Cíl: Průzkumné šetření zjišťovalo schopnosti spolupráce nemocných při léčbě Warfarinem a dodrţování léčebného reţimu v průběhu dlouhodobé antikoagulační terapie Warfarinem. Konkrétně byla mapována a vyhodnocena úroveň edukace sestrou, informovanost a adherence k léčbě u pacientů léčených Warfarinem. Metodika: Průzkumný soubor tvořilo 108 pacientů evidovaných v ambulantním léčení interní a kardiologické ambulance při interním oddělení Nemocnice ve Frýdku-Místku. Průzkumné šetření probíhalo v prosinci roku 2010 a lednu roku 2011. Pro sběr dat byla vyuţita metoda dotazníkového šetření. Výsledky: Výsledky průzkumného šetření ukazují, ţe naprostá většina pacientů léčených Warfarinem se aktivně podílí na léčebném procesu. Nemocným se od zdravotníků dostává poučení o léčbě, sestry se na edukaci podílejí v 75 %. Většina dotázaných dochází na pravidelné kontroly a zná zpaměti uţívanou dávku léku. Čtvrtina nemocných však není schopna uvést krvácení jako hlavní riziko léčby. Převáţná většina respondentů si je vědoma skutečnosti, ţe účinek léčby můţe být ovlivněn sloţením přijímané potravy, méně neţ polovina respondentů zná interakci Warfarinu s jinými léky či doplňky stravy. Nemocní mají na zřeteli, ţe je nutno informovat kaţdého lékaře o této léčbě, jen polovina respondentů však informuje i lékárníka. Závěr: Adherence k léčbě ze strany pacienta je základem úspěšné a bezpečné terapie Warfarinem. Cílem všech zdravotníků by měla být snaha o kvalitní a efektivní komunikaci s nemocnými, snaha o dosaţení co nejvyšší úrovně spolupráce, ochoty a schopnosti pacientů řídit se pokyny zdravotníků. Tím se výrazně zvýší úspěšnost léčby a eliminuje se riziko moţných komplikací léčby., Aim: Exploratory investigation ascertained capabilities of cooperation of patients when treated with warfarin and adherence to treatment regimen during long term anticoagulant therapy by warfarin. Specifically was mapped and assessed the level of education by nurse, foreknowledge and adherence to treatment in patients treated with warfarin. Methods: The exploratory set consisted of 108 patients, who were registered in ambulant treatment of internal and cardiac ambulance at internal department of Hospital in Frydek-Mistek. Exploratory investigation took place in December 2010 and January 2011. For data collection was used method of questionnaire survey. Results: The results of questionnaire survey show, that absolute majority of patients treated with warfarin is actively participating in the treatment process. The patients receive from the health care providers education about the treatment, nurses are participating in education in 75%. Majority of respondents have regular check ups and knows by heart the dose of the drug. A quarter of patients is not able to state bleeding as the main risk of treatment. The vast majority of respondents are aware of the fact, that the treatment effect may be influenced by the composition of the diet, less than half of the respondents know the warfarin interactions with other medication or supplements. Patients have in mind that every doctor should be informed about this treatment, only half of the respondents, however, informs as well the pharmacist. Conclusion: Adherence to treatment by the patient is the foundation of a successful and safe warfarin therapy. The goal of all health professionals should be to aim for quality and effective communication with patients, effort to achieve the highest level of cooperation, willingness and ability of patients to follow medical instructions. This greatly increases the effectiveness of treatment and eliminates the risk of potential complications of treatment., Michaela Teperová, Lucie Sikorová, and Literatura 8
Kvalita ţivota je ovlivněna zdravotním stavem, který zahrnuje fyzické, psychické a sociální charakteristiky. Největším zdravotním, ale i společenským problémem současné epochy nejsou nemoci akutní, ale nemoci dlouhodobé, chronické a trvalé. Výzkum se zaměřuje na oblast sexuality u pacientů s hypertenzí, s důrazem na holistické pojetí lidské osobnosti, hlubší vnímání a proţívání sexuálního ţivota, sexuálních potřeb pacientů. Cíl: Cílem kvalitativního šetření bylo zjistit, zda léčba hypertenze ovlivňuje sexuální potřeby pacientů. Metodika: Výzkumný soubor tvořilo 20 respondentů, výběr zkoumaného vzorku byl záměrný, byli to pacienti, kteří se léčili pro hypertenzi minimálně 1 rok ve Fakultní nemocnici Ostrava. Výzkum byl proveden pomocí kvalitativní metody, sběr dat byl proveden rozhovorem, který byl nahráván na diktafon v příjemném, nerušeném prostředí. Ve výzkumu byla pouţita metoda barvení textu s definovanými 4 kategoriemi a podkategoriemi. Výsledky: Z analýzy rozhovorů vyplynulo, ţe u některých pacientů antihypertenzní terapie negativně ovlivnila jejich sexuální potřeby. Byl zjištěn výskyt sexuálních dysfunkcí, u ţen se jednalo o sníţený sexuální apetit, sníţenou lubrikační schopnost, delší interval k vyvrcholení a u muţe byl objeven problém s erekcí. Závěr: V rámci subjektivní spokojenosti s vlastní sexualitou u pacientů, kteří se léčí s arteriální hypertenzí je důleţitá znalost vedlejších účinků a následná edukace s vyuţitím výsledků vědeckých studií domácích i zahraničních odborníků., The quality of life is influenced by health condition, which include physical, psychological and social features. The biggest, not only medical but also social problem nowadays are not acute diseases but long-term diseases, chronical and permanent. The research is concentrated on the sphere of sexuality among patients with hypertension, with stress on holistic concept of human being, deeper perception and experiencing of sexual life and sexual needs of patients. Aim: The aim of qualitative research was to find out how the treatment of hypertension influences sexual needs of patients. Methods: Researched sample was formed by 20 respondents.

There was found out the occurrence of sexual dysfunctions. Among women it was lower sexual appetite, lower lubricative ability, longer time for climax and among men was found the problem with erection. Conclusion: Well-timed diagnostics of hypertension, active attitude to sexual life and knowledge of side effects during hypertension therapy can influence sexual experience and satisfaction of patients., Bohdana Břegová, Yvetta Vrublová, and Literatura
Assaultive acts committed by people with a mental illness is a major public health issue that affects patients with their families, law enforcement authorities, and the public at large. Failure to provide treatment is in fact a major predictor of assaultive acts in patients with schizophrenia living in the community. Considering that the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia have similar sociocultural characteristics, these factors may be reflected in individuals with schizophrenia who have committed serious assaultive acts in Uzbekistan. Objectives: The aim of the work was to identify the sociocultural and clinical characteristics of schizophrenic representatives of indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia who have committed violent crimes in Uzbekistan and have been found insane in regard to their offence, and to compare these subjects to ones belonging to the other ethnic groups. Material and methods: The data were collected in 2010–2013 in the Tashkent High Security Psychiatric Hospital via face-to-face interviews and also from the patients’ charts and from forensic psychiatric examination statements. Results: The sample consisted of 201 individuals. The sample was 90.1 percent (n = 181) male, with a predominance of the paranoid schizophrenia subtype according to the ICD-10 criteria. Of the subjects, 174 ones (86.6%) were representatives of the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia, and 27 ones (13.4%) were representatives of other ethnic groups. The duration of illness among the subjects belonging to the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia was less than in the other group; the individuals were rarely referred to psychiatric care because of the popularity of alternative medicine and the stigma attached to mental illness. A positive correlation between violence and various psychotic symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorder, has also been demonstrated in this group. European Medical, Health and Pharmaceutical Journal ISSN 1804-5804 Conclusions: Sociocultural characteristics, such as delayed referral for psychiatric care because of the popularity of alternative medicine and the stigma attached to mental illness among the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia, frequently factor into committing serious acts of assault because of developing psychotic symptoms at the early stages of disease despite their sufficient socioenvironmental adaptation., Saida Yеshimbetova, Bulat Chembaev, and Literatura
Comparative assessment of clinical efficiency of omeprazole and rabeprazole in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). 65 patients with a verified diagnosis GERD were examined. Comparative clinical investigations of using of omeprazole and rabeprazole have revealed effectiveness of both drugs in the therapy of GERD. However, rabeprazole showed antisecretory action in the earlier periods, providing stable clinical remission of GERD and early scarring of erosive lesions of the esophageal mucosa, compared with omeprazole., Mirvasit Karimov, Abdujabar Akhmatkhodjaev, and Literatura
The target of research was the implementation of the comparative analysis of conservative therapy of preparation of basic therapy and also new methods of treatment (anticytokine therapy). Appointment of salofalk in twos tablets (0, 5) 34 times a day per os, and also 2,0 gr in the form of a rectal enema unitary for a period of seven days, then had transferd the patients to reception 2,0 gr salofalk per os, allowed to achieve substantial improvement patients cliniclaboratory and endoscopic symptoms with a heavy intensification of ulcer colitis variation, providing full cliniclabaratory remissions achievements of disease at 8 (34 %) patients. In the Minister of the Uzbek Public Health of the Republican Science Coloproctological Center at 10 patients with the IDI have spent the therapy remicade, 7 of them had NUC and 3 patients had the Crohn's disease. Therefore, all patients no longer than on the first week after introduction of remicade had improvement of a course disease which was expressed in defering stool, extinction or reduction of pathological impurity in excrement and subsidence bellyaches. During colonoscopical inspection, in 1218 weeks after the first infusion at 80% of the patients had observed disappearance of ulcers and erosion. In terms of 6 months of supervision of relapse of disease was not noted. All new directions in treatment of the IDI, apparently, are perspective, but while are proved only theoretically and had no practical development. Unique and enough effective and safe method at the IDI and already has clinical acknowledgement is remicade., Matkarimov S. R., Rustamov A. E., Rahmonov S. T., and Literatura
Colonic polyps and polyposis are studied in 183 patients. It has been found, that sensitivity of rectoscopy is 66.7%, irrigoscopy 61.1%, virtual colonoscopy computeraided tomography of colon (VCCATC) 79.1%. Endoscopic polypectomy was the main treatment method used in patents with colonic polyps and polyposis (18.6%). In cases of surgical treatment (57.9%) in patients with total involvement of colon colproctectomy with formation of ileal reservoir can be considered as the method of choice., Sapaev D.

Cieľ: Cieľom štúdie bolo preskúmať, ako sestry vnímajú svoju úroveň dôstojného prístupu k pacientom v domovoch sociálnych služieb (DSS) a identifikovať, či existujú významné vzťahy medzi úrovňou dôstojného prístupu k pacientom v DSS a demografickými znakmi (vek sestier, dĺžka praxe, vzdelanie a pod.). Metodika: Výskumný súbor tvorilo 106 sestier pracujúcich v domovoch sociálnych služieb v zriaďovateľskej pôsobnosti Trnavského samosprávneho kraja. Výskum prebiehal v období december 2011 až február 2012. Na zistenie úrovne dôstojného prístupu sme využili autorizovaný dotazník: Posudzovanie etických problémov – dôstojný prístup k pacientovi. Tvorí ho 5 subškál (informovanosť pacientov; autonómia; dodržiavanie dôvernosti a ochrany informácií; princíp spravodlivosti; intimita). Štatistická analýza bola realizovaná softvérom SPSS, verzia 15.0. Výsledky: Svoju úroveň dôstojného prístupu k pacientom v domovoch sociálnych služieb hodnotili sestry ako primeranú. Medzi vnímanou úrovňou dôstojného prístupu sestier a demografickými údajmi boli nízke korelácie. Signifikantne vyššiu úroveň dôstojného prístupu sme zistili u sestier s vyšším vzdelaním (Bc.). Najnižšiu úroveň dôstojného prístupu k pacientom v domovoch sociálnych služieb sme zaznamenali v subškále zameranej na autonómiu pacienta. Záver: Na základe poznania týchto výsledkov môžeme podporovať zmeny, ktoré budú prispievať k zvýšenej kvalite poskytovanej ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti v domovoch sociálnych služieb., Aim: The aim of the study was to examine nurses’ perception of their own level of dignified approach to patients in social care homes and to identify potential statistically significant relationships between the level of dignified approach to patients in social care homes and demographic data (nurses’ age, duration of clinical experience, education etc.). Methods: The sample consisted of 106 nurses working in social care homes run by the Trnava Region. An authorized questionnaire called Assessment of Ethical Issues – Dignified Approach to a Patient was used to determine the level of dignified approach. The questionnaire consisted of five subscales (patient awareness; autonomy; respecting confidentiality; principle of justice; intimacy). Statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS version 15.0 software. Results: The level of dignified approach to patients in social care homes was self-assessed by nurses as adequate. There was a low correlation between the perceived level of dignified approach to patients and demographic data. Nurses with higher education (bachelor’s degree) demonstrated significantly higher levels of dignified approach. The lowest level of dignified approach was found in the subscale focused on patient autonomy. Conclusion: Based on the knowledge of these results, changes may be promoted that will contribute to increased quality of nursing care provided in social care homes., Silvia Lelkešová, Ingrid Juhásová, and Literatura 19
In order to study cardiac pathology in different subtypes of ischemic stroke we examined 165 stroke patients. The 1st group included 90 (54.5%) patients with hemodynamic stroke, the 2nd one - 75 (45.5%) patients with cardioembolic stroke. Control group consisted of 45 individuals without cerebrovascular diseases. Cardiac pathologies with the prevalence of various types of ischemic heart disease were observed in all groups. The parameters of left ventricular stroke volume and ejection fraction were lower in patients with hemodynamic stroke than in other groups, but were within normal limits. Potential sources of cardiogenic embolism were found in all groups: in the 1st group at 74.4%, in the 2nd one at 100%. Thus, most patients with ischemic stroke have different heart defects related to the subtypes of ischemic stroke., Natalya Dadamyants, and Literatura
Aldosterone blocker Spironolactone has antiinflammatory, antiproliferative and antioxidative effects, that is why pathogenetically it is expedient to use it in complex therapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Material and methods: 46 patients with RA took 2550 mg/day of Spironolactone during 12 months as an addition to standard therapy, the comparison group consisted of 47 patients that got only standard therapy, all the patients were fully examined prior and post the treatment. Results: complex RA therapy leads to improved VAS, HAQ, the antioxidative potential index F; decreased blood concentrations of TNFα, ICAM1, FGF and VEGF in contrast to standard therapy. Complex therapy made reduced the DAS 28 more > 0.6. Conclusions: applying of Spironolactone in complex therapy of rheumatoid arthritis contributes to more pronounced improvement in indices of articular syndrome and patients life quality, reduce of antiinflammatory, antiproliferative and angiogenic cytokines, and more effectively reduces the activity of the disease comparing to standard therapy., Elena Komarova, Borys Rebrov, and Literatura
Cieľ: Cieľom štúdie bolo identifikovať úroveň emočnej inteligencie (EI) u sestier a zistiť rozdiely v úrovni EI vzhľadom na vek, dĺžku praxe a vzdelanie sestier. Metodika: Výskumný súbor tvorili sestry (n = 280) poskytujúce starostlivosť pacientom štyroch nemocníc Trnavského kraja. Priemerný vek sestier bol 39,64 (SD = 9,44), dĺžka ich profesijnej praxe bola 18,7 (SD = 10,64). Na meranie úrovne EI boli použité dotazníky, ktoré reprezentujú súčasné prístupy chápania EI. Dotazník SITEMO (Situational Test of Emotional Understanding), zisťuje úroveň EI ako schopnosti, výsledkom je celkové skóre EI, ktoré je dané súčtom správnych odpovedí. Dotazník SEIS (Schutte EI Scale) zisťuje úroveň EI sestier ako črty. Sestry vyjadrovali mieru súhlasu resp. nesúhlasu prostredníctvom 5bodovej Likertovej škály. Pri spracovaní dát boli využité metódy deskriptívnej štatistiky a induktívnej štatistiky. Údaje boli spracované v štatistickom softvéri SPSS 15.0. Výsledky: Zistili sme štatisticky významný rozdiel (p < 0,05) v úrovni EI sestier vzhľadom k ich veku. Pri ostatných sociodemografických znakoch (dĺžka profesijnej praxe, vzdelanie) nebol zaznamenaný štatisticky významný rozdiel (p > 0,05). Sestry s Mgr. stupňom vzdelania dosiahli najlepší výsledok v priemernom poradí mier EI v oboch metodikách. Záver: Zistené výsledky umožňujú upriamiť pozornosť na rozvoj EI u sestier prostredníctvom možností vzdelávacích inštitúcií. Môžeme podporovať zmeny, ktoré budú prispievať ku zvýšenej kvalite poskytovanej ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti. Využívanie EI je nutnou a zároveň modernou požiadavkou ošetrovateľstva., Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the level of emotional intelligence (EI) of nurses and to identify differences in the level of EI in relation to their age, length of work experience and education. Methods: The sample consisted of nurses (n = 280) providing care to patients in four hospitals in the Trnava Region. The mean age of the nurses was 39.64 years (SD = 9.44) and the length of their work experience was 18.7 years (SD = 10.64). The level of EI was measured using questionnaires representing current approaches to understanding of EI. Emotional intelligence as an ability was determined by the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding (SIT-EMO) questionnaire, yielding the overall emotional intelligence score given by the sum of the correct answers. EI as a feature, on the other hand, was assessed by the Schutte EI Scale (SEIS) in which the nurses expressed the extent to which they agree or disagree with each statement on a five-point Likert scale. To analyze the data, methods of descriptive statistics and inductive statistics were used. The data were processed using the SPSS 15.0 statistical software. Results: A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between the level of nurses’ EI level and their age. In terms of other social demographic data (length of work experience, education), a statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) was not found, although the nurses with a master’s degree ranked highest as for their mean level of EI, using both methods. Conclusion: The results enable to focus attention on the development of nurses’ EI through educational institutions. Changes may be encouraged that will contribute to an increase in the quality of nursing care provided. The use of EI is a necessary as well as modern requirement in nursing., Ingrid Juhásová, Ľubica Ilievová, František Baumgartner, and Literatura
