Chronic constipation as a bio-psycho-social problem of comprehensive rehabilitation of the elderly
ROŽĎALOVSKÁ, Petra
Biological changes related to seniority are in general manifested with slowdown of physiological functions, notable the slowdown of intestinal peristalsis. Problems with excretion often occur and they may end up as a constipation, which can become repeated, long-term and becomes chronic. Excretion belongs to basic human needs and it creates a feeling of satisfation. If it is disrupted, it affects the senior also psychosocially.In the theoretical part of my bachelor thesis I focus on the target group the elderly and related fields, gerontology and geriatrics, periods of human life aging and seniority and last but not least also the term of comprehensive rehabilitation and its seriousness. I state definitions of constipation, its partition, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. As a result of life and health changes also changes the quality of life of seniors. The practical part of my thesis was focused on two goals. Goal 1 charted respondents incidence of chronic constipation, goal 2 assessed the respondents extent to which chronic constipation affects the quality of life of seniors. Research indicates that practical knowledge is associated with the theory. By appropriate prevention, we should strive to reduce frequency of congestion in the elderly and thereby eliminate the deterioration of their quality of life.
