Nursing problems with a client suffering from pollen allergy
DOLEŽEL, Jakub
The seasonal allergic rhinitis, pollinosis, is the most common allergic disorder the occurrence of which, as well as other allergies, has substantially increased over recent years. It affects up to one fifth of population. This type of allergy may develop at any time during the lifetime, but it most frequently occurs between ages 15 and 25. The topic of the thesis is: Aspects of nursing in patients suffering from allergic rhinitis. The aim of my thesis was to find out if patients are familiar with regimen measures in allergic rhinitis, the role of a nurse in an allergic rhinitis patient´s education, if patients show interest in obtaining information on allergic rhinitis and which information sources on allergic rhinitis are used by patients. The coverage of the issue is based on specialist literature and the quantitative research conducted. The quantitative research is composed of two parts. The first research group was formed by patients suffering from allergic rhinitis who come to allergist´s office. The questionnaire technique was used to collect relevant data. The other research group was composed of nurses working in allergist´s offices. The data were gained by the interview method, the technique of a structured interview. The first hypothesis predicating that patients do not know the regimen measures was rejected both by the questionnaire technique and the interview method. The second hypothesis stating that nurses do not educate patients with allergic rhinitis was also rejected both by the questionnaire investigation and the structured interview. The third hypothesis claiming that patients do not show interest in obtaining information on allergic rhinitis was rejected both by the questionnaire technique and the interview method. The fourth hypothesis presuming that the most frequent source of information on allergic rhinitis are information brochures was confirmed by the questionnaire research. In my thesis I used excerpts from 22 resources of Czech and foreign literature dealing not only with the topic of allergic rhinitis.
