Studie se snaţí zodpovědět otázku, jak vnímají, proţívají a hodnotí svou kvalitu ţivota ţeny v období mateřství. Nepouţívá však běţný dotazník, jehoţ znění je stejné pro všechny ţeny a je tedy zaměřen na neexistující „průměrnou ţenu“. Naopak vyuţívá individualizovaného přístupu, kdy ţena můţe sama nadefinovat a poté zhodnotit ty oblasti ţivota a ţivotní cíle, na nichţ právě jí záleţí. Cíl: 1. vyzkoušet metodu SEIQoL (Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life) v mateřství, 2. identifikovat spektrum jejich ţivotních cílů a míru jejich naplňování, 3. stanovit kvalitu jejich ţivota, 4. zjistit vztah mezi uváděnou kvalitou ţivota a volbou ţivotních cílů. Metodika: Metoda SEIQoL v úpravě J. Křivohlavého (2001), statistická analýza dat pomocí programu NCSS 8. Výsledky: U souboru 43 ţen respondentky uvedly celkem 16 ţivotních cílů. Subjektivně udávaná celková kvalita ţivota je poněkud vyšší (81,4), neţ kvalita vypočítaná u dílčích cílů (76,2). Obě stupnice spolu středně korelují (r = 0,513), rozdíl je na hranici statistické významnosti (p = 0,0862). Dále se u obou porovnávaly roz díly mezi vzděláním ţen, počtem dětí a vedením porodu. Závěr: V našem zkoumaném souboru byly ţeny v období mateřství s kvalitou ţivota spokojené. Nejfrekventovanější ţivotní cíle pro ně byly rodina, zdraví, zaměstnání, přátelé a finanční zajištění. Zajímavé zjištění bylo, ţe nebyly shledány statisticky významné rozdíly v kvalitě ţivota dle počtu dětí, vzdělání ţen a vedením porodu., The study is trying to answer the question of how women in their motherhood perceive, experience and evaluate their quality of life. Unlike a standard questionnaire which is the same for all women, an individualized approach was used, with women identifying and then evaluating their own most important areas and goals of life. Aim: (1) to test the Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life (SEIQoL) instrument in motherhood, (2) to identify the spectrum of their life goals and degree of their realization, (3) to determine the quality of their life, and (4) to determine the relationship between the stated quality of life and choice of life goals. Methods: The SEIQoL instrument adapted by Křivohlavý (2001); statistical analysis of data using the NCSS 8 software. Results: A group of 43 respondents stated a total of 16 life goals. The overall subjective quality of life is slightly higher (81.4) than the quality calculated from sub-goals (76.2). Both scales are moderately correlated (r = 0.513), the difference is on the edge of statistical significance (p = 0.0862). Differences in women’s education, number of children and management of delivery were also compared. Conclusion: In our sample, women were satisfied with the quality of life in their motherhood. The most frequent life goals were family, health, job, friends and financial security. No statistically significant differences in the quality of life were found with respect to the women’s number of children, education and management of delivery., Eva Vachková, Eva Čermáková, Jiří Mareš, and Literatura
Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common in very premature infants. Pharmacological closure of PDA with indomethacin, a prostaglandin inhibitor, has remained the mainstay of treatment in premature infants over the last three decades. Intravenous ibuprofen was recently shown to be as effective and to have fewer adverse reaction in preterm infants. If equally effective, then oral ibuprofen for PDA closure would have several important advantages over the intravenous route. This study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of oral ibuprofen and intravenous ibuprofen for the early pharmacological treatment of PDA in LBW preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Methods A randomized, single-blinded, controlled study was performed on premature neonates at the neonatal care unit of the University Hospital for Obstetrics and Gynecology”Koco Gliozheni”, Tirana, Albania, from January 2010 to December 2012. The study enrolled 68 preterm infants with gestational age between 28-32 weeks, birth weight ≤ 2000 g, postnatal age 48-96 h, and had echocardiographically confirmed significant PDA. The preterm infants received either intravenous or oral ibuprofen randomly as an initial dose of 10 mg/kg, followed by 5 mg/kg at 24 and 48 h. After the first dose of treatment in both groups, echocardiographic evaluation was performed, to determine the need for a second or third dose. The rate of ductal closure, adverse effects, complications, and the patient’s clinical course were recorded. Results All patients were born after 28 until 32 weeks’ gestation. 36 patients were treated with oral ibuprofen and 32 with intravenous ibuprofen in this period. After the first course of the treatment, the PDA closed in 30 (83.3%) of the patients assigned to the oral ibuprofen group versus 23 (71.8%) of those enrolled in the intravenous ibuprofen group (p = 0.355). There was no difference between treatment groups in demographics or baseline renal function. In the evaluation of renal tolerance, none of the patients had oliguria. There were no significant differences with respect to complications during the stay. Conclusions In low birth weight infants, the rate of early ductal closure with oral ibuprofen is at least as good as with the intravenous route. Oral ibuprofen is associated with fewer adverse effects, Alketa Hoxha, Ermira Kola, Numila Kuneshka, Eduard Tushe, and Literatura
