Nursing care of patients with viral diseases of the skin
 NOVÁKOVÁ, Iva
This Bachelor thesis describes viral skin diseases as well as the prevalence of viral diseases. It also describes varicella zoster virus, herpes zoster and varicella diseases. Further chapters of the work are focused on the explanation of what barrier regime within an ill person means and the role of a nurse in the care for patients with a viral disease. The majority of the population meet varicella disease as children. After primo-infection, varicella zoster virus hides in some of the sensitive ganglia and remains in our organism for the whole of our life. It can become active at any time and thus cause herpes zoster disease. Most often, the virus is activated in case of immunosuppression. The aim of the Bachelor thesis named "Nursing Care for Patients with Viral Skin Disease" was to map nursing care provided by nurses based on professional literature and a research survey. The research survey was carried out using qualitative method in the form of a semi-structured interview. Two research questions were set: What are the specifics of nursing care with patients suffering from a selected viral skin disease? And: What is the role of a nurse in the prevention of a disease caused by varicella zoster? A nurse cannot really prevent developing shingles or chickenpox. Thus a child would not be allowed to socialize with people which is how they get infected most often and with herpes zoster it depends on the overall condition of the patient at most. It often develops with immunosuppressed people. This is the reason why the main prevention is its reinforcement. Varicella vaccine exists but it is recommended only after reaching 50 years of age. A nurse rebounds to the prevention by adhering to barrier and hygiene practices and thus prevents the transmission of varicella virus to another person. However, what a nurse can influence significantly is the prevention of complications, especially by informing patients about these diseases. Our research survey showed that nurses inform about the barrier regime principles, overall adherence and other regime measures.
