"Objective
The objective of the presented study was to investigate gender differences in the changes of value systems after a cancer diagnosis. Methods In the study, we used the Polish adaptation of the Rokeach Value Survey and compared within-subject differences in the obtained results from before (retrospective) and after patients' cancer diagnosis. In the analysis, we used the Aranowska ω Coefficient of Choice and Single-Sample t-test statistics. Results Generally, after cancer diagnosis communal values gained, and agentic - lost importance regardless of patients’ gender. However, we found statistically significant effects of gender in value system changes, namely agency values (“independent” and “intellectual”) become less important for men than women, while the communal value “Mature love” was placed higher by men than women. Conclusion The results of the study confirm our initial hypothesis about significant gender differences in the changes of the value system. Practice implications Obtained knowledge can be used to better predict patient motivation and behavior in the face of oncological treatment. It is important that gender differences are considered in the process of cancer patients treatment. It can be beneficial for communication between a doctor and a patient and for counseling regarding coping with the disease." |
