“…SG patients achieved better results than NSG patients in self-appraisal. In their research, carried out on a sample of 44 oncology patients, Žiaková and Maštenová also state that better results in the rating of their life and the discovery of a new energy in life are reported by SG patients [20]. Various studies report that between 25 and 99% of cancer patients experience fatigue, and that it is at its worst during chemotherapy treatment.…”

“…Žiaková and Maštenová [20] claim that belonging to self-help group in oncology patients significantly influences the improvement of the quality of interpersonal relationships in women with breast cancer. The research was conducted on a sample of 44 cancer patients, 39 of whom had breast cancer and 5 women had other oncological diseases [20]. In their study, Kornblith and Liqibel [21] point out that the image of one's own body and the sexual life of breast cancer patients are closely linked.…”

Background. Assessment of quality of life (QoL) is important for cancer survival and can be influenced by positive social support. The aim of the study was to compare the QoL of patients with breast cancer in terms of using the support of a self-help group (SG) in relation to quality of life. Material and methods. The research group consisted of 135 respondents, who were the patients with malignant breast cancer. The first comparative sample of respondents, who did not attend the SG, was numbered 70. The second comparative sample of respondents, who attended the SG, consisted of 65 patients. Results. In mental health QoL, body image was rated better in patients who attended the SG; in relationship QoL, positive significance was shown in the sphere of sexual life and social support in the SG patients. In the environmental area, QoL was statistically significant in the availability of health services in favor of the SG patients. When comparing the individual domains of the questionnaire, we found more significant differences in the sphere of mental experience and social relationships for the SG patients. Conclusions. Social intervention has a positive effect on treatment outcome, length of life and the life quality of breast cancer survivors and contributes significantly to coping with changes in social ties, sexual intimacy in marriages and partnerships, family relationships and has a positive effect on improving mental and physical health.

“…During its course, physical growth is usually finished (Langmeier, & Krejčířová, 1998;Vágnerová, 2000). Periodization by authors Žiaková, Barinková, Šiňanská (2017) defines adolescence as a whole period between childhood and adulthood, and lasts from 10 to 20 years or longer. According to Macek (2003), the social aspect of identity is important, social inclusion and satisfaction of need to belong somewhere.…”

A specific feature of the Roma community is socialization on two levels -integration into their own Roma community, and integration into the majority of society. This paper focuses on a specific group of adolescents, namely the Roma youth, while the social inclusion of this youth is considered by authors an important phenomenon, from which the life of the individual further unfolds, as well as risk behaviour manifested in it, in which adolescents participate to a greater extent compared to other developmental stages. On the empirical level, this paper focuses on the need for social inclusion and achieved social inclusion of respondents. The research sample consisted of Roma youth living in marginalized settlements in eastern Slovakia, and respondents living outside of Roma settlements. The result was the finding that these groups of adolescents do not differ in the need of social inclusion, but the achieved social inclusion demonstrated more in Roma adolescents living outside of the settlements. By comparing these two values, it has been shown that Roma adolescents living in settlements feel pushed away, unworthy of the attention of others, and underestimated. On the other hand, Roma living outside of settlements feel harassed, oppressed, and subjected to group pressure and social conventions. UDC Classification: 304,
