The target of the thesis was to map stressful factors which are affecting on patients in oncology ward. First I had to study literature about cancer and what can be stressful for patients. Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells. Cells are spread by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion, or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis (where cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system). Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk tends to increase with age. It is one of the principal causes of death in developed countries. Sequels of cancer affect bio-psycho-social field of human. Patients have to be operated, have had hard therapy and some of patients have to stay many weeks in oncology ward. Patients go through difficult psychological periods and their families also. For everybody it is stressful term and after treatment patients are feared of relapse cancer. After treatment some of patients go back in their jobs and some of them have disability allowance or old age pension. After literature review about cancer I started with my research. I was attending oncology ward in the Hospital České Budějovice for 2 months. I talked with patients and assessed stressful factors. I chose 20 patients, 10 men and 10 women all sorts of age. By the results there has been confirmed one hypothesis. Hypothesis 1: Women with neoplasia have more stressful factors than men with neoplasia. Second hypothesis, I could not confirm because in my research, there was a few patients with higher education. Hypotesis 2: By patients with neoplasia, which have lower education, decreasing number of stressful factors. After research I determined Hypothesis 3: By patients with neoplasia, with growing age, decreasing number of stressful factors. I suppose that the target of the thesis has been reached.
