External breast prostheses in post-mastectomy care: womens qualitative accounts
European Journal of Cancer Care, 09/04/09

Gallagher P et al. – A good–quality external breast prosthesis and prosthesis–fitting service is an integral part of the recovery process post–mastectomy. However, this is an area of care that has minimal information or research available. The aim of this research was to investigate women's experience of the provision, fitting, supply and use of breast prostheses in Ireland. The findings are integral for the development of standards of practice in the fitting and supply of external breast prostheses in post–mastectomy care.
