Šitinová, Hana ; Klokočková, Šárka (advisor) ; Bratová, Andrea (referee)
Aims: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to assess the change in quality of life of patients and their close relatives after hospitalization in the ICU and assess the dependence of this change on patients' age, length of hospitalization in the ICU, length of artificial lung ventilation (UPV) and time since discharge from the ICU. Methods: The research was performed at the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Clinic of the University Hospital at St. Anny in Brno. Quality of life was measured using quality of life questionnaires, in SF-36 patients, in EQ-5D-3L relatives. Age, sex, length of UPV and hospitalization and time since discharge from the ICU were monitored. The Wilcoxon test was used for statistical comparison of groups, the dependence of quality of life dimensions on other parameters was evaluated using Spearman's correlation. Results: The study group consisted of 61 patients and 45 relatives. With the exception of the physical pain dimension, the quality of life of patients after hospitalization was significantly lower than before hospitalization in all dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaires. Physical performance (PF), the ability to perform normal daily activities for physical (RP) and emotional (RE) reasons, and social functions (SF) were most affected. Neither the length of hospitalization...

Introduction to the issue: Stay in an intensive care unit or anaesthesiology and resuscitation department has a demonstrable effect on the quality of life, whether mental, physical, or mental. A large percentage of patients experience post intensive care syndrome. The huge challenge for nursing care is to reduce this percentage and enable patients to recover in the best possible way and return to normal life of the same quality as before the hospitalization Methodology: The aim of this work is to find out how the quality of life of patients is affected after hospitalization in the intensive care unit or anaesthesiology and resuscitation department, with a proportion of acute renal failure and the need for continuous renal replacement. First, patients were evaluated with APACHE II score, SOFA and TISS 2. Next, questionnaires in which they responded to the period before hospitalization (SF 36, DEMMI, ADL, IADL) were filled, when released from ARO they went through the test of physical capability, (30s sit-up test, 6-minute walk test), further measurements when released from ICU took place (HADS, MAF, DEMMI, ADL, 30s sit-p test, 6-minute walk test), and after three months (SF 36, HADS, MAF, DEMMI, IADL, ADL 30s sit-up test, 6-minute walk test and a week of wearing a Garmin vivofit bracelet).
