According to the data of the national cancer registry of Ukraine, the number of patients registered with cancer institutions as of the beginning of 2020 is 1,159,500 people.
Such impressive statistics indicate that a huge number of people suffering from an intractable disease are in dire need of psychological support.
Faced with an oncological diagnosis, a person becomes very vulnerable and vulnerable, even if outwardly calm, full of strength and decisiveness, because he is faced with a direct threat to life and health. The new reality, the need for treatment, the search for a clinic and a doctor, undoubtedly cause psychological distress in a person.
The state of distress can significantly reduce the patient's quality of life and the results of cancer treatment, as well as negatively affect his physical condition and relationships with loved ones.
More than 40% of cancer patients suffer from intense emotional distress, which can be reduced with timely professional psychological assistance.
Face-to-face meetings with a psychologist can often be inaccessible to cancer patients and their relatives due to lack of time, opportunity, remoteness of the psychologist's office or for economic reasons.
Technical capabilities today allow specialists in the field of psycho-oncology to provide psychological assistance around the world without any effort, which is why online psychologist consultations have become very popular.
Let's try to figure out what is important such consultations can give to cancer patients, palliative patients and their relatives.
First of all, online consultation with an oncological psychologist provides the following opportunities:
- Get professional psychological help without leaving your home or hospital;
- without wasting precious time on the road, get the necessary support, which is very important for relatives when caring for a sick person;
- if it is difficult for you to move, each trip requires a lot of effort, online consultation will help you save energy and direct them to treatment and recovery;
- to receive regular psychological support if there is no oncopsychologist in the place of your residence or treatment, or if it is very difficult to get to such a specialist;
- take time for yourself to communicate with a person, ready to listen and hear, regardless of the complexity of your condition;
- make your meetings with the psychologist more private and confidential.
Timely appeal of cancer patients for psychological help will help:
- improve the emotional state and quality of life;
- focus on treating the underlying disease and improve its effectiveness;
- reduce anxiety and fears about the current situation;
- improve relationships with others;
- transform your experience of living with cancer diagnostics into a resource for overcoming the disease.
Online help from a professional psychologist is a way to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
