The aim of the study was to evaluate the patient's psychological state in the advanced stage of cancerous disease and to assess the effect of sustenance provided by the nursing personnel upon the emotional state of the patient.
The study group comprised 46 subjects treated in palliative care medical wards in Łódź. The data were collected in accordance with the HADS-M questionnaire as well as a self-developed survey. The information obtained was analysed by means of Pearson χ(2) test.
The results obtained indicate that most subjects undergo mood aggravation. 76.2% of patients were diagnosed with depressive states. Only 19.6% of the population under investigation showed no signs of anxiety states. The study demonstrates irritation to be yet another unfavourable emotional state coupled with the advanced stage of cancerous disease with as few as 4.4% (4.2%) respondents claiming not to suffer any such symptoms. The patients highly prize the support they receive and it notably improved their well-being. Social support is essential in the advanced stage of the disease. Less severe mental disorders were noted in people who have received all kinds of support.
本研究旨在评估癌症晚期患者的心理状态，并评估护理人员提供的支持对患者情绪状态的影响。
研究组包括在罗兹姑息治疗病房接受治疗的46名受试者。数据根据HADS-M问卷以及自行编制的调查问卷收集。所获信息通过Pearson χ(2)检验进行分析。
所得结果表明，大多数受试者情绪恶化。76.2%的患者被诊断为抑郁状态。在接受调查的人群中，只有19.6%没有焦虑状态的迹象。研究表明，易怒是癌症晚期另一种不良情绪状态，只有4.4%（4.2%）的受访者声称没有此类症状。患者高度重视他们得到的支持，这显著改善了他们的幸福感。社会支持在疾病晚期至关重要。在获得各种支持的人群中，发现的精神障碍较轻。
