Personality and Breast Cancer:
Scientific Production in Psycho-Oncology
Keywords:
Psycho-Oncology, Breast cancer, Personality, Literature reviewAbstract
This study concerns on the Psycho-Oncology field. It aimed to make a systematic review of the scientific literature about the personality importance in the development of emotional and clinical condition of women with breast cancer. This review was carried out on reports from MedLine, PsycINFO, LILACS, SciELO-Brasil and PePSIC databases. In general, the selected references’ results point out that optimism promotes a more favorable evolution of emotional condition. Besides, they sustain that patients with fighting spirit and appropriate handling of anxiety evoked by aggressive stimuli tend to show a better clinical condition. However, it is suggested that future investigations should select innovative theoretical and methodological approaches for the improvement of the knowledge produced in the area.
