This theory can guide research and practice aimed at enhancing body image and minimizing its consequences for women diagnosed with breast cancer.Buffy actress Michelle Trachtenberg claims Joss Whedon was 'not allowed in a room alone with her' while filming when she was 14 - days after co-star Charisma Carpenter blasted him as 'toxic and cruel' This theory explains how women diagnosed with breast cancer define body image and illustrates intrapersonal and interpersonal factors that can undermine or support their body image, along with strategies they used to manage their body image. A grounded theory of body image for women diagnosed with breast cancer was developed around the core category of body image: what it means to women, which was underpinned by six themes and 17 subthemes. Data were analyzed through a process of open, axial, and selective coding using constant comparison techniques and memo-writing. Interviews were conducted with 27 women who had completed treatment for breast cancer in Canada. Using a Straussian grounded theory methodology, we explored the meaning women attribute to body image and how they understand their breast cancer experience as influencing their body image to develop a grounded theory of body image for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
