Abstract:
There is a growing concern of how young breast cancer survivors' (BCS) body image is affected secondary to cancer treatment.
Purposes:
To (1) develop a theory-based telehealth group session to improve body image of young BCS; (2) pilot test the telehealth group session; and (3) measure participant satisfaction with the session.
Methods:
A telehealth body image group session for BCS was developed based on the cognitive behavioral theory. A case series experimental design was used to determine outcomes of the session.
Results:
There were three participants. No statistical differences were found in body image across three time points. Participant satisfaction was measured with three questions, where participants were found to be "mostly satisfied."
Conclusion:
Healthcare providers should be aware that young BCS may have body image concerns. A telehealth group session can be designed and implemented to address body image for young BCS, but sufficient time is needed for participants to incorporate cognitive behavioral techniques into their daily routines.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
