Psychosocial interventions addressing the needs of Black women diagnosed with breast cancer: A review of the current landscape

Background African-American / Black (women) women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer are often reported to have poor health outcomes and decreased survival. Despite the low incidence, black women are 41% more likely to die of breast cancer than white women. In addition to medical treatment, the medical research institute also recommends psychosocial intervention as standard medical care for breast cancer patients at all stages. The current review is the first attempt to systematically assess the literature on the impact of psychosocial interventions on black women diagnosed with breast cancer. Methodology This systematic review is designed to comply with the priority reporting program on systematic reviews and guidelines for meta-analysis. A comprehensive computer literature search was conducted with CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed and Web of Science in order to obtain relevant research. The results report showed the ability to improve mood, reduce pain, cope with invasive thinking and cancer related stresses, and individual growth and social improvement. However, the unique aspect of this group requires additional scientific investigation. Over 80% of empirical interventions focus on black women diagnosed with breast cancer mainly after treatment. Lack of work during diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion In order to deal with the gaps in the scientific literature, more work is needed to better understand how psychosocial interventions can improve the health trajectory of black women diagnosed with breast cancer. We support culturally acceptable networking methods and identify best practices for improving coping capacity. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among black women and it is expected that 30,700 new cases will be diagnosed in 2016. As with white female patterns, the incidence of breast cancer in black women has increased rapidly during most of the 1980's mainly due to increased detection by mammography (Figure 6a, page 13). However, since then, the proportion of white women is generally stable, but the proportion of black women is still increasing (although it is at a slow pace) (an increase of 0.5% per year from 1986 to 2012). 4 Therefore, incidence of black and white females is the same trend as in 2012. The rise in the incidence of black women may partially reflect the increase in obesity in this group (Figure 9).
