Abstract

Kako je rak dojke najčešći oblik raka u žena u Republici Hrvatskoj, tako se povećava potreba za liječenjem istog. Uz potrebnu medicinsku pomoć, ženama oboljelima od raka dojke potrebna je i psihosocijalna podrška. Koja su iskustva pružanja psihosocijalne podrške i prijedlozi za djelotvoran razvoj psihosocijalne podrške ženama oboljelima od raka dojke pitanja su koja je potrebno analizirati upravo iz perspektive stručnjaka koji se bave navedenim. Ove činjenice motiv su nastanka diplomskog rada pod naslovom Psihosocijalna podrška ženama oboljelima od raka dojke: perspektiva stručnjaka.
Kroz kvalitativno istraživanje u ovom radu dolazi se do rezultata koji pokazuju kakva su sve iskustva stručnjaka u provedbi psihosocijalne podrške ženama oboljelima od raka dojke unutar udruge „Sve za nju“. Nadalje, dobiveni su rezultati koji pokazuju kako stručnjaci opisuju djelotvoran razvoj psihosocijalne podrške: financiranje psihosocijalne podrške, dostupnost psihosocijalne podrške, antistigma program i unaprjeđenje metoda i pristupa u radu.
Rezultati dovode do zaključka kako stručnjaci koji provode psihosocijalnu podršku ženama oboljelima od raka dojke imaju pozitivna iskustva i zadovoljni su svojim radom, ali isto tako vide prostor za napredak pružanja psihosocijalne podrške.

These facts are the motive behind the graduation thesis entitled Psychosocial Support for Women with Breast Cancer: An Expert Perspective.
Through qualitative research, this paper provides results that show what all the experiences of professionals in implementing psychosocial support for women with breast cancer within the association "Sve za nju". Furthermore, results were obtained showing how the experts describe the effective development of psychosocial support: financing psychosocial support, availability of psychosocial support, antistigma program and improvement of work methods and approaches.
The results conclude that experts conducting psychosocial support for women with breast cancer have positive experiences and are satisfied with their work, but also see room for progress in providing psychosocial support.
