Abstract

Rak dojke najčešći je oblik raka u žena u Republici Hrvatskoj. Stopa smrtnosti među najvišima je u Europi te je i dalje u porastu. Upravo je ta činjenica jedan od motiva nastanka rada Psihosocijalna podrška ženama oboljelima od raka dojke.
Široka je lepeza stresora kod obolijevanje od raka dojke, a sadrži strah od moguće smrti, objavu bolesti članovima obitelji, saznanje o promjeni dotadašnjih životnih navika, socijalna stigmatizacija, nuspojave tretmana liječenja, promjene na vlastitom tijelu i mnogi drugi. Navedeni stresori imaju snažan utjecaj na mentalno zdravlje oboljelih žena. Kako bi se očuvalo mentalno zdravlje i dobrobit, ključnu ulogu imaju socijalni radnici u vidu pružanja psihosocijalne podrške.
U ovom radu će se prikazati uloga socijalnog radnika u pružanju psihosocijalne podrške ženama oboljelima od raka dojke. Psihosocijalna podrška ženama oboljelima od raka dojke odnosi se na proces fizičkog i psihičkog osnaživanja žene, njene obitelji i socijalnog okruženja kako bi u sebi i svojoj okolini pronašla ili stekla snage i načine za uspješno suočavanje sa stresom i brže se uključila u svakodnevni život.

Abstract (english)

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in the Republic of Croatia. The mortality rate is among the highest in Europe and it is still rising. Therefore, that fact has inspired us to write the following graduation thesis Psychosocial support for women with breast cancer.
There is a wide variety of stressors in breast cancer- fear of possible deaths, family disease reports, life habits changes, social stigmatization, side effects of treatment, body changes and many others. These stressors have a strong influence on the mental health of diseased women. In order to preserve mental health and wellbeing, social workers have a key role in providing psychosocial support.
This graduation thesis will outline the role of social worker in providing psychosocial support to women with breast cancer. Psychosocial support for women with breast cancer concerns the process of physical and psychological empowerment of woman, her family, and the social environment to find and gain strength and ways to successfully face stress and become more involved in everyday life.
