Abstracts

PL

Celem badania jest analiza właściwości psychometrycznych podskali Helpless–Hopeless z kwestionariusza Mini-MAC. Autorki przeprowadziły badania na próbie 420 pacjentów (mężczyźni = 85; kobiety = 335) w wieku od 19 do 87 lat, u których zdiagnozowano różne choroby onkologiczne. Wewnętrzna spójność podskali (α = 0,870) była bardzo dobra, zgodna z wynikami większości badań zagranicznych. Różnice między płciami wykazywały istotnie większą intensywność subiektywnej bezradności–beznadziejności oraz dyskomfortu fizycznego i psychicznego u pacjentów onkologicznych, będących w trakcie leczenia.

The aim of the study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the Helpless-Hopeless subscale from the Mini-MAC questionnaire. The authors based the study on a sample of 420 patients (men = 85; women = 335) aged 19 to 87 years, who were diagnosed with various types of cancer. The internal subscale consistency (α = 0.870) was very good, consistent with the results of most foreign studies. Gender-related differences showed significantly higher intensity of subjective helplessness and physical and mental discomfort in oncological patients undergoing treatment.
