Metabolický syndrom versus civilizační onemocnění / Metabolic syndrome versus civilisatin diseases

In connection with developement of industrial production and with improving of living conditions the western civilisation has faced gradual increase of occurance of civilisation diseases including metabolical syndrome. The definition of the syndrom that is currently used in the Czech Republic is according to the Czech Institute of Metabolic Syndrome, which diagnozes the metabolical syndrome when more that three out of five risk factors are present- abdominal obesity, encreased level of HDL-cholesterole and decreased level of tricylglycerols, hypertension and diabetes mellitus type 2 or insuline resistence. Two aims were stated to process the thesis: 1) Knowledge of nonmedical healthcare staff about metabolical syndrome and its relation to civilisation diseases and particular risk factors influencing its emergence and its referential values, in connection with C/P education during the treating process. 2) Finding out whether the knowledge of nonmedical healthcarestaff about treatment, prevention and occurance of metabolical syndrom depends on level of education of a nurse. The dates for the research part of the thesis were collected in quantitative research- the method of questionnaire-the respondent were the general nurses. The hypotheses were analyzed as follows: H1: Knowledge of civilisation diseases belonging to the Metabolic Syndrome group increases together with nonmedical healthcare workers education. H2: Knowledge of referential values of Metabolic Syndrome risk factors increases with higher education of the nonmedical healthcare workers. H3: Knowledge of referential values of Metabolic Syndrome risk factors increases with the lenght of experience of the nonmedical healthcare workers. H4: Choice of further treatment when finding out Metabolic Syndrome risk factors increases with the level of education nonmedical healthcare workers. All hypotheses were proven on basis of statistical verification (Pearson?s x2 test) and proven. The results of the theses have contributed to mapping of the knowledge of nonmedical healthcare staff about the term of metabolical syndrome. The data analysis shows that the nonmedical healthcare staff is not sufficiently aware of the term of metabolical syndrome. The data can be used for teaching nomedical healthcare staff about medical syndrome education, for extension of the Czech Institute of Metabolical Syndrome websites by the section for nonmedical healthcare staff and also for the Centre of Civilisation Diseases Prevention as basis for educational materials for nonmedical healthcare workers.
