Psychosocial issues facing African and African American women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a global problem. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 2 million people each year receive diagnosis of breast cancer. In the United States and around the world, breast cancer continues to be the most diagnosed cancer in all women, following skin cancer. African-American and African-American women have lower incidence of breast cancer than European and American white women, but the mortality rate is fairly high. These findings suggest that African-American, African-American, and Caribbean women are common in breast cancer. Socio-economic level is low (4) Knowledge of breast cancer causes and treatment is lacking. Social workers as researchers and supporters can identify gaps in health care systems that adversely affect these women. As a decision maker and educator, social workers can design interventions to ensure that these women's needs and their support systems are satisfied.

Every year, 24,000 women under the age of 45 are diagnosed with breast cancer, so 3,000 people have died. A young African-American woman under 35 is suffering from twice as many breast cancers as white women of the same age. In addition, young African-American women are three times more likely to die of breast cancer than white women of the same age. Once diagnosed, you will face the unique challenge of not having a young African American woman, or not so serious for an elderly woman. Taking the breast health initiative and discussing the importance of breast cancer diagnosis is important for the health care of young African-American women.

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. However, the unique aspect of this group requires additional scientific investigation. More than 80% of empirical interventions focus on black women diagnosed with breast cancer, mainly after treatment
