Summary

Brief summary (as posted)

This will be a multicenter prospective descriptive case series study following a cohort. The micropigmentation/tattoo procedure will be carried out following the protocol established in each center (see annex x). The present investigation only involves measuring the impact that this technique has on the patients by collecting data in digital format before and after the CAP micropigmentation/tattoo that motivated their visit to the clinical service. CAP micropigmentation/tattooing is usually performed between 6 and 12 months after the breast reconstructive surgery has been completed, sufficient time for healing to complete and the breast to stabilize, although it can be performed from 2 months after the intervention. Nurses are responsible for performing micropigmentation/tattooing of the areola and nipple in mastectomized women.

Primary outcomes (1)

measure
Body imagen
timeFrame
base, 3 months, 12 months
description
Hopwood Body Image Scale (BIS). Validated in Spanish by Gómez-Campelo \& Bragado-Álvarez. This questionnaire presents Cronbach's alpha of 0.84 in the internal consistency analysis for Latina women with breast cancer and 0.93 in the general Spanish population. The questionnaire consists of 10 items that evaluate several dimensions of body image in cancer patients: affective, behavioral and cognitive. Items are scored on a four-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little, 2=quite a bit, 3=a lot). The total score is the sum of the 10 items and ranges between 0 and 30. Higher scores correspond to a negative body image. The BIS is a brief, easy self-report instrument that is applicable to patients with any type of cancer, stage of disease, or treatment. Its use has increased in recent years, becoming a reference measure in international research.

Secondary outcomes (3)

measure
Self-esteem
timeFrame
base, 3 months, 12 months
description
Rosenberg Self-esteem scale. Validated in Spanish by Morejón et al.. This questionnaire has a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.89 and a two-week test-retest correlation coefficient of 0.91 for the Spanish population. This questionnaire consists of a scale of 10 items whose contents focus on feelings of respect and acceptance of oneself, of which 5 are written positively and 5 negatively with a 4-point Likert-type response format. according to the degree of agreement: 1 (strongly disagree), 2 (disagree), 3 (agree), 4 (strongly agree). To correct it, the scores of the negatively stated items must be reversed (3,5,8,9,10) and all the items must subsequently be added. The total score, therefore, ranges between 10 and 40.
