Brief Summary:
In adolescence the effects of cancer and its treatment can lead to bodily changes such as hair loss weight loss or gain amputations scars and developmental delay As treatments for childhood cancers improve and life expectancy increases more adolescents have to deal with the effects of cancer and the treatment on their bodies throughout their lives
Body image can be defined as The mental image we hold of our bodies There are two aspects to this how we see our sizeshapeweight etc and then how we feel about this Often the actual change in body does not always predict how people cope with it or how they feel about it
Prior research suggests and clinical experiences suggests that body image issues arise for at least some adolescents with cancer however it is unknown whether a disturbance in body image is seen as distressing for the adolescent or how this affects them psychologically
Body image problems were always seen as a typically female problem and therefore researchers have often neglected to look at the issues for men There is currently no research specifically addressing the impact of body image in adolescent boys with cancer
This research will involve interviewing adolescent males with cancer with the aims to find out
1 What the body image issues are if any for this group
2 How any body image issues might affect them particularly psychologically
3 What helps or hinders this group maintain a positive body image or stop it having a negative impact on them psychologically
It is hoped that this will help to inform psychological treatments for body image difficulties in the future
