Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions for an upcoming Special Issue focused on health promotion and mental health among women with breast cancer. Breast cancer continues to be a leading health issue globally, with a profound impact not only on physical well-being but also on emotional, psychological, and social aspects of women's lives. This impact may be particularly pronounced for women returning to work after the diagnosis. This Special Issue seeks to highlight innovative research, interventions, and strategies that promote mental health and well-being for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
We are particularly interested in studies that explore the intersection of health promotion and mental health, including, but not limited to, the following: psychosocial interventions, coping strategies, support systems, the role of healthcare professionals in mental health care, and community-based programs. We welcome qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research that addresses the mental health challenges faced by women in diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and geographical contexts.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how mental health can be supported throughout the cancer journey, from diagnosis to survivorship. We encourage submissions that offer evidence-based solutions, highlight gaps in current care models, and propose new frameworks for integrating mental health support into breast cancer treatment and recovery.
