Using of Restraints in the Geriatrics
Lorencovičová, Eva ; Doskočil, Ondřej (advisor) ; Petr, Tomáš (referee)
In consideration of the demographic trends of our population, it is necessary to deal with the old age problems and problems of geriatric patients. The controversial topic of restraints, especially sensitive in association with old frail people, is closely related. The issue of restraints is defined by law. However, the ethical aspects of their application should also be considered. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the topic of old age and serious problems of this period of life, including mental disorders. It introduces the field of geriatrics and geriatric patients. In further chapters, this thesis discusses the restraints and ethical issues related to their use. By using qualitative research methods, the empirical part of this thesis surveys the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards this issue. It discusses specific restraints and the reasons for which they are used. The results show that the most important value of healthcare professionals is health and the most respected ethical principle is the principle of beneficence. Key Words: old age, geriatric patient, health risk, restraints, ethical principle

Creatine monohydrate as a part of sarcopenia prevention in geriatric patients
Šaier, Martin ; Vágnerová, Tereza (advisor) ; Topinková, Eva (referee)
Introduction: Sarcopenia is a disease with a high prevalence in the elderly population and a significant negative impact on quality of life. Physical activity along with adequate nutritional intervention are key to mitigating these effects. Methods: The research was conducted using a questionnaire survey in which 113 nursing homes participated. The quality of nutritional care in these facilities was determined using a survey. Results: A total of 113 nursing homes were included in the research. Of these, 57% of facilities had a registered dietitian available. Nursing homes assess the presence of malnutrition at least 4 times a year in 74% of cases, of which they most often use changes in weight (80 %) and monitoring of food intake (70 %). Only 50 % of the facilities use validated nutritional screening tool. 83 % of the facilities apply nutritional support, most often in the form of diet modification and sipping (98 %). They use food fortifications less often, in a total of 57 % of facilities. The presence of a registered dietitian is affected by the size of the facility, with the larger ones being available to the registered dietitian at a higher frequency. The presence of a registered dietitian in the facility significantly positively affects the frequency of detection of malnutrition (P = 0.039)....

Polívková, Helena ; Di Cara, Veronika (advisor) ; Hocková, Jana (referee)
The theme of the final thesis is the nursing process in a patient with iatrogenic perforation of the esophagus in the Department of Geriatric Medicine. I consider the chosen topic to be very interesting, but not too often presented from the viewpoint of a nurse and nursing. Based on a single patient case study, the objective was to analyze the care provided for a patient with iatrogenic perforation of the esophagus in the Department of Geriatric Medicine. Nursing care was focused on the care of a geriatric patient with an esophagostomy, mediastinal drain and cognitive deficits. Another goal was to demonstrate that even in the geriatric department, very good results can be achieved by providing a good patient care. The last objective was to compare the procedures provided by nursing care in the Czech Republic and abroad. In my final thesis, I used a case study method, implemented by a nursing case in a patient in the geriatric department and aftercare of a regional type medical facility. Information for the final thesis was drawn from Czech and foreign literature, own observation and provision of nursing care, interview with the patient and from its available documentation. Part of the information was obtained from an interview with the medical team that provided the care. I had the oral approval of...

Klbíková, Tereza ; Topinková, Eva (advisor) ; Meisnerová, Eva (referee)
Objectives: The aim of this non-interventional observational study was to determine the prevalence of frailty in a cohort of 200 elderly patients and its correlation and dependence in relation to nutritional status and to evaluate the correlation of the items in the MNA - SF and SPPB test batteries and determine whether the weight loss is related to poor results in the evaluation of geriatric frailty, and to evaluate whether cognitive function affects nutritional status and if nutritional status in such circumstances affects subjects' self- sufficiency. Methods: Data was sourced from the results of standardized tests in Comprehensive Geriatric, Assessment, CGA at the 1. LF UK Geriatric Clinic, which include the assessment of selfsufficiency (ADL) and condition (SPPB), cognitive functions (MMSE) and the assessment of nutritional status (MNA - SF). Patients were also measured for bodyweight, height and BMI. Results: The study included a total of 200 patients, of whom 46 (23%) were men and 154 women (77%). Geriatric frailty was diagnosed in 59.5% of patients, with 21.5% of patients being classified as "pre-frailty" and 19 % of good physical condition. In this group 15.5% of patients were malnourished, 37.5% were at risk of malnutrition and 47 % were in a good nutritional condition. A statistically...
