(v AJ) I chose the topic for my bachelor thesis: Nursing care of a patient with lymphoma. I consider this topic as a very actual because the occurence of lymphoma is increasing (In: Linkos, 2019). Lymphomas refer to tumors which originate from lymphocytes. The theoretical part deals with the issue of lymphomas. I focus mainly on their diagnostics and treatment. And I deal with nursing care and the Lymphoma Help patient organization. Before I started to work on my bachelor thesis I had made a research in the National Medical Library. Furthermore, I used information from the databases: BMC, PubMed, EBSCOhost and Medline. I also used therapeutic recommendations - Cooperative lymphoma groups. Methology: I chose a case study of a patient with B-cell lymphoma from large cells, diffuse for the preparation of this thesis. I used Marjory Gordon's functional health model. Nursing standard procedures, potential risks of nursing care and their prevention are mentioned and described in a specific case. Objective:. I focus on general nursing care of a patient diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma from large cells, diffuse, who has undergone chemotherapy. Results: Nursing procedures are determined and their compliance is monitored. The information leaflet for patients is being created upon this study. Conclusion: New...

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is very rare disease (estimated incidence is one case for one million people per year), which nature is uncontrollable reproduction of infectious prion protein in brain tissue. In some cases, the disease might have long incubation time but then very fast progression and in all cases, it ends with death. Nowadays we do not know curative treatment and the patient depends only on palliative treatment. The main goal of my Thesis is to describe a nursing care of a patient with this disease and to emphasize the importance of the palliative care. Partial goal is to describe disease progression (clinical condition of the patient) from the admission to the hospice until the end of her life (total of 27 days) and to increase knowledge about this disease among the medical staff. I also set a goal to find out specifics of care of patients with this disease. The Thesis is written as case report of a specific patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The methodology for case report is detailed study of patient's medical documentation in the hospice and cooperation with nursing staff and doctors. Based on the case report I can state that palliative care does not differ a lot for varied diseases of patients, however for patients with CJD the specific is the preventive use of...

The patient's autonomy is very important part of medical and nursing practice and every patient should have a right to express their opinion about their treatment. Advance directives give person an opportunity to express even in situations when it is not possible to communicate with others. Although it is possible to write advance directives in the Czech Republic only negligible percentage of people take advantage of this possibility. Why is it so? I have set two goals in my thesis. My first goal is to determine the awareness of the general public about the advance directives in the Czech Republic and also I want to find out awareness about the possibility to appoint a guardian as a mediator of fulfilment of advance directives of an individual. It is also my goal to discover whether respondents would welcome greater awareness of this topic. My second objective is to determine the attitudes of respondents to the problematics of advance directives. I want to discover if the respondents have ever dealt with the idea of being in a situation which they could not communicate with their environment and if they would like to have an opinion to decide about their treatment and also if they would like to name their mediator. I would like to provide the results of my thesis to the department of quality...
