In order to shed light on their difficulties,148patients were surveyed who had been in remission for more thanfive years after a confirmed malignancy. The goal was to find out what their feelings were concerning the check-ups, and in particular if they would trust their oncologist that such check-ups were no longer necessary. One of our essential questions was: What would be the patient's response? The study revealed that 40% of the patients would have felt relieved upon hearing that regular follow-up visits were no longer needed. However, 30% of them would have felt discriminated against and unprotected. Based on all of the above, wecame to a conclusion that a decision to stop further check-ups should be made only with the patient's approvalV tujini so počasi začeli opuščati rutinske preglede pri zdravniku onkologu, saj je malo dokazov, da le-ti vplivajo na bolnikovo preživetje in kakovost življenja. Da bi osvetlili bolnikovo doživljanje kontrolnih pregledov, smo anketirali 148 bolnikov s potrjeno diagnozo rakave (maligne) bolezni, ki so ževeč kot pet let v remisiji. Zanimalo nas je njihovo doživljanje kontrolnih pregledov. Predvsem smo si želeli vedeti, ali bi zaupali presoji zdravnika onkologa, da pregledi na Onkološkem inštitutu niso več potrebni in kako bi se takrat počutili. Rezultati so pokazali, da bi v takem primeru 40% anketirancevčutilo olajšanje; na drugi strani pa bi se 30% bolnikov počutilo zapostavljenih in ogroženih. Odločitev o kontrolnih pregledih pri specialistu naj bo sprejeta po pogovoru z bolnikomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo Medicinski razgledi
