Abstract: Breast cancer often requires mastectomy as treatment, presenting significant physical and emotional challenges. Objective: To identify, based on literature, the emotions, impacts and experiences experienced by women with mastectomies. Materials and methods: Integrative literature review. The research involved the selection of 10 articles in the VHL, SciELO and PubMed, covering the period from 2013 to 2023. Results: The categories identified were: 1- Feelings triggered after the diagnosis of breast cancer; 2- Emotions of women undergoing mastectomy and 3- Impacts on quality of life and social integration in mastectomized women. Discussion: There was a predominance of negative feelings, such as fear and anguish, in addition to impacts on self-esteem and physical and emotional well-being. Dissatisfaction with the new appearance associated with mastectomy resulted in depression and anxiety, adversely affecting quality of life. Conclusion: Post-mastectomy women suffer from changes in body image and self-esteem. Support from family, friends and a multidisciplinary team is essential for treatment. In order to reduce weaknesses, Nursing must provide necessary information that helps women in the recovery process, which is essential for their rehabilitation.
