Abstract

Ayeni Adebusola Raphel

Breast cancer is a highly prevalent medical
problem with current data suggesting that more than 1in 8
women will develop breast cancer within their lifetime. A
devastating disease affects thousands of women and men
(rarely) every year. It had impacted on their mental health
and psychological wellbeing when diagnosed. However,
because of advances in early detection and medical
treatment of cancer in the past three decades as well as the
increasingly higher expectancy of the population, the
survivor tends to live longer than usual mostly when
behaviour is modify and psychosocial adjustment is made.
Due to dearth information on lifestyles modification, this
study tends to evaluate different behaviour modification and
social adjustment; and knowledge of behaviour
modification and social adjustment among respondents at
Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria.
