Resumen

El auto-concepto es un factor multi-dimensional que incluye la imagen corporal, la autoestima y la auto-eficacia. Los pacientes que padecen cáncer de mama presentan alteraciones en su auto-concepto y éste afecta al bienestar emocional. El propósito de este estudio es analizar la relación entre las variables del auto-concepto y el bienestar emocional. Método: la muestra de estudio consistió en 131 mujeres diagnosticadas con cáncer de mama. Los cuestionarios utilizados fueron HADS, RSES, BIS y un mono-ítem basado en la teoría de Bandura. Una vez los datos fueron recogidos, fueron codificados y analizados mediante el SPSS y para el modelo estructural se utilizó el programa EQS 6.1. Resultados: el bienestar emocional está influido por las alteraciones en el auto-concepto. Los pacientes que tenían mayores alteraciones en su imagen corporal y menor auto-estima y auto-eficacia, tenían mayores niveles de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. Además la auto-estima y la auto-valía estaban mediando la relación entre la imagen corporal y el bienestar emocional. Conclusiones: este estudio muestra evidencia de las variables mediadoras del auto-concepto que afectan el bienestar emocional de las pacientes con cáncer de mama y que pueden explicar los síntomas de la depresión y ansiedad.
