Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease and social impact on subjects suffering from it
POVOLNÁ, Ludmila
The bachelor thesis titled Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease and social impact on subjects suffering from it deals with the issues relating to this chronic disease and the change in quality of life in subjects suffering from it. The theoretical part explains etiopathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnostic criteria, course of the disease, treatment, and disorder prognosis. Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease is neurofibromatosis type. It is a genetic heterogenous disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. It falls into a group of neurocutaneous syndromes, which are clinically manifested in common neurological and dermatological symptomatologies. Common clinical symptoms of Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease are café-au-lait macules, multiple cutaneous and subcutaneous neurofibromas, hyperpigmented patches, optic gliomas, or typical bone changes. The research part is based on a qualitative survey carried out by the method of questioning, and the technique of half-structured interviews. One interview involved mothers of a total of 10 children who had or were under suspicion of having Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease. The second interview involved three selected patients with Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease. The quality of life was assessed through SEIQoL method. The target of the thesis was to determine the social impact of the disease on a subject and his/her closest family. The survey showed that the impact is, when there is a person suffering from Recklinghausen{\crq}s disease, significant and utterly comparable with those observed in other chronic disorders. The disease may have, to a certain extent, a gradual negative impact on a patient{\crq}s self-respect and change the quality of his/her life. The outcome of SEIQoL assessment implies that respondents in both groups consider health to be the most important stimulus to live; and the degree of satisfaction in each subject has a close relation to his/her personal concept of quality of life.
