Aim of research. To study psychological condition of persons with oncological diseases and the labor effect on neutralization of their depressive state.
Methods. The work was carried out on the base of ““Argus” association of disabled persons rehabilitation” attached to the Social policy ministry where disabled persons with oncological diseases underwent vocational rehabilitation. One group included disabled persons who worked on the base of economic accountability production workshops attached to the association of disabled persons rehabilitation and the other one included disabled persons who did not work and only received material or financial help. Jmurov tests for detecting depression in disabled persons were used for assessment of psychological condition.
Results. Among working disabled persons with oncology an improvement of psychological condition was observed in 19 patients with oncological disease (12 disabled persons of III group, 7 disabled persons of II group) – the decrease of depression level in 8 weeks at working in conditions of rehabilitation center. The depressive state was not changed in 5 disabled persons (3 disabled persons of III group and 2 disabled persons of II group). The program of social welfare was carried out for disabled persons with oncological diseases who did not work. They received material and financial help. Psychological testing demonstrated the absence of changes in depressive state of 23 disabled persons with oncological diseases who did not work (11 disabled persons of III group, 12 disabled persons of II group). Positive changes in decrease of depression were detected in 5 disables persons (2 disabled persons of III group and 3 disabled persons of II group).
Conclusions. The analysis of received results demonstrated that giving material or financial help to disabled patients with oncology does not have any positive effect on correction of their depressive state. At the same time the work of disabled persons in the conditions of economic accountability production workshops attached to the rehabilitation center under constant control of medical workers and on the conditions of piecework payment decreases their level of depression
