The specifics of nursing care in women with gestosis
KOLPOVÁ, Ivana
Pregnancy, delivery and puerperium represent a biological strain for a woman. A healthy woman, however, overcomes it without major problems. Many pregnant women even feel better in pregnancy than out of it. Sometimes, however, the woman{\crq}s body cannot adapt to the new situation and therefore in overcomes the biological strain with exertion. In these women a group of symptoms develops, they are generally called gestosis. The gestoses are illnesses bound exclusively to the pregnancy and they require a specific nursing care. The objective of this project was to establish whether women with gestosis require a specific nursing care, and whether pregnant women with gestosis need specific information about their illness. The first hypothesis was proposed as follows: The women with gestosis need a specific nursing care. The second hypothesis says: Pregnant women with gestosis have sufficient information about their illness. The first hypothesis was confirmed by this research: the investigation has shown that women with gestosis require specific nursing care. The second hypothesis was also confirmed: pregnant women with gestosis have enough information about their illness. The research was carried out with a quantitative method by means of questionnaires. The questionnaires were handed out at the departments of obstetrics and gynaecology in the Písek Hospital Písek, a.s., České Budějovice Hospital, a.s., Jindřichův Hradec Hospital a.s. in te period from January to July 2007. A total of 79 questionnaires were processed. The work will be used in the teaching at the South-Bohemian University and published on the Internet.The objectives of this research were fulfilled. The specifics of the nursing care in women with gestosis were established, and also the information of pregnant women with gestosis about their illness. The specifics of the nursing care in women with gestosis include the measurement and monitoring of the BP, oedemas, the regulars weighing of the patients, the position on the left side is recommended, the midwife carries out various examinations, she cares for the patient in the sphere of hygiene, emptying and mental health. The majority of the women questioned (54 %) stated that they were adequately informed about their illness, 15 % thought that they were not sufficiently informed and 31 % did not know. In spite of the fact that the majority of the women (54 %) were sufficiently informed, which are somewhat more than a half, we think that the information should improve in the future - and this bachelor{\crq}s thesis could contribute to this. This bachelor{\crq}s thesis could also serve as the study material for the next years of midwives, as education material for midwives in practice, and published on the Internet.
