Nothing is more important than my partner's health: Turkish men's perspectives on partner's appearance after mastectomy and alopecia.

CONCLUSIONS: The changes in the partners' physical appearance after mastectomy and chemotherapy affected males differently in psychological, emotional and social terms. Since nurses working in this field are in contact with patients during all phases of treatment and care, it would be positive and beneficial to plan nursing interventions that give emotional support for male partners of patients with breast cancer.
