Using qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with three respondents, it became clear that the most significant change for respondents was a change in mindset and motivation to cope with the crisis situation. Furthermore, monitoring one's own progress towards self-sufficiency and the support of those around them proved to have a great influence on the acceptance process.

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...
