Breast cancer, women and their partner cause physical and psychosocial problems due to surgery and treatment. Therefore, breast cancer is considered as a “couple” disease and increases the level of stress on both sides of the relationship with partner. In reducing this stress, active participation of the couple in the decision-making process in care and treatment should be ensured. The nurse is an important component of quality care to help patients and their families cope with treatment and symptoms, and provides effective, patient-centered care for women with breast cancer. As a result, the nurse needs to focus on double-based initiatives to find solutions to the psychosocial problems experienced by women with breast cancer, and to support partners to develop appropriate coping strategies to help manage problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the problems of couples, the management of these problems and the role of the nurse as a result of breast cancer.

Meme Kanseri, Kadınlar ve Eşlerinin Yaşadığı Sorunlar

Öz

Meme kanseri, cerrahi ve tedavileri
nedeni ile kadınların ve eşlerin bir takım fiziksel ve psikososyal sorunlar
yaşamalarına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, meme kanseri bir “çift” hastalığı
olarak kabul edilmekte ve eş ile ilişkide her iki tarafında stres düzeyini
artırmaktadır. Yaşanan bu stresi azaltmada, çiftin bakım ve tedavide karar verme
sürecine aktif katılımının sağlanması gerekmektedir. Hemşire, hastaların ve
ailelerinin tedavi ve semptomlarla baş etmelerine yardımcı olmak için kaliteli
bakımın önemli bir unsurudur ve meme kanserli kadınlara gereksinim duydukları,
etkili ve hasta merkezli bakımı sağlar. Sonuçta, hemşirenin meme kanserli kadınların
yaşadığı psikososyal sorunlara çözüm bulmak için çift-temelli girişimlere
ağırlık vermesi ve eşlere, sorunların yönetimine yardımcı olmak için uygun baş
etme stratejileri geliştirmeleri için destek olması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, meme kanseri
sonucu çiftlerin yaşadıkları sorunlar, bu sorunların yönetimi ve hemşirenin
rolünü ele almak amacı ile yapılmıştır.
