Background: Early surgical menopause increases risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, fracture, cognitive impairment and sexual dysfunction than women with late menopause. Estrogen therapy (ET) remains the most effective therapy for vasomotor symptoms related to surgically induced menopause. Meterials and Methods: It was a prospective cross-section study. Result: Amongst 255 symptomatic women, 163 (63.92%) women had severe vasomotor symptoms and 54 (33.12% of 163 women) of them had very incapacitating symptoms with marked reduction in their quality of life. 59 (23.13%) women had moderate symptoms with mild disturbances in their sleep while 33 (12.94%) women had only mild symptoms. Conclusion: It is agreed that women who undergo bilateral oophorectomy before the onset of natural menopause should be considered for estrogen therapy for the management of vasomotor symptoms until the average age of natural menopause.

After reorganization of ambulatory-polyclinic net of medical institutions in city Kyiv in 2013 and creation of centers of first medical care (FMC), the necessity in monitoring of patients’ satisfaction with received first medical care appeared. Aim. To estimate satisfaction of patients of FMC Centers of city Kyiv with received first medical care, to compare it with patients’ satisfaction in rural area of Ukraine and in European Union countries. Materials and methods. The cross-section study was realized in FMC centers of city Kyiv during 6 months of 2017 year. In total 397 persons, 18 years old and more, who addressed to doctors of the first link during no less than one year, were selected for the study. The used EUROPEP instrument, the questionnaire, consists of 23 questions with their possible assessment by Likert five-point scale and includes the following aspects: doctor-patient-relationship, assessment of direct medical care, information and support of a patient by a doctor, organization aspects of care, its accessibility. The internal succession of the questionnaire Cronbach's alpha was estimated, and its reliability was checked. Main indices of research results were mean EUROPEP indices (minimum 1, maximum 5). Results. The study has established, that satisfaction of Ukrainian patients with FMC (index - 75,5 %) is statistically reliably lower than indices of European Union countries. In average, only 37,16 % of respondents estimated the level of received FMC as “perfect” and correspondingly 38,35 % of patients as “good”. There were revealed problems with an access to medical care, namely: “Time of waiting for a consultation near a cabinet” received the least mark (3,29 and 45,59 % respectively), “Possibility of registration for consultation by phone” is also low (3,47 and 59,95 % respectively). Problems in communications, the low level of trust and doctor’s authority were revealed in the decreased index “Doctor’s help in fighting against negative emotions, connected with your health status” (3,72 and 56,17 % respectively). There was studied, that in Ukraine satisfaction of patients, who live in rural area, is statistically reliably lower than Kyiv indices. Conclusion. The study of satisfaction of patients with received FMC revealed imperfection of the existing system of first medical care. The research results may be used at elaborating new functional-organizational model of activity of first medical care, including patients’ satisfaction as an important component in the integrative dimension of the medical help quality.

Abstract Background In recent years, spiritual well-being has gradually gained the attention of health care providers in China, especially those in oncology departments, who have recognized the importance of improving spiritual well-being in cancer patients. Since most of the current research on spiritual well-being has been carried out in areas with religious beliefs, this study was conducted in the context of no development of formal religion. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between death anxiety and spiritual well-being and the related factors of spiritual well-being among gynecological cancer patients. Methods This cross-section study was conducted among 586 gynecological cancer patients. The European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-spiritual well-being32 (EORTC QLQ-SWB32) and Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (T-DAS) were used to measure spiritual well-being and death anxiety. The Multiple Linear Regression Model was used to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being and death anxiety. Results For all participants, the highest QLQ-SWB32 centesimal score was 75.13 on the Relationship with Other scale, and the lowest was 60.33 on the Relationship with Someone or Something Greater Scale. The mean Death Anxiety score was 5.31 (SD 3.18). We found that Relationship with Someone or Something Greater was the only scale not associated with death anxiety. Overall, patients with lower death anxiety have a higher level of spiritual well-being. Besides, a high Relationship with Other score was associated with living with a partner (B = 2.471, P < 0.001) and married (B = -6.475, P = 0.001). Patients with higher Global-SWB were retired (B = 0.387, P = 0.019). Conclusions Our study found that the spiritual well-being of patients with gynecological cancer in China was no worse than in other countries with religious beliefs and patients with lower death anxiety have a higher level of spiritual well-being. Clinical staff should pay attention to the spiritual health of cancer patients, and spiritual care should be regarded as an essential element in cancer care.
