ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a qualidade de vida de mulheres integrantes de um Grupo de Apoio acometidas de câncer de mama e comparar a qualidade apurada entre as mulheres mastectomizadas que fizeram reconstrução mamária com aquelas que não fizeram além daquelas submetidas à quadrantectomia que não necessitavam da reconstrução com aquelas que não fizeram a reconstrução. Trata-se de estudo transversal quantitativo, cuja coleta de dados se deu por meio da aplicação de questionário de caracterização das entrevistadas e pelo SF-36 da OMS. Participaram 50 mulheres com idade média de 57,2 anos. Os grupos foram comparados entre si - dois a dois - considerando os tipos de cirurgia, por meio do Teste de Mann Whitney, ao nível de 5% de significância. Os resultados apontaram que as mulheres que realizaram a cirurgia de quadrantectomia e não necessitaram de reconstrução são as que possuem os melhores escores médios em todos os domínios e, portanto, têm melhor qualidade de vida, seguido do grupo de mastectomizadas que fizeram reconstrução. O grupo das mastectomizadas que não fizeram a reconstrução tem um nível muito baixo de qualidade de vida, seguido pelo grupo das mulheres que realizaram a quadrantectomia e também não fizeram a reconstrução.


This study sought to investigate the quality of life of women who suffer from breast cancer and are part of a support group, comparing the data gathered from mastectomized women who had breast reconstruction and women who had not had surgery. It also compared data of women who had quadrantectomy surgery but did not need reconstruction and those who had not had reconstruction surgery. It is a quantitative transversal study, and data was collected by application of a questionnaire to the respondents and by the SF-36 of the WHO. Fifty women with average age of 57.2 years participated in the survey. The groups were compared against each other - two by two - considering types of surgery, using the Mann-Whitney Test at a 5% level of significance. The results showed that women who had quadrantectomy surgery and did not need reconstruction are those who had the highest average scores in all fields and therefore have the best quality of life. They are followed by the group of women who had a mastectomy and reconstruction. The mastectomized group of women who had not had reconstruction surgery were seen to have a very low level of quality of life. They are followed by the group of women who had quadrantectomy surgery and also had not had reconstruction.
