The main task of this thesis is to assess the specifics of nursing care of patients with psoriatic arthritis. Two research questions are specified in relation to this aim: What are the specific needs of patients with psoriatic arthritis? What problems do the patients with psoriatic arthritis have while performing everyday activities? The research part of this bachelor thesis was compiled using the qualitative research method, implemented in the form of a semi-structured interview. The research sample consisted of 6 informants, who were diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. The whole interview was composed of 33 questions, while some of them included complementary sub-questions. The interview was divided into basic categorization facts and the actual interview. The whole interview was recorded on mobile phone using the audio recording application. Subsequently, the interviews were transcribed into printed form and processed using the "pencil and paper" open coding technique. The survey results are divided into the following categories: physical health, self-sufficiency and psychosocial needs. The results of this thesis provide a perspective on the problems of psoriatic arthritis from the patients' point of view. The acquired thesis results can be used as educational material for students in the medical field or serve general nurses providing nursing care to patients with psoriatic arthritis. |
