Adherence to treatment regime of patients with chronic kidney disease
FOUSKOVÁ, Jitka
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease in the progressing stage can significantly affect the quality of the patients' lives. It is estimated that more than 10 % of the worldwide population suffer from this disease. Proper nursing care, lifestyle modification and following proper medical treatment could significantly slow down the progression of disease. The main aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out the level of adherence to the treatment regime of patients with chronic kidney disease. Methodology: Quantitative research was chosen to process the practical part. Results were collected using a standardised questionnaire containing 50 questions to determine the attitude of haemodialysis centre patients towards adherence to dialysis plan, medication, fluid restriction and diet. Collected data was analysed and statistically processed using Microsoft Excel programme. Results: The research sample was made up by 94 respondents. The results show that 58,5 % patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment have an adherent attitude to the treatment. Keeping therapy treatment is influenced by the attitude of nursing staff. For most of the respondents, it is important to follow a treatment regime, so that their health does not deteriorate or because they realise that the condition of their kidneys requires them to follow experts' advice. Conclusion: The results of our thesis highlight the importance of nurses paying attention to patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients with whom nursing staff regularly talk about their treatment follow recommendations more conscientiously. The most frequent problem among patients is misunderstanding treatment and recommendations.

Title: Functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system on individuals after kindey transplantation Defining of the problem: Renal transplantation is a method to treat patients with renal failure,which is associated to a prolonged survival of patients compared to a dialysis method (Viklický et al., 2008). After a successful renal transplantation the renal function is restored and complications caused by dialysis treatment disappear . However, complications due to the transplant, not only in terms of surgical intervention, but also from the point of a lifelong immunosuppressive therapy remain at risk. Functional changes on the locomotor system can occur as a concequence of a long-term renal disease or kidney transplant. This could further reduce the quality of life on patients due to self-sufficiency, being the main role of the locomotor system. Objectives: The aim of this study is to valuate functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system on individuals after kindey transplantation up to one year after a transplant. Methods: This thesis is elaborated in the form of an analytical - experimental study in which 2 groups of selected individuals were tested. Testing was conducted by using suitable tests focused on functional disorders of the locomotor system and parameters in each group and time...
