As a consequence of mastectomy, women may experience disruptions in four domains of life: the physical, the psychological, the social, and the spiritual. Mastectomy trauma syndrome refers to these lifestyle disruptions. This ethnographic research study explores the major lifestyle disruptions associated with mastectomy. Holistic concepts and strategies are suggested to assist postmastectomy women toward self-actualization.
