Abstract

The article presents the results of research evaluating the mental and health status of patients with a malignant tumour diagnosis, both in single patients and those with family support. The research results showed differences in mood, health and general activity, anxiety state, and aggression. The results can be considered in the preparation of senior patients for operation and during the postoperative period for psychological support, a reduction of the length of stay, and minimization of complications.
