This bachelor thesis deals with patients compliance during the process of weight reduction. The thesis aims to chart patients compliance during the process of weight reduction. The theoretical part defines overweight and obesity and its variations, prevention, causes, diagnostic and treatment. The next chapter deals with compliance and definition of nutritional therapist and nutritional advice. The last chapter of the theoretical part describes recommendations for weight loss, specifically proportionate amount of energy, advice on nutritional and physical activities, also psychological recommendations for sleep. The practical part was founded on qualitative research, specifically case studies containing interviews, anthropometrical data, bioimpedance records and menus. In the beginning, there were eleven respondents taking part in the practical part but two of them resigned. Two research questions were raised upon the practical part. The first one tried to determine what factors are involved in patients compliance during the process of weight reduction. The second one tried to determine what is the real nutritional and energy intake during the process of weight reduction. Obtained data was later transcribed and later evaluated in the software program Nutriservis professional. Obtained data show patients abide by the recommended regime in different rates case by case as in active cooperation with it. Out of the most common factors determining patients compliance, we may highlight the support by close ones, checks up in nutritional counselling office, fear of illness or stress. Menu records show the real nutritional and energy intake of patients corresponds to the set-up reduction regime. Problems occurred case by case i.e. with fibre intake. Results of the thesis might be used as a source for education material or as a general guideline helping cooperation of patients in the nutritional counselling office. |
