El tratamiento quirúrgico del cáncer de mama puede producir importantes secuelas psicológicas en las pacientes. Para comprobar cuáles son aquellos factores que predicen un mejor ajuste postquirúrgico de estas mujeres así como un mayor deseo de someterse a reconstrucción mamaria postmastectomía, se llevó a cabo un análisis de regresión múltiple. En la evaluación psicológica se tuvieron en cuenta las siguientes variables: sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva, estrategias de afrontamiento, nivel de autoestima y calidad de vida. El modelo de regresión estimó que el nivel de funcionamiento emocional y de “desamparo/desesperanza” manifestado por las pacientes constituyen factores predictores de la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva experimentada por éstas. Asimismo, el nivel de depresión determinó el deseo de las pacientes de someterse a una reconstrucción mamaria postmastectomía.
