Under common circumstances, adolescent age is the period of a young person having to cope with many life problems (resolving issues if personal maturity which increases, respect decreases self-confidence, changing quality of interests, etc.) We can claim that adolescent age itself involves existential character. If this process involves a serious disease, the situation is really demanding. The aim of the chapter is to describe the process of seeking their own identity in the situation of coping with occurrence of an oncologic disease.
The presented paper is focuses on the issue of self-care as a possible predictor of risky behavior in the target population of of adolescents. The first part of the paper is focused on the theoretical basis of risky behavior and then on the basis of self-care. Within risk behavior, the paper discusses the charakteristics of this concept, the factors influencing the risk behavior of adolescents and also the basic forms of risk behavior in the target group. Within self-care, the paper focuses on defining the basis characteristics of the concept and subsequently on the self-care factors proposed for adolescents and on the self-care as a preventive factor. The second part of the paper focuses on the results of research in the researched issues. The research is focused on demonstrating the differences and relationships between the examined variables.
The presented study defines the period of adolescence in the context of particularities of oncological disease as a period of searching for one's social and personal identity. If a serious disease enters this process, the real crisis occurs. From being diagnosed, during the entire treatment until coming back to the life among their peers, the ill adolescents have to use various strategies to be able to cope with the disease. One of the possibilities how to strengthen these coping strategies is also educating of ill adolescents, while e-learning can be undoubtedly considered its modern part.
