• evaluation of the independence of patients before and after surgery for head tumors at different stages of the disease - benign tumors (meningiomas) and malignant tumors in stage I, II and III, evaluation of what factors affected the different independence of patients
• Multidimensional evaluation of perceived social support of patients before and after surgery for head cancers - benign ( meningiomas) and malignant tumors in stage I, II and III, taking into account three sources of support: significant person, family and friends Scientific (research) problems: \- What is the quality of life of patients before and after surgery for benign ( meningiomas) and malignant head cancers at stages I, II and III ?
