Micronutrients in home parenteral nutrition
Petříčková, Dagmar ; Meisnerová, Eva (advisor) ; Čapková, Radka (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is micronutrients at home parenteral nutrition. In the theoretical part, parenteral nutrition is analyzed, including advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications. Intestinal failure is described as the most basic indication for the introduction of long-term / home parenteral nutrition. Following is the characterization and classification of micronutrients and a description of the consequences of their deficiency or surplus. Micronutrients are particularly important as cofactors and coenzymes in enzymatic reactions that would not be possible without them. The key question is whether the plasma levels show the actual state of the stock of the micronutrient in the organism, if the drop in most of the micronutrients that we find in patients reflects the actual deficiency to be substituted, or whether this decrease is an expression of their shift to other segments, the severity of the health condition. In the practical part of the diploma thesis are evaluated the levels of selected micronutrients (vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron) in the group of patients with indication of home parenteral nutrition. The evaluation was based on laboratory analysis of patients' results. Key words: Parenteral nutrition, micronutrients, deficiency, surplus

Quality of life and development of nutritional status of patiens on home parenteral nutrition
Vítková, Martina ; Křížová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Trachta, Pavel (referee)
My Bachelor thesis focuses on life quality evaluation and nutritional status development in patients on a home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Theoretical part focuses on general information about patient examination after their arrival in a hospital. It further focuses on indication, division, composition and complications of parenteral nutrition and it gives a brief summary of basic knowledge about parenteral nutrition applied in home environment. HPN is most often recommended in patients with short bowel syndrom, ileus or some oncological diseases. The main expected benefit of HPN is an option for the patient to persist at home surrounded by family as opposed to being in a hospital. Even though HPN still comes with many complications, these patients still have a chance to live a relatively normal life. Two goals were set to evaluate the practical part of the thesis. First goal is to assesses the quality of life of patients on HPN and to determine whether the quality of life is changed and if so then how. Second goal is to describe the change of nutritional status in patients on home parenteral nutrition. These goals were achieved by using research questions focused on determining patient's feelings, health complications, ability to take part in physical activity and to integrate back into their work...

The options of nutritional support in inflamatory bowel disease
Polachová, Monika ; Meisnerová, Eva (advisor) ; Novotný, Aleš (referee)
In my bachelor's work I describe the idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases. The theoretical part is devoted to the history, epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, basic characteristics of the disease and the current treatment options. One of the serious consequences of the inflammatory bowel diseases is malnutrition, which then affects the treatment, worsens the course of the disease and reduces the quality of life of patients. The cause of malnutrition in these patients is both inflammatory activity during a relapse, the side effects of drug therapy and reduced food intake due to the numerous diarrhea and abdominal pain. In the practical part I monitored the patients during my practice in gastroenterology clinic. The aim of my work was to determine what attention is paid to the state of nutrition of patients with severe course of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which were indicated by the biological treatment. Monitoring of nutritional status, nutritional support and correction of malnutrition is an integral part of the treatment, during which a nutritional therapist plays an important role.

The Nutrition Day at the standard and intensive care beds in the teaching hospital
Lupoměská, Petra ; Meisnerová, Eva (advisor) ; Novák, František (referee)
The Bachelor thesis consists of two parts - the theoretical and the practical one. The theoretical part is divided into several chapters; the first one is focused on the main information about malnutrition such as its definition, prevalence, classification, causes, impact and the methods of diagnosing. The following chapter describes the algorithm for nutritional care; the rest of the chapters deal with the artificial nutrition, where the indications, contraindications, complications and other essential information related to enteral and parenteral nutrition are described. The practical part is dedicated to the worldwide programme "Nutrition day" and also to the evaluation of the data given by patients of the 4th internal clinic VFN in Prague during the programme. The research part was carried out on grounds of quantitative survey through a standardized questionnaire. There are two aims to the study; the first one was to find out the food intake of all patients of the 4th internal clinic. This goal was not accomplished, because not every patient placed in the standard ward was willing to complete the questionnaire. However, the study showed that only 29 % out of 62 patients who completed the questionnaire ate the whole portion of meal. The second aim was to find out if the daily calorie intake...

VACKOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis is divided into two parts theoretical and empirical and the purpose of this thesis is to deal with the topic of the nurse´s role in the nutrition of patients in intensive care. In the theoretical part of the thesis, complex issue of the nutrition ensure of intensive care patients is summarized. We have been dealing not only with the common concept of the nutrition on the intensive care units and the role of the nutrition therapist but also with the characteristics, causes and diagnosis of the malnutrition as the most serious issue in the nutrition field. In the thesis, the types of a nutrition support in the intensive care have been also defined as well as the indication, contraindication, types of serving, complications, types of medicines, monitoring and the related role of the nurses. The practical part provides with the results of the research, which have been found by using a qualitative research method. The main purpose of this bachelor thesis was to emphasize the role of the nurse by the handing enteral and parenteral nutrition and also a description of the cooperation with the nutritional therapist on the associated intern and neurological unit of intensive care at České Budějovice hospital. At the basis of above mentioned, two objectives have been stated. At first, our task is to find out the way how is the right handing of the nutrition to the intensive care patient by the nurse secured. The second task is finding out the way of cooperation of the nurse and the patient while securing the nutrition of the patients in the intensive care unit. For the first task, four research questions have been established, for the second task have been established one research question. For the high-quality data network, the method of hidden monitoring for keeping authenticity has been used. As a consequence of the insufficient amount of data to the reaching of the second task, half-structured interview has been chosen instead. Research dataset consisted of thirteen records of sighting and one interview on the above mentioned intensive care unit. As a basis for analyses, three observation sheets were made, into these sheets were then during the observation information assigned. Each sheet consisted of single points planned in accordance to theoretical part. The nurse follows these points when securing the patient´s nutrition. Remaining information, not included in observation sheet were written into the notes section or were included into the information about the performing of the particular point. The results were analyzed by using an open-coding. There are six categories coming out from the analyses, which are connected with securing the education, information providing, keeping an obstacle-free approach complications preventing, using tools, nurse´s cooperation with the patient and deciding processes during work performance. In the results, there is a conclusion of the analysis with illustrative examples to find. The sequence of the results is presented according to sequence of categories during performing. In each category, the results are evaluated according to research tasks stated. We believe, that the obtained information, which map the activities of the nurses when securing the nutrition at the intensive care unit patients and the acquainting the cooperation with the nutrition therapist helps in the future to the awareness of the potential weaknesses and following correction. The results may become inspiration for more detailed analysis of this topic.
