The rapidly spreading of COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of people's daily lives around the world. It has negative impact on society, a matter of great concern, especially for cancer patients. They are at increased risk of complications and mortality from coronavirus infection due to cancer and its treatment. Alongside the clinical risk, attention should be also paid to the psychological risks of the pandemic, especially regarding the increase in emotional stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness in patients. To date, there are only a limited number of studies examining the potential psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients. This narrative review synthesizes available findings including pandemic barriers to cancer care, as well as pandemic concerns and their subsequent psychosocial impact on quality of life in a particularly high-risk group of cancer patients. It highlights some of the care options for patients during the current pandemic, that can be used in case of future pandemics or in the post-pandemic period. An overview of these findings can provide a closer look of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of cancer patients and provide a better understanding of their concerns and overall well-being.

The occurrence of neoplastic disease is a serious and unsuccessful change in a man’s life situation. Support in coping with neoplastic disease is therapeutic education that is understood as allowing patients to acquire skills to recognize in themselves the internal forces and resources to fight the disease, to cope with emotions, to have constructive communication, to find the sense of illness. Helpful in achieving these objectives can be adventure education, which assumes that change can be achieved through direct and intentional contact with challenge, adventure and experience. The article presents qualitative research conducted among 20 cancer patients who participated in the workshop with the use of adventure. The study shows that participation in adventure education is conducive to looking at disease from a distance and promotes better coping with it. It also leads to the sick person’s amazement with the world, curiosity about life and other people, joy of small things and desire to enter into direct contact with nature.

Professional support for elderly people requires preparation to provide assistance in the face of a health loss, including oncological diseases, the risk of which increases especially at this stage of human development. A social worker asked to help a person who is struggling with an oncological disease needs to have a broad psychological, sociological and pedagogical knowledge. Working by applying the individual case method, a social worker focuses their support actions on a direct impact on the person and their social environment. Generally speaking, the purpose of the case work method is to strengthen the individual, raising their energy and internal abilities through a consciously directed process of individual work with the person, and (if the situation requires it) to extend the support by organising additional help from the specialised institutions , appropriate for solving a given problem. The theoretical background for the effective implementation of the case work method at the stage of diagnosis, then preparation of an assistance plan and implementation of planned intervention activities in the area of assistance to the elderly patients with an oncological disease, may be the concept of A. Maslow. It turns out that the usefulness of this theoretical concept has been repeatedly verified in practice, in processes of identifying the needs of seniors and planning interventions by social workers when dealing with the extremely difficult experience of an oncological disease in late adulthood. The advantage of the theoretical background discussed is that it indicates specific areas of biopsychosocial functioning, which requires concentration and diagnostic sensitivity of social workers in contact with a senior person that goes beyond the standard assessment of the client needs. The aim of this article is to bring closer the theoretical basis for diagnostic and intervention actions that can be undertaken by a social worker providing support to the seniors submitted to oncological treatment.

Artykuł dotyczy sytuacji rodziców w obliczu choroby onkologicznej ich dziecka. Celem omawianych w niniejszym artykule badań była analiza różnic w zakresie stylów radzenia sobie ze stresem u matek i ojców dzieci chorych onkologicznie, a także analiza powiązań pomiędzy lękiem jako cechą i stanem a stylami radzenia sobie. Wykorzystano następujące narzędzia badawcze: Kwestionariusz CISS oraz Inwentarz STAI. Wykazano większe natężenie stylu skoncentrowanego na emocjach u matek. W przypadku pozostałych stylów radzenia stwierdzono brak istotnych statystycznie różnic. Wykazano również, że zarówno lęk jako stan, jak i lęk jako cecha są powiązane dodatnio ze stylem skoncentrowanym na emocjach (silna korelacja) oraz ze stylem skoncentrowanym na unikaniu (umiarkowana korelacja). Badania potwierdziły, że sytuacja choroby nowotworowej dziecka i związanego z tym leczenia jest dla rodziców silnie stresogennym czynnikiem. W związku z tym ważne jest zapewnienie rodzicom dostępności pomocy psychologicznej.
