 2011-2012). Women with early stage diagnosis have trey efficient choices, breast- conserving surgery, Mastectomy, or mastectomy with reco nstruction. Because the survival remains same, however choice of mental process put impact on quality of life. (Nissen et al 2001).Mostly breast cancer patients are treated with mastectomy (removal of breast) and wide local anaesthetic excision (removal of bunch and surrounding tissue).Quality life of survivorHowever, The diagnosis and treatment of this disease causes physical symptoms (pain), and emotional (sleep disturbance), psychosocial (depression), spiritual. (Roberts, Livingston, White, Gibbs, 2003 Dodd, Maria. Cho, Bruce, Miaskowsk, 2010). It is similarly known that mostly new diagnosed cases Women also reported high anxiety level. (Andersen, Brown, Morea, Stein, Baker, 2008). The loss of one or twain breast can lead to an impaired feminine self stick out and sexual dysfunction. (Roberts, Livingston, White, Gibbs, 2003). Mastectomy cause changes in the shape or escort of the breast however, this Changes put major impact on womens persuasion of self body physical bod y and sexuality (Hassy-Dow, 2006, as cited by skunk et al, 2012). In particular aft(prenominal) surgery women reported grief related to the loss of the breast , a decreased sense of femininity ,worry about scar and breast symmetry ( Fitch ,2012). Using prosthesis after mastectomy can help the women in coping .Nevertheless an Oncology nurse plays an important billet to provide education to women about cancer recovery, and adjustment with treatment. ( Wilmoth Ross,1997 as cited by Fitch et al ,2012 ).Even though now day many women are choosing for immediate reconstruction after mastectomy, but major quantity of women will use external prosthesis after surgery. (Roberts et al, 2003).Furthermore Women who undergone breast conservation or breast reconstruction then women who have mastectomy alone have better body image but, greater mood disturbance botheration. . (Nissen el al, 2001).According to Chang el al, 2007) breast cancer women undergone mastectomy or breast reconstructive su rgery, did not report any of quality of life any difference. However body image was concern, some women have selected less expansive procedures. Furthermore Women were more slaked if they have chosen of their treatment themselves. However Physicians should describe the options to women, along with the intermediate satisfaction rates for women choosing those options, and help women to make the best personal decisions (Hart, Meyerowitz, Appolne, Mosconi, Liberati, 1997).The inborn element of Post mastectomy recover is appropriate rehabilitation such as employ best fitted prosthesis. (Gallagher, Buckmaster , Ocarroll , Kiernan Geraghty, 2010).ProsthesisBreast prosthesis is an dummy breast form that fits into a bra in order to renew the natural breast. It is most often used after surgery for breast cancer, either after a mastectomy or a wide local excision(Action research 2004). After mastectomy or lumpectomy 90% women choose to go to pieces prosthesis permanently or temporarily till reconstruction surgery is being done.Types of prosthesisThere are two type of prosthesis are functional, conventional external prosthesis these prosthesis is worn interior the brassier to provide natural look. Temporary light weight prosthesis fill up with cotton wool are used after surgery till the scar fully recover, after six calendar weeks silicone made prosthesis are fitted in brassier it has the same weight as normal breast. partial prosthesis which has hollow it give shape to prosthesis used after wide local excision. The second type is pitchy prosthesis is intractable with skin with the help of strip this prosthesis could worn for whole week and during night eon. There some disadvantages with conventional prosthesis, there is risk to steal form brassier during sports or other activity. Most of the women remain comfortable to with adhesive prosthesis because less chance to dislocate form its place andno indispensableness to wear brassier all the time.( Thijs-B oer, Thijs, van de Wiel, 2001 Roberts, Livingston et al, 2003 Gallagher, OCarroll el al, 2006). Furthermore approximately Studies also suggested that women who use prosthesis for more than five years after post mastectomy as compare those who wear it less are more satisfied than longer time of period (Fitc et al , 2012 ).Dissatisfaction with prosthesisWomen showed dissatisfaction is associated to associate of the date experience such as fitting time, lack f privacy, fitting by man, incorrect fitting and office of the fitter., this dissatisfaction also has been associated with interdict impact of femininity and body image, restricted choices of clothing and difficulty dressing, discomfort from sweating caused, its weight and most important the cost.(Lee,(1991Roberts, Livingston, White, Gibbs , 2003).Other dissatisfaction reasons could be the prosthesis cost, high cost may the major concern for women. ( Livingston., Roberts, White, Gibbs, Bonnici , Hill. 2000). Breast cautiousne ss nurse play a major role to provide physical care, psychological support, and provision of accurate trainingregarding prosthesis beside this role of breast fitter is very significant to be responsible for supplying an fitting prosthesis It is also found that prosthesis fitter have very important role on womens acceptance and satisfaction with prosthesis.(Roberts, Livingston, White, Gibbs , 2003).Research gap analytic thinkingLiterature review led to explore quality of life and experiences with external prosthesis among Mastectomy patient. This issue is highly significant and need to research in Pakistani context in order to observe the experience of women after mastectomy, according to literature the survival rate is increasing is as the time passes, moreover women faces the physical, psychological, social, spiritual and sexuality issues after mastectomy. However, Recovery and rehabilitation is meet important for breast survivor. There are limited studies are done in this field in different countries however I could not find any study in Pakistan. I have found studies on cancer statistic of breast cancer in Karachi, and attitude towards breast cancer, but I could not find any study for breast Cancer survivor experiences. I also have not any found any policy for it. This literature review will helped me to explore quality of life and experience of women after mastectomy in our culture. It will also help to develop policy to provision of prosthesis for Pakistani women. Pakistan is a developing country, poverty and gender inequality is also very common. Womens physical needs are remain neglected and least precession is given to their psychological and sexual health. Reconstructive surgeries are very dearly-won and it also require post care. It is very difficult for common pile to afforded this expansive where they still trying to fulfill their basic needs. Furthermore proper training of health care provider is also significant. If health care provide awa re about it so they can disseminate this information to patients and families. It very important for womens health because if women will be healthywill be able to provide better attention towards her family.ConclusionTo conclude that, supra literature review is highlights the worldwide cancer, breast cancer statistic, and limited available data of Pakistan. It is also discussed the impact on womens physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and sexual health after mastectomy, and different surgical modalities and also emphasis on womens rehabilitationReferences,Action Breast Cancer.
