Abstract: Social relations are a component in the quality of life that the World Health Organization sets as an area of its main tool for its research. The presence of oncological disease causes damage to the human individual in physical, social and psychological aspects. The article presents the results of a conducted research with the purpose to identify deficits in quality of life in terms of social relations which are caused by oncological disease. The research was conducted among 304 persons in the age group 35-60 years, diagnosed with oncological disease varying its duration of treatment. The research tool used is a questionnaire developed by the author for the purposes of the research. The article presents a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results obtained. Deficits in the quality of life have been identified in terms of social relations caused by cancer at different stages of the disease. The role of the social work with people with oncological diseases for preserving their quality of life to the maximum extent is substantiated.
Key words: oncological disease, social work, social relations, quality of life.
