Abstract

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer patients plays an important role in improving the patient's quality of life. This article examines the cognition, attitude, and behavior of breast cancer patients regarding breast reconstruction. The current situation, influencing factors and improvement strategies are reviewed. Influencing factors include demographic factors (Age, place of residence, education level, occupation, marital status, family family financial status, health insurance type, race/ethnicity), clinical factors (cancer stage, whether received radiation therapy, quality of life, type of mastectomy), patients lack knowledge about breast reconstruction knowledge (Weak awareness of breast reconstruction and insufficient preoperative education), the countermeasures mainly include standardizing and popularizing multi-level education on breast reconstruction, establishing a correct understanding of breast reconstruction among patients, and strengthening social Support and formulate relevant policies to promote breast reconstruction, aiming to promote the knowledge, belief and practice of breast reconstruction among breast cancer patients in China and provide a basis for research.
