Kadečková, Klára ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Svěcená, Kateřina (referee)
Patients with acquired brain damage, who are attending rehabilitation day-care center on the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the General Hospital and the First Medical Faculty of Charles University in Prague, are often limited by fatigue and lack of energy. Patients are attending day hospital mainly with brain damage acquired after stroke and less often also after brain trauma. Secondary prevention of atherosclerosis development or progression and prevention of stroke relapse is very important with these patients. Nutritional intervention plays significant role in prevention and treatment of many risk factors of an atherosclerotic artery damage. Common consequence of brain damage is development of secondary sarcopenia. Patient in day hospital must bring their own food. Individualized program as a result from examination by the multidisciplinary team doesn't include nutritional assessment. Study with patients with acquired brain damage was carried out on Department of Rehabilitation. Study used bioelectrical impedance analysis provided by InBody 370 S.

Regime measures and cardiologic patient
BOROVKOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor thesis deals with problems of regime measures accompanying a cardiac patient. Since the term cardiac patient can vary widely, we determined solely one cardiac disease and it is a myocardial infarction. The theoretical part deals with the characterization of disease myocardial infarction, the term prevention and more specific secondary prevention and individual regime measures for patients after myocardial infarction. Furthermore, in this part, there is mentioned the role of a nurse who takes care of a patient, and ultimately problems accompanying recommended regime measures and their compliance. The practical part included determination of two aims. The first was to find out what regime measures are recommended within the secondary prevention to cardiac patients. The second had the task of mapping the nurse's role in an educational process of regime measures. A qualitative research survey applied by non-standard semi-structured interviews, was used for the work. The interviews were held with 10 nurses at the field of cardiology and 6 patients after myocardial infarction event with a gap of one month. The main topic was recommended regime measures and educational process, that generates information transmission. The research survey showed satisfactory knowledge of nurses and the fact that the cardiological nurses are well informed about the matters. The nurses know their role very well and they are aware of what this role involves. The research also revealed a negative section of educational information. The little time security for quality educational process was an unfavourable part. The benefit of this bachelor thesis should be to ease the nursing care and to help the cardiological nurses. We wanted them to have the material at their shoulders, where everything related to the problems of recommended regime measures for patients with myocardial infarction will be summarized.
