The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by the restriction of air flow in the bronchi. It is a combination of two diseases: chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema. Because the symptoms of both diseases blend, the joint name ?chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? is used. It is a neutrophil inflammation that causes irreversible changes. The most common cause of the disease is smoking tobacco products.The aim of this bachelor?s work is to determine the specifics of nursing and refer to the specific needs of patients. If nurses should provide high-quality care, they must be aware of these specifics when treating patients with this particular disease. The role of the nurses in this area is very important as they must approach patients individually. The nurses provide specific nursing care and educate patients. The theoretical part of the work focuses on the characteristics of the disease, its causes, treatment or prevention and nursing activities performed by nurses. The practical part of the work was processed in the form of qualitative research by means of a semi-structured interview. The research sample was represented by patients from pulmonary hospitals and pulmonary departments of hospitals in the Plzeň region and the Central Bohemian region. In total, eight respondents participated in the research. According to interviews, case reports were executed based on which categorized tables were executed with the most interesting data.It arises from the results that the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease brings various problems, and a patient and nurse must be able to solve them and be aware of them. Further, it is obvious that informedness of patients, and the wider public, could be more detailed because this disease stands on the first place in the list of civilization diseases and there are increasingly more patients with this disease. Thus, a brochure was executed based on the results with the aim to provide information about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.This information brochure can be used for study purposes or for patients with this disease. |
