英文摘要

Background: Acceptance of disability relates to the process of adaptation, which reflects how the values of a patient change over time to accept herself or himself as an intrinsically worthy person. Acceptance of disability (AOD) plays an important role in the adjustment of persons with physical disability to their environment. However, no studies on the level of AOD in patients with breast cancer are available in the literature. Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the significant factors that influence disability acceptance in Chinese women with breast cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 292 patients with breast cancer between January and April 2017. Participants were assessed using the Acceptance of Disability Scale-Revised, Medical Coping ModesQuestionnaire, Sense of Coherence Scale, Social Relational Quality Scale, and general information questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with the level of disability acceptance. Results: The mean score for AOD was 79.14 and ranged from 32 to 128. Multiple regression analysis indicated that family intimacy, friendships, confrontation,manageability, family commitment, marital status, surgery, and acceptanceYresignation significantly affected disability acceptance, explaining 49.1%of the total variance in disability acceptance. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The participants had a moderate level of disability acceptance. Disability acceptance is an important factor in the psychosocial adaptation to cancer. Healthcare staff should pay special attention to low scores for this factor and explore the potential of psychological interventions to effectively reduce the posttraumatic stress response, encourage the adoption of positive coping strategies, and hasten disability acceptance and return to society.
