The specifics of nursing care of patient with lymphoma
ŠTOKSOVÁ, Lucie
This thesis deals with the nursing care of patients with lymphoma. Patients with this disease experience considerable fatigue and their condition may be worsened by complications associated with treatment. The most common complications that occur during treatment include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and inflammation of the oral cavity. The role of nurses is effective nursing care for patients, psychological support and adequate communication. The thesis is divided into two sections, a theoretical section and a research section. The theoretical part describes the characteristics of the disease, the treatment and the nursing care of patients with lymphoma. In the research part a quantitative survey, using anonymous questionnaires from nurses, was used and qualitative research was conducted using interviews with patients. The first stated aim of this thesis was to discover the level of knowledge of nurses about the nursing care of patients with lymphoma. The second objective was to determine whether the current nursing care for patients with lymphoma contributes to the improvement of their psychological state. The hypothesis chosen for the first part was: Nurses are informed about the nursing care of patients with lymphoma. The answer to this hypothesis is: Yes, nurses are informed about the nursing care of patients with lymphoma. The research question chosen for the second part was: How does nursing care contribute to improving the psychological state of patients with lymphoma? The answer to this question is: Nursing care helps to improve the psychological state of patients with the opportunity to cooperate with a psychologist, the support of medical staff and adequately informing patients about the course of treatment and nursing care. This work may serve not only as additional information for nurses who encounter patients with the disease lymphoma, but also for nurses who wish to obtain information about the disease. It is important that nurses apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.
