INTRODUCTION: This research aims to find out more deeply about the problems that occur in the self-concept of breast cancer patients.
METHODS: This scoping review uses guidelines from Arksey and O’Malley. Various databases were used in this search, including Scopus, Medline through EBSCO, ProQuest, Springer Link, and PubMed, to look at self-concept problems in breast cancer patients, published from 2018 to 2024, with the criteria: primary study research that discusses the components of self-concept cancer patients undergoing treatment in hospital. The data included in this scoping review is described using frequencies and percentages.
RESULTS: There are 16 articles analyzed, quantitative research (87.6%), qualitative (6.2%), and mixed-method (6.2%). Research about self-esteem (12.5%), body image (43.7%), self-role (6.2%), self-identity (6.2%), self-ideal (6.2%), and mixed (25%).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Thus, it can be concluded that the problems experienced by breast cancer patients during treatment can change due to several things, including changes in role, high self-ideals to fulfill their role as a woman, mother, or wife, and changing body shape.
