Šitinová, Hana ; Klokočková, Šárka (advisor) ; Bratová, Andrea (referee)
Aims: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to assess the change in quality of life of patients and their close relatives after hospitalization in the ICU and assess the dependence of this change on patients' age, length of hospitalization in the ICU, length of artificial lung ventilation (UPV) and time since discharge from the ICU. Methods: The research was performed at the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Clinic of the University Hospital at St. Anny in Brno. Quality of life was measured using quality of life questionnaires, in SF-36 patients, in EQ-5D-3L relatives. Age, sex, length of UPV and hospitalization and time since discharge from the ICU were monitored. The Wilcoxon test was used for statistical comparison of groups, the dependence of quality of life dimensions on other parameters was evaluated using Spearman's correlation. Results: The study group consisted of 61 patients and 45 relatives. With the exception of the physical pain dimension, the quality of life of patients after hospitalization was significantly lower than before hospitalization in all dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaires. Physical performance (PF), the ability to perform normal daily activities for physical (RP) and emotional (RE) reasons, and social functions (SF) were most affected.

Quality of patients life with heart failure in the working age
Škaroupková, Petra ; Tomová, Šárka (advisor) ; Bratová, Andrea (referee)
Heart failure (HF) constitutes a serious health and social problem. The number of patients with HF continues to increase and it concerns not only the elderly, but increasingly also young people in the working age. In the Czech Republic, the incidence of HF is reported in the range of 0.4 to even 4 % of the whole population. Every year, there are 0.4 % new patients diagnosed with the disease. In order to effectively meet the bio-psycho-social needs of HF patients, we should know the impact of the disease on these needs. To determine the negative effect of HF on patients' lives we used the standardized Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. The aim of this thesis was to identify the relationship between certain areas of patient quality of life and the degree of heart failure, and then to transfer our findings into the nursing practice. Obtained results showed that the degree of HF according to NYHA (the New York Heart Association functional classification) affects all aspects of the life's quality. The analysis of obtained data revealed that there is no difference in perception of the negative effects of HF between men and women. Moreover, we demonstrated that even the age does not have any significant impact on the perception of negative sensations caused by heart failure. The average...
