Social identity disorders in patients with colorectal cancer (colostomy)
The article is devoted to the study of social identity disorders in patients with colorectal cancer (colostomy). Social identity, regarded as a systemic integrative phenomenon which is realized on the structural-phenomenological level, gets broken in case of cancer. Social identity in patients both with colorectal cancer and with blood cancer is characterized by diffuse-status structure with high mismatch at the level of structural organization of simple undifferentiated cognitive constructs, mismatch of value orientations while reducing the overall motivational activity (reducing the differentiated motives in patients with hematological cancer and motivation aimed at maintaining life support in patients with colorectal cancer).
