Resumo:
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 mulheres mastectomizadas que fizeram reconstrução. O grupo das mulheres 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.

Abstract:
This study aimed at: investigating the quality of life of women who suffer from breast cancer and are part of a support group; comparing the ascertained data among mastectomized women who had undergone breast reconstruction and women who had not undergone surgery; and also comparing data of women who had undergone quadrantectomy but did not need reconstruction and those who had not gone through reconstruction. This is a quantitative transversal study, and data was collected by characterization of questionnaire respondents and by WHO’s SF-36. Fifty women, mean aged 57.2 years, participated in the survey. The groups were compared against each other – two by two –, considering types of surgery, by means of Mann-Whitney Test, at 5% significance level. The results showed that women who had undergone quadrantectomy surgery and did not need reconstruction are the ones 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 undergone mastectomy and reconstruction. The mastectomized group of women who had not undergone reconstruction displayed a very low level of quality of life; they are followed by the group of women who had undergone quadrantectomy and also had not undergone reconstruction.
