 OBERFALCEROVÁ, Eva
Abstract The topic of this bachelor thesis is ?Diabetic Foot Syndrome as Viewed by Nurses?. Diabetes mellitus is a frequent endocrinological disease, and the most frequent diabetes complication is the diabetic foot syndrome which occurs as the result of poor compensation of diabetes. The prevalence of this disease is very high, so it is important to timely detect any complications through screening.The research part of this bachelor thesis was processed by the method of qualitative research whose respondents were nurses working at a surgical and internal ward and nurses working at a diabetologic and podiatric outpatient surgery. The objective of this thesis was to ascertain the most frequent problems encountered in treatment of a diabetic foot and to ascertain the role of nurses in a standard screening evaluation of diabetics? feet within the scope of a common practice of diabetologists at outpatient surgeries and nurses at hospital. The research results were processed through interviews with nurses. We have put the following main research questions: What are the most frequent complications reported by clients suffering from a diabetic foot syndrome? What screening tests are carried out at a diabetologist?s outpatient surgery? Is there any difference between the evaluation of the feet of a diabetic in a diabetologist?s outpatient surgery and of a diabetic admitted to hospital? Is a nurse able to evaluate the feet of a diabetic on her own? Do nurses have sufficient information on treatment of a diabetic foot? Based on these questions we created sub-questions for the interviews. The interview consisted of 23 questions addressed to nurses. This thesis will serve as an information material for nurses working at hospital and for nurses working at an outpatient surgery. It may also be used as an information material for students undertaking specialization courses, such as Podiatric Nurse or Diabetologic Nurse. The result of the thesis draws attention to the problems concerning the treatment of a diabetic foot and the problems concerning the screening examination of diabetics? feet.
