ABSTRACT

Introduction: Breast cancer is characterized for uncontrolled growing of cells; it is able to cause metastasis; it constitutes one of the first causes of mortality in the world for women. This disease affects the body image and self-concept which is defined by Roy as the notion of the individual by himself with emphasis on internal and external emotional responses.
Objective: To identify the relationship between contextual stimuli and self-concept of the woman with breast cancer, or mastectomy.
Methodology: Transversal, descriptive, correlational study with a randomized sample of 35 women between 30 and 75 years old, with breast cancer, at two health facilities in Durango, Mexico. Instruments: Tennessee’ Self-concept (Fitts, 1965), and flip-card of demographic and GYN data; respecting ethics according to Health General Law. Reliability of self-concept instrument was 0.72.
Results: The participants’ average age was 51 years old, 10 years average of education, 56% married, an average of 3 children, 48% diagnosed since more than a year, 63% on concomitant treatment. The relation between stimuli and self-concept through Spearman’s correlation did not show up statistical significance.
Conclusions: In spite of no relation between contextual and selfconcept stimuli, the second one showed low values which implies analyzing other variables that may be affecting the self-concept of women with breast cancer.
