Uvod: Rak endometrija je ena pogostejših malignih bolezni pri ženskah v Sloveniji in pomembno vpliva na njihovo telesno, psihološko in socialno življenje. Bolnice se spoprijemajo z različnimi čustvenimi odzivi, kot so depresija, anksioznost, strah, negotovost in izguba samopodobe. Pojavijo se že ob diagnozi in lahko trajajo tudi po zaključku zdravljenja. Na stopnjo psihične obremenitve vplivajo sociodemografski in tudi klinični dejavniki. Pri zgodnjem odkrivanju duševnih težav in tudi pri njihovih nadaljnjih intervencijah imajo ključno vlogo medicinske sestre. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati in opredeliti ključne dejavnike tveganja za razvoj duševnih motenj ter proučiti učinkovite intervencije zdravstvene nege za zgodnje prepoznavanje in zmanjševanje duševnih težav. Metoda dela: Za raziskavo smo pregledali literaturo, ki je zajemala članke, objavljene v strokovnih in znanstvenih revijah v zadnjih desetih letih, prostodostopne na spletu. Vključene so bile raziskave iz mednarodnih podatkovnih baz Medline (PubMed), CINAHL in Science Direct. V pregled smo zajeli 14 virov, ki so ustrezali glede na vključitvene in izključitvene kriterije. Rezultati: Pregled literature je pokazal, da ženske z rakom materničnega telesa pogosto doživljajo povišano stopnjo anksioznosti, depresije in drugih psihičnih stisk, ki so povezane tako z diagnozo kot s potekom zdravljenja. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da na duševno zdravje pomembno vplivajo sociodemografski dejavniki, stadij bolezni in prisotnost socialne podpore. Raziskave poudarjajo, da lahko pravočasno prepoznavanje duševnih težav in ustrezne intervencije zdravstvene nege bistveno izboljšajo kakovost življenja bolnic. Med najučinkovitejše ukrepe sodijo psihološka podpora, edukacija in celostna, individualno prilagojena obravnava. Razprava in zaključek: Raziskava je pokazala, da na razvoj duševnih motenj pri ženskah z rakom materničnega telesa pomembno vplivajo sociodemografski in klinični dejavniki, pri čemer imajo medicinske sestre osrednjo vlogo pri zgodnjem odkrivanju psihološke stiske ter z ustreznimi, celostnimi in individualno usmerjenimi intervencijami bistveno prispevajo k zmanjševanju posledic duševnih motenj in izboljšanju kakovosti življenja žensk.

Abstract

Introduction: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases in women in Slovenia and has a significant impact on their physical, psychological and social lives. Patients face various emotional responses, such as depression, anxiety, fear, uncertainty and loss of self-esteem. They appear at the time of diagnosis and can persist even after the completion of treatment. The level of psychological burden is influenced by both sociodemographic and clinical factors. Nurses play a key role in the early detection of mental problems, as well as in their further interventions. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to research and identify key risk factors for the development of mental disorders, and to examine effective nursing interventions for the early recognition and reduction of mental problems. Methods: For the research, we conducted a literature review, which included articles published in professional and scientific journals in the last ten years, which were freely available online. Research from the international databases Medline (PubMed), CINAHL, Science Direct was included. We included 14 sources that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the review. Results: The literature review showed that women with uterine cancer often experience increased levels of anxiety, depression, and other psychological distress related to both the diagnosis and the course of treatment. It was found that mental health is significantly affected by sociodemographic factors, the stage of the disease, and the presence of social support. Research emphasizes that timely recognition of mental problems and appropriate nursing interventions can significantly improve the quality of life of patients. The most effective measures include psychological support, education, and comprehensive, individually tailored treatment. Discussion and conclusion: The research showed that the development of mental disorders in women with uterine cancer is significantly influenced by sociodemographic and clinical factors, with nurses playing an important role in the early detection of psychological distress and, with appropriate, comprehensive, and individually targeted interventions, significantly contributing to reducing the consequences of mental disorders and improving the quality of life of women.
