A View of Asthma Bronchiale-Psychosocial Problems
VACKOVÁ, Sabina
I chose as the theme of my bachalor´s work in order to outline the influence of this illness on psychosocial feelings of patients.I pose a question in my work whether care for patients is fully understood and sufficient from the psychosocial point of view.My profession is a nurse and I meet and help people suffering from this illness quite often.While talking with them,I found out that their troubles were often of psychosocial character and resulted from lack of information about their illness.A majority of patients did not cope with the fact that asthma is a chronic illness and will accompany them all their lives.Asthma interferes not only in the life of a particular patient,but above all in the lives of his family members.Support and help on the part of the family is important for the patient to accept his illness and to learn to live with it.Asthma in alll age groups has adverse consequences in the social area too.In chidren,it reduces the chance to fit in with a children´s collective and increases absence from school,later it limits freedom in choosing a career and decreases chances to assert oneself both in the personal and social area. the extent of information provided by health workers has a great influence on the correctly conducted treatment and preventing complications.Nowadays,the picture of asthma in changing a great deal as further modern,even more effective medicaments and their combinations are launched.The transfer of a certain part of responsibility to the patient himself requires,of course,more information and knowledge on his part.For experts this not only means a necessity to train themselves constantly and to follow the development of science and research,but also to ensure a permanent supply of fresh information to the patient.

Nursing of the patient with asthma bronchiále
STEJSKALOVÁ, Alena
This Bachelor thesis deals with the asthma bronchiale which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the upper air passages connected with their structure changes. This disease afflicts all age categories and its occurrence is increasing worldwide. The theoretical part of the work describes causes, symptoms, diagnostics, treatment of the disease and education. A part of the work is devoted to the role of the nurse and to needs of clients suffering from asthma. The advantage of the disease is the fact that its development is possible to be influenced to a large extent by early diagnosis, by proper treatment and by following regime precautions. Therefore clients suffering from asthma need not only a lot of quality information about the disease and its treatment, but also proper education in the field of inhalation techniques and regime precautions. On the other hand the nurse who has good knowledge of specific needs of a client suffering from asthma bronchiale can help him a lot in the course of her nursing. The aim of the Bachelor work was to find out if the clients suffering from asthma bronchiale have some specific needs and on the basis of the research results to prepare information brochure for the clients with this disease. The research questions were answered by means of the qualitative research using the form of the semi-structured interview which was elaborated into casuistry. The essential data are written in the categorizing charts. The research set consisted of eight respondents suffering from asthma bronchiale. Results of this Bachelor work show that the clients have enough information and they get them particularly from their doctor and from the Internet. Nurses do not provide patients with information quite a lot. The found out specific needs can help the nurse to understand problems of this disease better and to improve the nursing process. As a result of this research there was compiled an information brochure which can provide both the asthmatics and the general public with the most important information. This work can be a good source of information not only for clients suffering from asthma bronchiale but also for medical students and for nurses.

Correction of movement stereotypes within the therapy of bronchial asthma
HEBÍK, Štěpán
The aim of this bachelors thesis is the description of existence, corrective measures and causal mechanisms standing behind pathological movement programs among asthmatics. Moreover, it focuses on finding incorrect movement programs with particular asthma bronchiale patients. Subsequently, the erroneous programs are altered through special therapy to moderate the impact and to minimize the complications connected with the disease. The paper is divided into several intertwined sections, including the comprehensive depiction of asthma bronchiale and its impact on the human movement apparatus. In the following sections, asthmatic movement programs are studied, while identifying the mechanisms of their creation and systematic remedy. The realization of the aforementioned aims begins in the theoretical part of this work by processing the expert information gathered from dedicated literature on the topic. Research was done with the help of qualitative methods drawn up from four specific case studies. Furthermore, special examination methods, spirometer measurement, and short ČIPA (disease control) questionnaires were used to collect even more relevant information. In the same time, subjective feelings of the patients were taken in regard in the 8 weeks in which they were subjected to the therapy at Poliklinika Jih Medipont s.r.o. The corrective measures of the programmes were chosen according to the needs of the individual patients. Each of them reacted differently to the methods and processes altering the movement programmes. The results have shown that correcting the movement programmes may result in improving asthma control and reducing the subjective manifestations of the disease, and, at the same time, increase the spirometric values concerning the obstruction of respiratory passages. This work can be used as a tool for future physiotherapy students, in practice by clinical workers, but it can also be purposeful as an educational material for asthma patients.
