Quality of Life of Haemodialysed Seniors in Prachatice Region
ZELENKOVÁ, Božena
In the bachelor thesis I deal with the quality of life of haemodialysed seniors in Prachatice region and many aspects that change and affect their lives. The first part of my thesis is a professional one and it describes an anatomical structure of reins, their physiology and in general also diseases leading to an acute or chronic renal failure, especially the diabetes mellitus 2nd type. The professional part is concluded by a treatise on methods of the renal function replacement, so called a method of the blood purification {--} the haemodialysis. In the second, practical part, I focused on the research of the quality of life. I chose the following set criteria: a retirement, an age over 65 years, a renal failure due to the diabetes mellitus 2nd type. For detecting the quality of life I used the method of SEIQoL with the technique of an observation and a questioning. There were selected five respondents who meet the given criteria, the group consists of two men and three women in the age range 66-83 years. The research showed that a common feature of the respondents is the fact of declaring a higher quality of life in comparison with their intended degree of a satisfaction with their life. The respondents also agree that their health problems are multiplied by secondary phenomena accompanying the haemodialysis. Furthermore, it shows how important is a need of a social support for the respondents, their desire for a self-realization and a meaningful fulfilment of their leisure time.
