Health related quality of life (HRQoL) in drug addicts and their dependents in relation to gender.
ZLATUŠKOVÁ, Vendula
I focus my bachelor thesis on ascertaining the life quality of drug-addicted persons and their family members. The goal of my work is to document, with standardized methods, the differences in their perception of life quality compared with healthy population and to try to analyze differences in both sexes. The following hypotheses were set: H1: Life quality of drug-addicted persons and their families is lower than that of general population. H2: Life quality of drug-addicted persons and their family members differs depending on their sexes. Quantitative character method was selected for the research part, using the SF-36 standardized questionnaire of health-conditioned life quality. The resulting research shows considerable difference of the observed sample of drug-addicted persons compared to European Oxford standard in 8 domains. The perception of life quality by family members is also different in all domains, statistically significant at 5% level of significance, which confirms the hypothesis H1 in full extent. The comparison of perception of life quality by drug-addicted men versus drug-addicted women shows only slight differences. The same applies to family members; therefore that difference appears statistically insignificant, under 5% level of significance. So I can disprove the hypothesis H2. The thesis presents compact survey of the issue of life quality of drug-addicted persons and their family members, trying to give a base for further work with them, particularly in social-therapeutic area.
Life quality of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis
OHÁŇKOVÁ, Jana
A multiple cerebrospinal sclerosis is one of the most frequent neurologic diseases affecting individuals in the productive age, more often women. The thesis aims to describe the life quality of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. To detect whether due to the multiple sclerosis the qualities of life change. If this would be the case then the goal is to reveal which aspects the changes affect. Another objective was to establish whether the life quality of multiple sclerosis patients decreases depending on the period of time since the diagnosis was made, that is on the duration of the disease. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to describing the disease in general, signs, symptoms, prognosis, and treatment. I also deal with defining the term of life quality and its clarification, I also discuss the social-legal problems of the disease. The practical part of the thesis implements both qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative method included a semi-standardized interview. The quantitative method incorporated interrogative research using a SF-36 questionnaire about the quality of life conditioned by health. The information detected from the semi-standardized interview (the qualitative part) served as the basis for defining hypotheses for the quantitative part of the thesis. The following hypotheses were defined: H1: ``The quality of life in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis is lower than in the general population" and H2: "The quality of life in multiple sclerosis carriers decreases in correlation to the period of time since the diagnosis was made, that is on the duration of the disease.{\crqq} Chapter ``Results{\crqq} contains the established information.
