The influence of pacemaker implantation on the patient´s life
 HOLUBOVÁ, Kateřina
Bachelor thesis concerns with the issue of perception and effect of the pacemaker on patient and his life. The theoretical part deals with particular illnesses as indications to a permanent cardiac stimulation. It also describes individual examinations that a cardiological patient can undergo. Major category comprises of regime measures and recommendations on how to perform with a pacemaker. This category is systematically divided into specific spheres, in which a problem or a potential risk for the pacemaker as well as for the patient can arise. The practical, research part is done with a help of a qualitative research survey with a half-structured interview as a tool of information obtaining. The questions were drawn in order to cover the life before pacemaker´s implantation, during the stay in hospital and to catch the following adaptation to the pacemaker and to this reality. The research group comprised of 10 patients implanted 4 - 8 months before the survey. The aim of this thesis was to find out what effect the pacemaker and his implantation have. The results show the effect of pacemaker mainly in connection with complications experienced. Our respondents admitted that adaptation to the pacemaker took them some time. The exception was the respondent who did not accept the pacemaker, especially in connection with the feeling of the mechanism in the body and the visibility of the devices under the skin. From the interviews with the respondents, we clearly show that their lack of a brochure, information material about the risks associated with this problems. The results obtained and information collected lead to our decision to issue an informative leaflet for patients, which also became an output of the bachelor thesis. This booklet contains the experiences of patients who have already had a pacemaker implantation.
