Abstract

Relevance. Prostate cancer remains one of the major public health problems worldwide, as it is accompanied by high rates of morbidity and mortality. Purpose. The work is devoted to the study of the role of subjective age in the system of psychological factors of the course of the disease in men with prostate cancer; in this part of the work, attention is focused on the relationship between subjective age and quality of life. Materials and methods. The study involved 127 men aged 53 to 85 years (М=68; Ме=69; SD=10,27) diagnosed with prostate cancer (stage I of the disease – 16 men; stage II – 64; stage III – 13; IV – 34; favorable course of the disease – 40 people, unfavorable - 61). In addition to socio-demographic data, subjective age was studied (B. Barak questionnaire in adaptation by E.A. Sergienko, 2011), quality of life – subjective health assessments (SF-36 questionnaire in adaptation by K.G. Gurevich, E.G. Fabrikant, 2008). This work consists of two parts describing the role of subjective age in the system of psychological factors in men with prostate cancer. Part I of the article is devoted to the analysis of the role of subjective age and quality of life assessments. Three subgroups were identified according to estimates of subjective age: those who feel younger than their passport age (80 people), adequate to their age (44 people) and older (3 people). Results and conclusions. The analysis of men with different perceptions of subjective age with a favorable and unfavorable course of the disease was carried out. It is shown that men who feel younger concentrate on the physical aspects of health and their own vitality, fearing for the level of their own activity and compliance with gender functioning, regardless of the prosperous/dysfunctional course of the disease.
