Problems of anticoagulation therapy in terms of nurses and patients
KLÍMOVÁ, Adéla
This bachelor thesis deals with the use of oral anticoagulant drugs. It focuses primarily on issues of use in terms of patients and nurses. The aim of the work was to find patients' issues in taking oral anticoagulants and the ex-perience of nurses with complications of anticoagulation therapy. To achieve this goal, the empirical section was elaborated through a qualitative research survey conducted through semi-structured interviews with patients using anticoagulant medications and nurses working in outpatient or inpatient cardiology departments. Many surprising results were achieved by the research. The results demonstrated that nurses need to educate themselves about introducing new drugs. Further, nurses are not a primary source of information for the patient. They usually receive questions from pa-tients not explained to the doctor or necessary to repeat to patients. It has been found that nurses often do not encounter complications and have experienced more serious compli-cations only exceptionally. From interviews with patients, it was found that the most common complication they encountered was bleeding from Warfarin. The respondents did not notice any major problems for new oral anticoagulants. In addition, the patients are all informed in the course of the treatment, and each individual receives a variety of informa-tion. The research also demonstrates that patients are also interested in their treatment in-dividually, searching for information on the internet or sharing their experiences with each other. The research was further supplemented by a visit to a special coagulation clinic where the interview was conducted not only with the nurse but with the doctor. The bene-fit the clinic has for patients was presented. Clear material arose thanks to this bachelor thesis, where not only medical staff learned the biggest problems in taking oral anticoagulation therapy.

Králová, Eva ; Raudenská, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Jirkovský, Daniel (referee)
My bachelor thesis deals with the quality of life in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. The aim of the thesis is to assess the quality of life of this group of patients in the period after the completion of treatment and the influencing factors, and to compare the differences in the assessment of the quality of life for various time intervals from the completion of treatment. The theoretical part of the thesis gives an overview of cervical cancer, including the epidemiology, risk factors, classification, diagnosis, therapy and its early and late side effects, and the prevention of the disease. Definition of the quality of life is given together with the significance of the assessment of the quality of life. The empirical part is aimed to find out the subjective assessment of the quality of life and the level of functional status of the patients. The aims of the thesis and working hypotheses are defined, methods of the survey are described and the group of patients surveyed is presented. Patients were surveyed with a non-standardized questionnaire and the questionnaires for the assessment of the quality of life EORTC QLQ C-30 and QLQ CX-24. The data are presented in the form of graphs and tables with comments. The results of the survey are given together with their comparison to other...
