Abstract

Introduction. In the case of oncological patients, early implementation of treatment is a key matter. Any delays oc curring on each of the levels of diagnostic and therapeutic processes may affect the outliving of the patients. Elimina tion of their reasons could reduce the time scale of the de lays, increase the percentage of cancer instances detected in initial stages, as well as improve patients’ prognoses. Aim. The basic objective of this thesis was to identify the main reasons for the delays in the treatment of oncological patients. The additional goal was to establish the sources of information on prophylaxis collected by the patients. Material and methods. The research comprised108 people who were treated in a stationary treatment system in two specialized oncology centers in Podkarpacie. The method consisted in a diagnostic poll and the employed technique was a survey carried out in the form of a standardized inter view. Results. Among the reasons for the delays that patients contributed to the most commonly mentioned were: lack of knowledge about the symptoms that could suggest cancer and as well as disregarding the symptoms. Eighty-one per cent of the respondents gave more than one reason. Among all respondents, 84% do not know the symptoms that may suggest cancer, 98% claim that actions, which promote this area of knowledge, are needed, and the highest rated source of information is a GP.

在Podkarpackie省恶性癌症患者治疗延误的原因
介绍。就肿瘤患者而言,早期实施治疗是关键问题。在诊断和治疗过程的各个层面上的任何延迟都可能影响患者的寿命。消除这些原因可以减少延迟的时间尺度,增加在初始阶段检测到的癌症病例的百分比,并改善患者的预后。的目标。本论文的基本目的是找出肿瘤患者治疗延误的主要原因。另一个目标是确定患者收集的预防信息的来源。材料和方法。该研究包括108名患者,他们在Podkarpacie的两个专业肿瘤中心的固定治疗系统中接受治疗。方法为诊断性问卷调查,所采用的技术为标准化访谈形式的问卷调查。结果。患者造成延误的原因中最常提到的是:对可能表明癌症的症状缺乏了解以及忽视症状。81%的受访者给出了不止一个理由。在所有答复者中,84%的人不知道可能表明癌症的症状,98%的人声称需要采取行动,促进这一领域的知识,而最高评级的信息来源是全科医生。
