Ovarian tumors are the most common diseases of the female reproductive system that require comprehensive treatment. Any tumor diseases often cause negative consequences for mental health. In order to prevent undesirable mental reactions in patients who have suffered from such a disease, it is necessary to apply rehabilitation measures. Restorative treatment methods accelerate regeneration of body functions, reduce the frequency of complications, thereby improving the prognosis of the disease. The aim of the study is to study the impact of medical and psychological rehabilitation on the quality of life in patients who have suffered a borderline ovarian tumor. Materials and methods. Medical and psychological rehabilitation, which consists of a set of measures, is important in the recovery of patients with borderline ovarian tumors. These methods help to cope faster with unpleasant and adverse symptoms caused by the disease. In this work, medical and psychological monitoring of 30 patients was carried out, the average age was 28 years, and all patients were diagnosed with borderline ovarian tumor. Research results. It was found that in patients with borderline ovarian tumors who underwent complex rehabilitation measures, the risk of mental disorders decreased. For the first time, a questionnaire entitled "Scale for assessing the severity of the risk for dependent behavior development in patients with borderline ovarian tumor" was used to evaluate the results. Conclusions. Patients who suffered a borderline ovarian tumor and underwent a course of medical and psychological rehabilitation are better adapted to all areas of daily life. Various techniques designed to work with stress significantly improve the quality of life in patients. After carrying out the complex of rehabilitation measures, the risk of mental disorders is minimal. Such patients did not have symptoms of anxiety and depression.
