Abstract
The goal of the study is to describe variables contributing to body image concerns among breast cancer survivors to foster positive body image. Participants for this qualitative study were recruited through convenience sampling (N = 10). The participants' ages ranged from 48 to 80, with an average of 64 years old. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes concerned with body image were age at diagnosis, intimate partnership, preparedness for physical changes, and mental fluidity. Results from this study were used to develop strategies that can be adopted to improve the body image of cancer patients and survivors.
