Patients awareness before endoscopic examination
BERNÁTOVÁ, Ivana
Abstract Patients awareness before endoscopic examination This baccalaureate thesis deals with informedness of patients prior endoscopic examinations. The theoretic part deals with the issues of informing and preparing endoscopic examinations. Generally, informedness is a broad issue that can be discussed in professional circles as well as by the laic public. As the patient is considered an active element of the treatment process nowadays, informedness has gained an important role. This work tried to explain endoscopic methods, to map preparation for individual endoscopic examinations, and to stress the importance of information and communication skills when providing such information. Two objectives were set down. The first one was to find out the details about informedness of patients prior endoscopic examinations. The other one was to find out what method is used to inform patients prior endoscopic examinations. Two hypotheses were set down in the practical part. The first hypothesis is based on the presumption of sufficient patient informedness and it was defined as follows: Patients are informed sufficiently prior endoscopic examinations. The other hypothesis was based on a presumption defined as follows: The most frequently used method of informing patients prior endoscopic examinations is oral explanation. To find out about the current situation, the quantitative method using an anonymous questionnaire was employed. Only one kind of questionnaire containing 25 questions was used. The questions were closed, semi-closed and one open. Introductory questions were informative ones, the others focused on informedness prior an endoscopic examination and on the methods of providing information. A hundred questions were distributed at preselected wards at Nemocnice Tábor, a. s. (Hospital Tábor). The research group consisted of patients at the surgical, internal and gynaecological departments. The results were processed into graphs showing the percentage of the distribution of the respondents{\crq} answers. The discussion was assessed and compared with professional literature. At the end of this thesis, the project summation results are presented as well as confirmed or unconfirmed hypotheses and possible proposals that may lead executive workers to consider what ways could be taken in the future to better patient informedness prior endoscopic examinations.
