The issue of compensation of a heart valve from the perspective of the patient
MUNDLOVÁ, Anna
A heart valve replacement is one of the most technically difficult cardiac surgeries. For the patient, it means a mental and physical health intervention. Heart valve surgery is currently the second most common cardiac surgery - accounting for up to 20% of the total number of cardiac surgeries. The goals and objectives of a heart valve replacement are to improve patients' quality of life and their medical prognosis. The heart valve replacement is carried out only in cases when we cannot perform the heart valve plastic surgery and thereby replace the entire heart valve with an artificial one. Heart valve prosthetics can be mechanical - patients with this kind of prosthetics are then warfarinized for life or they can also be made of biological material (bioprosthetics). Patients with bioprostehtics require only a three month long anticoagulant therapy. Temporary postoperative complications may occur such as dyspnoea, gastric and intestinal atony or aggravation of pulmonary functions. Among the rarer complications are rhythm disorders, thrombosis of prosthetic heart valve, and last but not least infective endocarditis. The patients, after the heart valve replacement, are at a greater risk of complications, therefore they are obliged to always have their patient at risk of infection endocarditis card with them (see appendix 4). After the operation the patients are informed about the lifestyle changes they are to follow within their daily routine, the information is delivered by doctors and nurses. The task of the nurses is to inform the patient about the lifestyle changes together with doctors. Good understanding and observance of these lifestyle changes help to improve patients' life after the heart valve replacement. This bachelor thesis is divided into an empirical and theoretical part. The theoretical part focussing on the problems connected with the heart valve replacement, valvular imperfections, perioperative nursing, patients' lifestyle changes and their quality of life.

Prior to elaborating the practical part of the thesis we had established two objectives. Objective 1: To find out whether the patients educated without an educational plan are as knowledgeable as the patients educated through an educational plan. Objective 2: To compare whether the patients educated without an educational plan comply with the principles of the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction in the same way as the patients with an educational plan. A qualitative form of research had been chosen for this thesis, semi-standardized interview in particular. The analysis of the data gained was subsequently carried out. Two objectives had been established in the thesis. Objective 1: To find out whether the patients educated without an educational plan are as knowledgeable as the patients educated through an educational plan. Through the analysis of the obtained data we found out that the patients educated without an educational plan are as knowledgeable as the patients educated through an educational plan. Objective 2: To compare whether the patients educated without an educational plan comply with the principles of the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction in the same way as the patients with an educational plan. Having compared the results we found out that the patients with an educational plan comply with the principles of the secondary prevention more consistently than the patients educated without an educational plan. The objectives of the thesis were met.
