The role of general practitioner nurse in the prevention of the colorectal cancer in surgery.
 TETÍKOVÁ, Hana
Current situation: The Czech Republic belongs to countries with high prevalence of colorectal carcinoma (CC). The theoretical part of this thesis includes basic information on carcinoma of the colon and the rectum. It also deals with its causes, symptoms and treatments. Primary, secondary and ternary prevention of CC is described in detail. Also the role of the nurse in general practitioner´s (GP) office in such prevention in adults is thoroughly investigated. Aims: Main aim of this work was to find the level of patient knowledge about the prevention program on CC and to map the role the nurse in GP office for adults has in this prevention. Methodology: Both qualitative and quantitative methods were chosen for this research. Obtained data was transferred into data matrix, evaluated using contingency tables and for statistical evaluation the one-sample and the two-sided t tests as well as the chi square test were used. The second method used was qualitative research in the form of structured interview. The interviews were transcribed into text. Through open coding analysis four categories were identified: The primary prevention of CC, The secondary prevention of CC, The immunochemical test for occult blood and The tertiary prevention of CC. Research group: The first research group consisted of patients aged 50 and above. The second research group consisted of five nurses working in the GP offices. Results: The first aim was to establish the level of knowledge in patients about CC. Four hypotheses were stated in order to fulfil the first aim. First hypothesis was: "Patients are informed about the prevention of CC". The level of significance for this hypothesis was calculated to 48.1 % and the hypothesis was therefore confirmed. However, reserves were discovered regarding the information on the primary prevention and first information about the secondary prevention is seen to dominate. This means that the research showed that patients that seldom visit the GP office fall through the CC screening. It is therefore very beneficial that a project has started from January 2014 with addressed invitations to the targeted population to such CC screenings. Second hypothesis presumes that "The knowledge of prevention of CC is gender indifferent". However, the reached level of significance at 2.2 % declines this hypothesis which means that the knowledge does differ based on gender. In fact the results show that women possess deeper knowledge on this subject. For example more women believe that smoking influences the prevalence of CC. The third hypothesis was supposed to either confirm or disprove that people are equally well informed about CC prevention in urban and rural areas. The level of significance of 1.2 % shows that this knowledge is better in urban areas. The last, fourth hypothesis asked whether patients have acquired their knowledge of CC prevention in the GP office. The level of significance for this hypothesis is 88.6 % and confirms the question. The second aim of this research was to map the role of the nurse in the GP office regarding the prevention of CC. The research question asked was" What role does the nurse have in CC prevention?" The research shows that her role is both irreplaceable and very significant.
