The aim of the study was a comparison of two groups of women who suffered from breast cancer in the past, selected on the basis of the time elapsed since treatment completion (<7 and >7 years). The specific areas of interest were the quality of life, sense of control, and level of depression. Results from 37 women were analysed. The average age in the research sample was 57. The study was conducted with the use of EORTC QLQ-C30, MHLC, and Depression Assessment Questionnaire. Women in whose case the time elapsed since the completion of anticancer treatment is no more than 7 years have a more negative assessment of the quality of life aspects, that is physical and social functioning, in comparison to persons in whose case the adaptation time to changes, following cancer and treatment, is longer (more than 7 years). The studied persons with a shorter period elapsed since the completion of anticancer therapy hold stronger beliefs concerning their own influence on their health in comparison to women who have not undergone oncological treatment for at least 7 years. The author’s own research highlights the trend pertaining to the differences in the intensity of experiencing guilt and anxiety between the groups. However, it requires further research involving a larger group of studied patients. Despite the progress in the diagnostics and treatment of breast cancer, patients with this type of cancer still experience long-term subjective difficulties in areas making up their physical, mental, and social well-being. The research proves the differences in functioning of women depending on the time that has elapsed since the completion of anticancer treatment.

Two-pronged Programming of Speech Therapy with the Application of AAC MethodsyTwo-pronged (simultaneous) programming of language and communication skills consists of both improving production and comprehension of speech as well as learning of the augmentative communication methods. It is an important element of speech therapy. The introduction of alternative means of communication is part of a process aimed at developing speech. It can become a unique basis for building a language in one’s mind. The article seeks to highlight the legitimacy of two-pronged programming of speech therapy. Providing children with a means of communication early enough does develop their communication and language skills.Key words: two-pronged programming of therapy, speech and language therapy, AAC methods, simultaneous communication

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie zmian w poziomie funkcjonowania poznawczego i afektywnego u pacjentów chorych na szpiczaka mnogiego przechodzących chemoterapię. Do określenia ogólnego stanu poznawczego pacjentów użyto Montrealskiej Skali Oceny Funkcji Poznawczych – metody przesiewowej. Ogólny poziom depresji oraz charakterystyczne objawy tego zaburzenia zostały określone na podstawie narzędzia – Kwestionariusza do Pomiaru Depresji. Uzyskano pierwsze wstępne wyniki badań własnych, które przy zwiększeniu próby badawczej mogłyby świadczyć lepszym funkcjonowaniu poznawczym pacjentów chorych na szpiczaka mnogiego w trakcie leczenia chemioterapeutycznego. Ponadto odnotowano spadek objawów depresji, tj. poczucia winy i napięcia lękowego podczas terapii onkologicznej. Badania wymagają kontynuacji, ze względu na nieliczną grupę osób badanych (n = 21), wyniki na poziomie tendencji statystycznej oraz chęć porównania rezultatów badanych z grupą osób zdrowych (bez diagnozy nowotworu).

The aim of the article is to study the changes in the level of cognitive and affective functioning in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing chemotherapy. Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) – screening method – was used to determine the general cognitive state of patients. The general level of depression and its characteristic symptoms were determined with the use of Depression Measurement Questionnaire. Gathering first initial results of author’s own research – increasing the research sample could indicate an improved cognitive functioning in patients with multiple myeloma during chemotherapeutic treatment. Moreover, the research demonstrates a decrease in depression symptoms, i.e., self-blame and anxiety states, during chemotherapy. The study requires further research owing to a small group of research participants (n = 21), the presence of research data at the level of statistical tendency, and a need for a comparison with a group of healthy people (without a cancer diagnosis).
