Cieľ: Cieľom medzinárodnej prierezovej štúdie bolo zhodnotiť úroveň subjektívnej pohody českých a slovenských sestier a jej vzťah k dĺţke klinickej praxe a ich uvaţovaniu o odchode z pracoviska, profesie sestry a do zahraničia. Metodika: Výskumný súbor tvorilo 1055 sestier pracujúcich v lôţkových zariadeniach. Subjektívnu pohodu sestier sme hodnotili prostredníctvom Indexu osobnej pohody a Škály emocionálnej, habituálnej subjektívnej pohody. Rozdiely v subjektívnej pohode sme zisťovali jednorozmernou analýzou rozptylu (ANOVA), na zistenie závislosti medzi premennými sme pouţili Pearsonov korelačný koeficient. Výsledky: České sestry častejšie preţívali pozitívne a menej často negatívne emócie (afektívny komponent subjektívnej pohody) v porovnaní so slovenskými sestrami. Ţivotná spokojnosť (kognitívny komponent subjektívnej pohody) bola na úrovni 60 – 70 % maxima stupnice, typického pre "nezápadné" krajiny (65,02; SD 15,80 - české sestry; 63,80; SD 16,43 - slovenské sestry). Štatisticky významné rozdiely v ţivotnej spokojnosti medzi uvedenými skupinami sestier sa nepreukázali. Subjektívna pohoda sestier sa negatívne spájala rokmi praxe, ako aj úvahami o odchode z pracoviska, z ošetrovateľskej profesie a odchode pracovať do zahraničia. U slovenských sestier sa preukázali silnejšie vzťahy medzi jednotlivými komponentmi subjektívnej pohody a ich uvaţovaním o odchode. Záver: Výsledky štúdie reflektujú zvyšujúcu sa pracovnú neistotu sestier, ktorú zaznamenávame v oboch krajinách v posledných rokoch. Ďalší výskum by sa mal zameriavať na identifikáciu ďalších faktorov, predovšetkým z oblasti pracovných podmienok, ktoré môţu významne vplývať na subjektívnu pohodu sestier., Aim: The aim of this international cross-sectional survey was to investigate subjective well-being of Czech and Slovak nurses and its relationship with years of experience and leaving intentions. Methods: The sample for study consisted of 1055 hospital staff nurses from Czech and Slovak Republics. The data were collected using a set of questionnaires that included the Positive Affect Scale, the Negative Affect Scale, and Personal Wellbeing Index. For determining the associations and correlations between variables, the parametric Pearson correlations were used. For group comparisons one way ANOVA procedure was performed. Results: Czech nurses experienced more positive affect and less negative affect than Slovak nurses. We did not find the statistical significant difference in life satisfaction (a cognitive component of subjective well-being) between Czech and Slovak nurses. Life satisfaction has been within the range of 60–70% SM found for Western populations (65.02; SD 15.80 - Czech nurses; 63.80; 16.43 - Slovak nurses). Subjective well-being correlated negatively with years of experience and leaving intentions. The stronger relationship between subjective well-being and leaving intentions was in Slovak nurses. Conclusions: The results of the study reflect an increased job insecurity of Czech and Slovak nurses. Future research should focus on investigation of other factors of subjective well-being, mainly from the area of work conditions., Elena Gurková, Katarína Žiaková, Mária Sováriová Soósová, Silvie Haroková, Radka Šerfelová, Slávka Mrosková, and Literatura
Cíl: Cílem šetření bylo zjistit četnost subjektivně pociťovaných potíží s polykací funkcí mezi klienty sociálních zařízení následné péče za pomoci zahraničního nástroje nazvaného Dotazník o přijímání potravy (Eating Assessment Tool, EAT-10). Dalším cílem bylo zjistit časovou zátěž spojenou s administrací tohoto nástroje v praxi. Metody: Nástroj EAT-10 byl přeložen do češtiny a v pretestu byla ověřena jeho srozumitelnost. Poté byl nástroj, pomocí rozhovoru, použit v 5 sociálních zařízeních následné péče. Před dotazováním byl proveden screening kognitivních funkcí za pomoci testu Mini-Cog, který sloužil k vyřazení klientů s nedostatečnou kognitivní funkcí z dalšího testování. Výsledky: Do studie bylo zařazeno 117 respondentů ve věku 65 let a výše, z nichž 104 úspěšně prošlo testem Mini-Cog. Více než polovina z nich (58) uvádí polykací potíže. K použití nástroje EAT-10 bylo u 1 respondenta potřeba cca 4–5 minut. Závěr: Klienti sociálních zařízení následné péče často subjektivně vnímali polýkání jako problematické. Nástroj EAT-10 lze použít při získávání základních údajů o polykání u těchto klientů., Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of subjectively perceived swallowing difficulties in clients of social institutions providing aft er-care, using a foreign instrument called Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10). Another aim was to identify the amount of time required to administer the tool in practice. Methods: The tool EAT-10 was translated into Czech and its comprehensibility was verifi ed in a pre-test. Finally, it was employed in interviews in five social institutions providing aft er-care. Before the respondents were interviewed, they were screened for cognitive functions via the Mini-Cog test, which was used to exclude from further testing those respondents who had insufficient cognitive function. Results: 117 respondents aged 65 and above were enrolled in the study, 104 of whom were successful on the Mini-Cog test. More than half of them (58) reported swallowing difficulties. It took approximately 4–5 minutes to complete the EAT-10 tool with one patient. Conclusion: Subjectively perceived swallowing difficulties are a frequent problem in clients of social institutions providing aft er-care. Th e EAT-10 tool can be used to obtain basic swallowing data in these clients., Hana Vejrostová, Jana Pánková, Petra Mandysová, Jana Škvrňáková, and Literatura 6
Cíl: Cílem našeho příspěvku bylo zjistit vztah mezi konstrukty kvality života související se zdravím Health Related Quality of Life, používaný ve standardní zkratce HRQoL a subjektivní pohody Subjective well-being, používaný ve standardně zavedené zkratce SWB, u pacientů s chronickým onemocněním, konkrétně bronchiálním astmatem. Zaměřujeme se na diskriminační validitu obou konstruktů. Metodika: Výzkumný soubor tvořilo 316 pacientů, kteří byli vyšetřeni na plicní ambulanci ve Fakultní nemocnici Ostrava. HRQoL byla hodnocena prostřednictvím zkrácené verze Dotazníku kvality života astmatiků (Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, Mini AQLQ), SWB prostřednictvím Indexu osobní pohody (Personal Wellbeing Index, PWI). Ke zjištění závislosti mezi vybranými proměnnými byl použit Pearsonův korelační koeficient a lineární regresní analýza. Diskriminační validitu jsme zkoumali prostřednictvím zkoumání rozdílů v HRQoL a SWB z hlediska vybraných klinických proměnných. Rozdíly v HRQoL a SWB byly zjišťovány vícefaktorovou analýzou rozptylu (ANOVA). Výsledky: Korelace mezi HRQoL (operacionalizované prostřednictvím Mini AQLQ) a SWB (operacionalizované prostřednictvím PWI) jsou pozitivní a středně silné. Percepce kontroly astmatu byla identifikovaná jako signifikantní prediktor obou konstruktů, avšak vytvářela vyšší míru variability v rámci HRQoL. Závěr: SWB a HRQoL představují související, avšak odlišné konstrukty. Výsledky podporují chápání HRQoL jako konstruktu založeném na větší míře klinických proměnných než je tomu u SWB., Aim: The goal of the study was to determine the relationship between the health-related quality of life (usually abbreviated as HRQoL) and subjective well-being (usually abbreviated as SWB) of patients with chronic disease, namely bronchial asthma. The focus was on discriminative validity of both constructs. Methods: The research sample consisted of 316 patients examined at the Pulmonary Clinic of the University Hospital Ostrava. HRQoL was assessed by a short version of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (Mini AQLQ) and SWB was assessed by the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI). Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis were used for evaluation of dependencies between selected variables. Discriminative validity was explored by examination of differences between HRQoL and SWB relevant to selected clinical variables. Differences in HRQoL and SWB were detected by multi-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The correlations between HRQoL (assessed by the Mini AQLQ) and SWB (assessed by the PWI) are positive and moderate. Perception of asthma control was identified as a significant predictor of both constructs. However, it produced greater variance in the context of HRQoL. Conclusion: SWB and HRQoL are related but distinct constructs. The results support the notion of HRQoL as a construct based on a larger set of clinical variables as compared to SWB., Patricie Popelková, Elena Gurková, and Literatura
Cíl: Cílem výzkumu bylo popsat, jak vnímají a prožívají svou kvalitu života senioři s infekční tuberkulózou, jejíž léčba je dlouhodobá a součástí léčebných opatření je izolace ve zdravotnickém zařízení. Metody: Byla zvolena kvalitativní výzkumná metoda. Pro sběr dat byl použit nestandardizovaný rozhovor. Výzkumný soubor tvořilo 8 pacientů starších 65 let (s diagnózou infekční tuberkulóza) hospitalizovaných ve vybraných zdravotnických zařízeních oboru Pneumologie a ftizeologie a jeden rodinný příslušník pacienta. Rozhovory s respondenty byly realizovány v různém časovém období léčby tuberkulózy. Na základě kvalitativní analýzy dat byly vytvořeny 4 hlavní kategorie kvality života: 1. Prožívání nemoci v oblasti psychické, 2. Prožívání nemoci v oblasti fyzické, 3. Prožívání nemoci v oblasti sociální a 4. Životní hodnoty, názory. Výsledky: Z analýzy rozhovorů vyplynulo, že tuberkulóza je pro seniory stigmatizující chorobou, má negativní vliv na vlastní prožívání a vnímání kvality ţivota. Zhoršené vnímání kvality života je způsobeno více faktory, především skutečností, že mohli nakazit své blízké infekční chorobou. Mezi nejčastější emoce, které respondenti prožívali, patřily strach, úzkost, pocit zahanbení a viny, pocity osamělosti s beznadějí a pocity méněcennosti. Závěr: Problém geriatrické tuberkulózy je významný, neboť se jedná o potenciální zdroje tuberkulózní infekce ve zdravotnických zařízeních a v pobytových zařízeních sociální péče. Je proto důležité, aby si odborníci pečující o seniory uvědomovali existenci problémů při diagnostice a léčbě tuberkulózy., Aims: The aim of the research was to describe how the elderly with infectious tuberculosis, whose treatment is long-term matter and component of therapeutic measure is isolation in health care facility, perceive and experience their quality of life. Methods: A qualitative research method was chosen. For data collection was used non-standardized interview. The research file consisted of 8 patients over 65 years of age (diagnosed with infectious tuberculosis) hospitalized in selected health care facilities of pneumology and phthisiology and one family member of the patient. Interviews with respondents were conducted in different time periods of treatment of tuberculosis. Based on qualitative data analysis were created 4 major categories of quality of life: 1. Experiencing the illness in the area of psychic, 2. Experiencing the illness in the area of physical, 3. Experiencing the illness in the area of social and 4. Life values, beliefs. Results: The analysis of interviews revealed that tuberculosis is for the elderly stigmatizing disease, has a negative effect on their own experiencing and perception of quality of life. Deteriorated perception of quality of life is caused by several factors, primarily by the fact, that they could have infected their loved ones with infectious disease. The most common emotions experienced by respondents included fear, anxiety, feel of shame and guilt, feelings of loneliness with despair and feelings of inferiority. Conclusion: The problem of geriatric tuberculosis is significant because it is a potential source of tuberculous infection in health care facilities and in residential social care facilities. It is therefore important that professionals caring for the elderly realize the existence of problems in diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis., Jarmila Siverová, Radka Bužgová, and Literatura 16
Cíl práce: Aktuální pohled na těhotné s roztroušenou sklerózou (RS), analýza výsledků těhotenství těchto nemocných ve FN Motol v letech 2003-2011. Typ studie: Retrospektivní analýza Soubor a metodika: Analýza 76 těhotenství pacientek s relaps-remitentní formou roztroušené sklerózy – posouzení vlivu gravidity na aktivitu onemocnění (použitá analgezie a laktace ve vztahu ke vzniku akutní ataky) a naopak vlivu onemocnění na průběh těhotenství (komplikace, vedení porodu a perinatální výsledky). Výsledky: Akutní ataka v graviditě se v souboru 76 žen vyskytla u 4 z nich (5,3 %, RR 0,08), do půl roku po porodu jsme akutní ataku zaznamenali u 17 žen (22,4 %, RR 0,46). Ataku mělo 18,4 % kojících žen (9/49) ve srovnání s 33,3 % žen (8/24), které nekojily, p = 0,2375 (OR = 0,45, 95 % CI 0,15-1,37). Epidurální analgezii k porodu mělo 13,6 % žen (3/22) s akutní atakou, 25,9 % žen (14/54) s atakou po porodu bylo bez analgezie, p = 0,3648 (OR = 0,45,95 % CI 0,12-1,76). Zhoršení choroby jsme neprokázali (EDSS 1,4, resp. EDSS 1,6). 75 % těhotenství bylo ukončeno nekomplikovaným vaginálním porodem. Výskyt závažných těhotenských komplikací nebyl zvýšen a perinatální výsledky byly srovnatelné s běžnou populací. Závěr: V souladu s recentními studiemi prokazujeme v našem souboru pokles aktivity choroby v graviditě s nárůstem počtu akutních atak po porodu. Ke zhoršení či progresi onemocnění však během 12 měsíců po porodu nedochází. Kojení ani použití epidurální analgezie nemá na vznik akutní ataky vliv, těhotenství probíhají ve většině případů fyziologicky, vedení porodu a novorozenecké výsledky se neliší od běžné populace. Gravidita je tedy pro stabilizované pacientky s relaps-remitentní formou RS bezpečná., Objective: Current view on pregnant women with multiple sclerosis (MS), the analysis of pregnancy outcomes of these women with MS in the Motol Hospital in the years 2003-2011. Design: Retrospective analysis Methods: Analysis of 76 pregnant women with MS – to assess the impact of pregnancy on the activity of the disease (breastfeeding and used analgesia in relation on the relapse rate post partum) and the impact of the disease on the course of pregnancy (pregnancy complications, differences in the management of labor, and perinatal outcomes). Results: Relapse during pregnancy occurred in 4 out of the 76 women (5.3% relapse rate – RR 0.08). 17 women experienced a post partum relapse in the first six months after delivery (22.4%, RR 0.46). 18.4% breastfeeding women (9/49, 18.4%) had post partum relapse in comparison with 33.3% women, who did not breastfeed (8/24, 33.3%), p = 0.2375 (OR=0.45, 95% CI 0.15-1.37). 13.6% women (3/22, 13.6%) with post partum relapse used epidural analgesia (EDA), 25.9% women (14/54, 25.9%) with relapse did not used it, p = 0.3648 (OR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.12-1.76). Pregnancy did not influence the progress of disability (EDSS 1.4 or EDSS 1.6). 75% women had uncomplicated vaginal delivery, the incidence of serious pregnancy complications was not increased, and the perinatal outcomes are comparable with the general population. Conclusion: Consistent with recent studies, we evaluated decreasing relapse rate during pregnancy. In the post partum period the relapse rate has increased, however the pregnancy did not influence the disability progress in 12 months postpartum. Neither breastfeeding nor epidural analgesia correlated with presence of post partum relapses. In most cases, the pregnancies in patients with MS were physiological, the method of delivery and the overall perinatal outcomes are comparable with the general population. There is no need to worry about pregnancy in stabilized patients with MS., P. Hanulíková, R. Vlk, E. Meluzínová, L. Rob, and Literatura
Competencies develop and changes throughout a persons life, they can gain or lose, going through various age stages. Their development does not end in youth, but continue on through the adult life. The ability to thing and reflect those thoughts specifically come forward in the center of structure of competency, which grows at the same time as the individual matures. One of the competency types is health competency. Health competency is a relatively new concept; it is not sufficiently researched. Aim of the study was to determine the factors of an adult individual health competency. 827 respondents participated in the study, in the processing of data was used SPSS. Was used factor analysis, analysis of variance with ANOVA and KruskalWallis test and Pearsons correlation. It was found that health competency is affected by several factors. These are: health education, health behavior, and the value of the environment. Each of the sets was distributed to key factors. It is the main factors affecting the health competence, but additional factors are: gender, education and income., Inara Upmale, Andrejs Geske, and Literatura
Aim of investigation: to study immediate and remote results of standard and extended lymphodissection in patients with rectal cancer. Material and methods: 132 patients with rectal cancer were performed radical surgery with lymphodissection in D2 and D3 volume according to a height of tumor location. In immediate postoperated period there were noted complications in 4 patients that made up 3,03%. Observation time was 5 years. Tumor recurrence was reported in 5 patients (3,8%). In remote period metastases were revealed in 8 patients (6,6%). 5year total survival rate was 78,5±4,2% at stage II. 5year total survival rate was 56,4±3,7% at stage III. Comparing the results of standard and extended lymphodissection it was noted statistically authentic increase of 5 year survival rate in patients at stage III. Obtained data allow to come to the conclusion about reasonability of performance of different variants of lymphodissection for patients with rectal cancer at stages II and III., Navruzov S.

We aimed to investigate in detail the structural mutations after influence of actellic insecticide at different doses and different temperature conditions. We tested effects of single introduction of different doses of actellic: 48, 96, 192, and 384 mg/kg. Cytogenetic effect of actellic in bone marrow cells at different temperature regimens was studied. Following actellic administration, animals were being in two temperature regimes: normal (18-20°C) and high (37-38°C). After treatment with actellic, animals were kept within 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours at high temperature (37-38°C), i.e. in a thermostat (TV-80) with access of air. In experiments, the animals were divided into seven groups. The animals of the 1st group were administered actellic at a dose 384 mg/kg and kept under normal temperature until slaughtering. The animals of the 2nd group after administration of actellic were immediately placed in an environment with a temperature of 37-38°C. Animals of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th groups after treatment with actellic were transferred to conditions with high temperature, respectively, for 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours. The 7th group of mice was under normal temperature conditions without treatment with actellic. Our results have shown that in normal temperature conditions single exposure of actellic (384 mg/kg) did not affect the genetic apparatus of somatic cell, evidenced by the frequency of chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells that were within the control levels. However, at high temperatures (37-38°C) the pesticide caused 6-fold larger number of chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells, in comparison with normal conditions., Anvarjon Rakhmankulovich Shermuratov, and Literatura
Aim: The aim of this paper is to develop an evidence-based clinical protocol for the use of gum chewing in postoperative care to reduce the risk of paralytic postoperative ileus in patients who have undergone abdominal surgery. Methods: A clinical question (For adult patients who have undergone abdominal surgery, does the use of gum chewing postoperatively reduce the risk of paralytic postoperative ileus in comparison with the usual care regimen?) was formulated, a population and setting were defined, and the databases OVID Medline®, CINAHL, and PubMed were searched for relevant material. Six data-based research articles were chosen for review: four randomized controlled trials and two meta-analyses. Finally, the articles were critically appraised to generate evidence on which to base the clinical protocol. Results: The development team created a detailed description of the clinical protocol as well as a protocol algorithm to assist clinicians in determining patient eligibility. In addition, protocol implementation and evaluation plans were proposed. Conclusion: An evidence-based clinical protocol was developed to provide a template for identification of patients eligible for gum chewing, implementation, and evaluation of this intervention to reduce the risk of paralytic postoperative ileus after abdominal surgery., Renáta Zeleníková, Anthony Chao, Gloria Enright, Mary Rogers Schubert, Kaitlin Shotsberger, Cecelia Wise, Elizabeth A.

Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) in Bulgaria shows increasing severity, especially in patients over sixty years. As T lymphocytes are the primary effector cells in MSF and are altered by the ageing process we aimed to specify the changes in their numbers in elderly patients. We performed a clinicoepidemiological study, haematological and biochemical analysis of 132 patients of 60+ and 30 patients between 19 and 57 years with MSF. We investigated the cell immunity of 20 patients of 60+ using immunofluocytometry. The control group consisted of 10 younger patients and 10 healthy individuals of 60+. MSF showed more unfavourable course in the elderly.We found T-lymphocytes depletion in all patients with MSF. Activated T lymphocytes were increased in elderly patients with MSF. We found significant differences between the number of activated T lymphocytes in elderly patients and healthy elderly persons. The observed T-lymphocytes depletion in MSF corresponded to the disease severity. The increase in the activated T lymphocytes in patients over 60 years contributes to an adequate immune response., Margarita Gospodinova, and Literatura
