Uvod: Soočenje z diagnozo raka je za paciente izjemno stresen in zahteven dogodek. V tem trenutku se soočajo s številnimi izzivi, kot so strah pred smrtjo, negotovost glede prihodnosti, bolečina in stranski učinki zdravljenja. V tej težki situaciji imajo zdravstveni delavci ključno vlogo pri zagotavljanju ustrezne oskrbe in podpore. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je opredeliti etične vidike zdravstvenih delavcev pri pacientih, ki se soočajo z diagnozo rak. Metode dela: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda dela s sistematičnim pregledom strokovne in znanstvene domače ter tuje literature. Osredotočili smo se na štiri z etiko povezana področja, in to so: avtonomija, evtanazija, bolečina in komunikacija. Časovni okvir je zajemal literaturo od leta 2012 do 2024 iskane preko oddaljenega dostopa v podatkovnih bazah Medline, PubMed, Cobib ter v spletnem portalu Google učenjak. Rezultati: Soočenje pacientov z diagnozo rak je za medicinske sestre lahko stresno in težko, saj morajo pacientom zagotavljati kakovostno oskrbo in podporo. Poleg fizične in psihološke obremenitve se zdravstveni delavci pri svojem delu srečujejo s številnimi etičnimi dilemami, kot so težave v komunikaciji avtonomiji, odločanju o evtanaziji in zmanjševanju stopnje bolečine. Razprava in zaključek: Z zagotavljanjem celovite, sočutne in etične oskrbe lahko zdravstveni delavci pomagajo pacientom z rakom in njihovim družinam bolje obvladovati to težko bolezen in izboljšati kakovost njihovega življenja.

• Title: Ethical aspects of health professionals in dealing with patients diagnosed with cancer : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Confronting a cancer diagnosis is an extremely stressful and challenging event for patients. At the moment, they face many challenges, such as fear of death, uncertainty about the future, pain, and the side effects of treatment. In this difficult situation, healthcare professionals have a crucial role to play in providing appropriate care and support. Purpose: The Purpose of the thesis is to define ethical aspects of healthcare professionals in patients facing a cancer diagnosis. Methods: A descriptive method of work was used with a systematic review of professional and scientific domestic and foreign literature. We focused on four ethical areas: autonomy, euthanasia, pain and communication. The time frame covered literature from 2012 to 2024 searched remotely from Medline, PubMed, Cobib and the Google Scholar web portal. Results: Facing patients with a diagnosis can be stressful and difficult for nurses, as they must provide quality care and support to the patient. In addition to physical and psychological stress, nurses face many ethical dilemmas in their work, such as problems in communication, autonomy, deciding on euthanasia and reducing the level of pain. Discussion and conclusion: By providing comprehensive, compassionate and ethical care, healthcare professionals can help cancer patients and their families better manage this difficult disease and improve their quality of life
