IntroductionNon-adherence to treatment recommendations is a significant problem, as it contributes to the progression of the disease and to the exacerbation of distressing symptoms. Failure to cope with the disease and elevated levels of stress, in turn, influence the choice of strategy for coping with a difficult situation, and thus adherence to recommendations.ObjectivesThe purpose of our study was to evaluate the impact of the subjects’ stress coping styles on therapeutic adherence, life satisfaction, disease acceptance and quality of life (QoL) in people with mood disorders.MethodsThis survey-based study included 102 respondents diagnosed with mood disorders, living in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It was performed using the sociodemographic questionnaire and standardized tools: The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), The Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey, The Adherence to Refills and Medication Scale (ARMS), and The Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS).ResultsSome 47.06% of the respondents suffered from depressive disorders, while 34.31% had depression or mixed anxiety disorder. Patients who made greater use of an emotion-focused style were found to have significantly lower life satisfaction than other patients. Moreover, this style was related to such SF-36 domains as general health, social functioning, role emotional, vitality, and mental health, as well as to physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS).ConclusionTreatment non-adherence is a serious challenge in the treatment of patients with mood disorders. Individuals who do not adequately follow treatment recommendations often resort to alternative activities as a mechanism for coping with difficult situations. Patients who predominantly adopt an emotion-oriented coping style tend to experience lower life satisfaction and greater difficulty accepting their condition compared to their peers. Conversely, patients who adopt a task-oriented coping style report better quality of life than those who rely on emotion-oriented coping or alternative activities.

“…Araştırmada elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda HÖGÖ'nin alt boyutlarından biri olan yaşam kalitesi ile meme kanseri evresi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Literatür ile bu çalışma benzer sonuçlar göstermekte olup, hastaların genel durumu ve yaşam kalitesi hastalığın evresine bağlı olarak değiştiği Evre I Meme kanserli hastaların ileri evre kanserli hastalara göre yaşam kalitesinin daha yüksek olduğu (Kamińska, 2015) ayrıca genç hastaların yaşlı hastalara göre yaşam kalitesinin daha düşük olduğu (Kamińska, 2015;Pacian, 2012) belirlenmiştir. Bu durum kanserin ilk evrelerinde gösterdiği semptomların ileri evrelere göre daha hafif olması, genç hastaların yaşlılara göre daha sorumluluklarının daha fazla olması yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyebileceği düşünülmektedir.…”

Amaç: Mastektomi olan hastalarının öğrenim gereksinimleri ile kaygı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki araştırma, 1 Ocak 2021 – 15 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Araştırmanın evrenini 118, örneklemini ise 98 hasta oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma Orta Anadolu’da bir ilde mastektomi ameliyatı olan hastalar ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler hasta onamı alındıktan sonra “Birey Tanıtım Formu”, “Hasta Öğrenim Gereksinimleri Ölçeği” ve “Spielberger’in Durumluluk Kaygı Envanteri” ile toplandı. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi, Mann Whitney U Testi, Kruskall Wallis Testi ve Spearman Korelasyon Analizi, Games Howell testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan mastektomi olan hastaların %77.6’sı 50 yaş altında, %31.6’sı ilköğretim mezunu ve %39.8’i meme koruyucu cerrahi geçirmiştir. Hastaların, Hasta Öğrenim Gereksinimleri Ölçeği puan ortalaması 205.10±17.37 olup ölçeğin en yüksek puan ortalaması komplikasyonlar 37.09±4.92 alt boyutu olarak saptandı. Durumsal Kaygı Ölçeği’nden ortalama 42.76±8.83 puan aldıkları belirlendi. Ölçeğin tedavi ve komplikasyonlar alt boyutu, durumsal kaygı ölçeği ile 50 yaş altı hastalar ile 50 yaş üstündeki hastalar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu. Sonuç: Hastaların mastektomi sonrasında orta düzeyde kaygıya sahip oldukları, öğrenim gereksinimlerinin yüksek olduğu ve kapsamlı taburculuk eğitimine gereksinim duydukları belirlenmiştir. Yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu gibi demografik verilerin hastaların bilgi gereksinimi ve kaygı düzeyini etkilemesi nedeni ile eğitim planlaması hastalara özel olarak tasarlanmalıdır. Öğrenim gereksinimleri ile kaygı düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamaktadır.

The location of the tumor and the type of selected treatment are factors that determine the quality of life of patients. The incidence of neoplasms increases every year, with more and more patients successfully undergoing treatment processes but also struggling with the immediate and delayed effects of the disease and the treatment applied. A diagnosis of cancer is a critical situation in everyone's life, which may disturb their sense of agency, stability, and safety. Cancer significantly affects the lives of both patients and their families, and a diagnosis confirming cancer may disturb the sense of control over one's own health. According to numerous studies on the quality of life, depending on the location of the neoplasm, the reaction of patients to the course of treatment may have various psychological effects that will have an impact on the process of adaptation to the disease and psychosocial functioning.Neoplastic disease, depending on its location, may affect the assessment of one's own body and function in the sexual sphere. The location of the tumor not only causes changes in patients' bodies and health options related to their physicality but also affects their coping strategies, self-perception, sense of influence on one's own health, and the quality of social relations.The objective of this article is to assess the differences in the health-related quality of life among women suffering from breast and cervical cancers.
