УДК 159.923
Abstract
Introduction: this article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of psychological time deformations in women with oncological diseases of the reproductive system.Special attention is paid to the experience of the psychological past in the context of a fractured event of the present. This kind of emphasis in the conducted study is due to the importance of an individual in constructing an optimal perspective on the entire life, including the future, based on an accepted, meaningful past. Materials and methods: the study involved 150 women with malignant and benign neoplasms of the reproductive systemorgans aged 19 to 45 years. Psychodiagnostic techniques were used as research methods: “Cyclic time test” T. Cottle, time perspective questionnaire by F. Zimbardo in the adaptation of A. Syrtsova and O. V. Mitina, “Scales of attitudes to time” by J. Nyten, “Color test of relationships” by A. M. Etkind. Results: it is established that in women a traumatic event associated with gynecological pathology provokes the realization of the impossibility of solving the arisen contradictions by means of available knowledge and experience, leads to changes in the established life support. There is a frustration of the past, the destruction of those values that constituted the meaning of human life in the past. In this case, there is a feeling of a life lived in vain. Women with cancer perceive their past as a chain of negative health-related events. Conclusions: a study conducted in a group of women undergoing specialized treatment revealed the phenomenon of "blackening the past," which significantly influences the choice of life strategy in general and recovery in particular.In turn, women in remission experience a rethinking of the past, related to the diagnosis and stages of treatment, with a view to restructuring their lives and activities.
