Adherence to medical regimens by hypertensive patients
KUBÁTOVÁ, Veronika
Introduction: The bachelor thesis deals with an adherence of regime measures by patients with hypertension. Hypertension is one of the most common diseases of the cardiovascular system. Regime measures are the basis of treatment, which include weight loss, regular exercise, limiting salt in the diet, quitting smoking, abstinence from alcohol and reducing stress. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out whether patients over the age of 50 with hypertension are informed about the regime measures and whether they comply them. Methodology: A quantitative method was chosen for the research part of the thesis. The data was collected by using a self-constructed questionnaire that included 25 questions. The research group consisted of patients older than 50 years suffering from hypertension who were hospitalized in a medical facility in the South Bohemian Region. Results: It was found out that respondents' knowledge of lifestyle measures related to the treatment of hypertension differs statistically significantly by gender (p = 2%), but does not differ by age (p = 72%). The data shows that women have more knowledge than men. Compliance of regime measures also differs statistically significantly by gender (p = 1.8%), but does not vary by age (30.5%). Women follow the measures more consistently than men. Respondents aged between 61 and 70 showed the best results, both in knowledge and compliance, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Although the results have provided a fairly satisfactory picture of patients' knowledge, it is still important that people with hypertension are regularly educated. The thesis can serve as a source of information for both laymen and paramedics. An educational leaflet has been created for hypertensive patients with basic information that every hypertensive patient should know.

Jirásek, Martin ; Plešková, Jana (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the adherence to inhaled treatment, its measurement, telemedicine and telerehabilitation and the possible use of the CF Hero mobile app in paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis. In the theoretical part, it presents knowledge about cystic fibrosis, adherence to treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis and possibilities of its measurement, telemedicine and telerehabilitation. The practical part describes the CF Hero mobile app, which has been the target of measurements on several patients. At the same time, a questionnaire was developed focusing on satisfaction with the use of this mobile application. Methods: The practical part was conducted as a multicentre prospective cross-over study investigating the effect of the CF Hero mobile app on adherence to inhaled treatment, respiratory quality of life and chest excursion The evaluation was conducted over a 6-month period, with the primary objective being to measure the amount of exhaled solution relative to the prescribed amount. Simultaneously, each patient underwent 3 identical examinations. These examinations included spirometric testing (FEV1, FVC, MEF50), measurement of chest excursion (axillary, mesosternal, xiphoid) and quality of life assessment using the CFQ-R questionnaire.

Adherence to treatment regime of patients with chronic kidney disease
FOUSKOVÁ, Jitka
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease in the progressing stage can significantly affect the quality of the patients' lives. It is estimated that more than 10 % of the worldwide population suffer from this disease. Proper nursing care, lifestyle modification and following proper medical treatment could significantly slow down the progression of disease. The main aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out the level of adherence to the treatment regime of patients with chronic kidney disease. Methodology: Quantitative research was chosen to process the practical part. Results were collected using a standardised questionnaire containing 50 questions to determine the attitude of haemodialysis centre patients towards adherence to dialysis plan, medication, fluid restriction and diet. Collected data was analysed and statistically processed using Microsoft Excel programme. Results: The research sample was made up by 94 respondents. The results show that 58,5 % patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment have an adherent attitude to the treatment. Keeping therapy treatment is influenced by the attitude of nursing staff. For most of the respondents, it is important to follow a treatment regime, so that their health does not deteriorate or because they realise that the condition of their kidneys requires them to follow experts' advice. Conclusion: The results of our thesis highlight the importance of nurses paying attention to patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients with whom nursing staff regularly talk about their treatment follow recommendations more conscientiously. The most frequent problem among patients is misunderstanding treatment and recommendations.

Compliance with mode measures by the anticoagulative treatment in primary medical care
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Alexandra
The goal of my bachelor´s thesis has been a description of state compliance with patients taking Warfarin and afterwards the relationship between measurement of compliance and occurrence of complications related to the treatment with Warfarin. Concurrently, compliance from the point of age and gender has been meant to be supported. The theoretical part has been dedicated to anticoagulative treatment with emphasis on Warfarin, education and patient´s compliance by observance of mode measures related to treatment with Warfarin. Quantitative research survey has been chosen to process this bachelor´s thesis with using of technique of data collecting with a form of an anonymous unstandardized questionnaire survey. The survey team has consisted of the patients in České Budějovice taking Warfarin. Three hypotheses have been specified in connection with the goal of this thesis. We have assumed by the two mentioned hypotheses such a kind of relation between the state compliance connected to their age, then between mode compliance and their gender. By the third hypothesis we have claimed that occurrence that could have been related to the mode compliance. Thanks to the given results we have found out that there is no relation to their age or gender by the patients taking Warfarin, but there is a relation to the patients taking Warfarin and mode compliance. Beyond the given goal we have come to the conclusion that compliance is related to the achieved education and also it decreases with its length. The results could be used as a material for nurses´ education in surgeries or for general practitioners in some other hospitals. There has been pointed out the necessity of a proper education, patients awareness and importance of mutual relations and communication. These facts could influence the patient´s contribution to mode treatment and increase its success rate. This work provides complete information regarding treatment with Warfarin and also possible consequences by using wrong patient´s compliance.
