Catering persons with hypercholesterolemia
CHARYPAROVÁ, Ludmila
My bachelor thesis is called ,,Food for people with hypercholesterolemia", and it focuses on cholesterol intake and its impact on the human body. The main aim of this thesis was to map the diet of people with hypercholesterolemia regarding both, quality and quantity of meals. The first part of this thesis is theoretical. It focuses on the description of basic nutritional components, on the issue of fat and cholesterol in the diet, on the characteristics of hypercholesterolemia disease, its classification, causes of development of this disease, treatment options and prognosis. The risk factors which lead to the hypercholesterolemia disease development, dietary restrictions, and some examples of low cholesterol and low fat diet menus are also mentioned in the first part of thesis. The practical part of this thesis was done as a qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research was conducted using the snowball method from February to March. Selected respondents recorded their diet for the period of one week. The diet was recorded in the record sheets which I evaluated after they were filled in and returned back to me. I entered all of the foods mentioned in the diet record sheets into the program ,,Nutriservis Prefesional", which helped me to calculate average intake of energy, fats, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates during the reference period. I also submitted questionnaire to examine eating habits, diseases and physical parameters of my respondents. The questionnaire was focused mainly on the frequency and quantity of food with high cholesterol. Then I determined the ideal weight according to BMI index for every respondent and from the ideal weight I calculated the ideal intake of calories, fats, proteins and carbohydrates per day. I compared ideal values of energy, macronutrients and cholesterol of each respondent with average values recorded during the research. The research revealed that most respondents have a diet with larger quantities of cholesterol than the recommended daily dose i.e. 300 mg of cholesterol per day.

Nursing care of the patients with chronic pancreatitis
SKOŘEPOVÁ, Jana
Chronic pancreatitis is a serious disease, which despite the rapid development of diagnostics and treatment is often diagnosed in late stages. The disease cannot actually be cured, but change of lifestyle and adherence to diet regimen can influence not only the disease course and progression, but also occurrence of complications. This thesis deals with the problems of nursing care of patients with chronic pancreatitis, with the level of awareness of the disease and the regimen measures among patients. It also monitors willingness and ability of respondents to accept the change of lifestyle and diet habits. The goal of the thesis is to find out the specifics of nursing care of clients with chronic pancreatitis. Qualitative research methods were applied in the empiric part of the thesis to achieve the goal.The research was performed in clients with chronic pancreatitis visiting the gastroenterology outpatient department of Tábor Hospital and a group of ten respondents at different stages of the disease were subject to the research. Their selection was conditioned by their willingness to participate in the research and to cooperate. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each respondent. Thorough study of these problems and the results of the research led to a brief and clear information brochure for people suffering from chronic pancreatitis as the output of the activities. This manual should serve as a summary and specification of information, which the patient can read at home without fuss after being educated orally. With regard to the achievements of our work we would like to make this work and its results available to the nursing care public as much as possible. We hope that the results of our work will increase interest in this issue among professionals and will address further workers willing to participate in its solution
