Education Programmes for Wilson´s Disease Patients
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Michaela
The Bachelor thesis called ``Education Programmes for Wilson´s Disease Patients`` describes the disease itself, its cause, education programmes provided by nurses, the methods and functions of the education programmes, the impact of the disease on patient´s everyday life and significant changes in his lifestyle as a whole. The thesis has two aims. 1. To find out if educated patients follow the diet recommended to them. 2. To find out how much the Wilson´s disease affects patients´everyday lives. Two hypotheses were stated: The patients are supposed to follow the diet recommmended. The patients´ lifestyle is changed while keeping the therapeutic regime. The hypotheses were verified by a quantitative research technique. The data were collected by a questionnaire which was responded by adult patients of professional departments, 4th Department of Medicine - Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague and General University Hospital in Prague, Department of Neurology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague and General University Hospital in Praque and Inpatient and Outpatient Departments in Strakonice. The survey has shown that educated patients follow the diet recommended and the therapeutic regime affects significantly their everyday lives. The hypotheses stated at the beginning were proved. One interesting fact was that the neurology outpatients believe more than the others that their lifestyles are affected by the therapeutic regime. On the other hand most of them think their lives do not differ much from healthy population. The findings of the thesis can improve educational programmes for these patients and their families provided by nurses.
