Quality of Life in Parkinson disease users of LCIG system

Abstract

Ciljevi istraživanja: Ciljevi istraživanja su ispitati kvalitetu života oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti korisnika LCIG sustava i bolesnika oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti liječenih peroralnom terapijom, te istražiti postoji li razlika u kvaliteti života jednih u odnosu na druge. Nacrt studije: Retrospektivna studija provedena je na Klinici za neurologiju, KBC Osijek. Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanje je bilo uključeno 30 ispitanika odnosno osobe koji su dolazili na kontrolne ambulantne preglede u KBC Osijek, na Kliniku za neurologiju. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom mjeseca listopada i studenog 2016. Radi se o ispitanicima oba spola, između 51 i 80 godina. Ispitanici su bolesnici oboljeli od Parkinsonove bolesti, svih 10 korisnika LCIG sustava za liječenje, a kontrolnu skupinu čine 20 ispitanika oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti liječenih peroralnom terapijom. I jednima i drugima bolest je dijagnosticirana u posljednjih pet godina. Rezultati: Zabilježena je statistički značajna razlika između kvalitete života oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti korisnika LCIG sustava i bolesnika oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti liječenih peroralnom terapijom. Zaključak: Analizom podataka dobivenih u istraživanju provedenom pri ambulanti za oboljele od Parkinsonove bolesti potvrđeno je da oboljeli od Parkinsonove bolesti,a korisnici LCIG susava imaju manje komplikacija koje ova bolest uzrokuje. One su i dalje prisutne, ali u blažem obliku, nego kod oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti, a liječenih peroralnom terapijom. To treba imati na umu kao važno obilježje i pri sestrinskom odnosu prema ovoj vrsti bolesnika.Aim of research: The aims of this research is to examine the quality of life for people suffering from Parkinson disease using the LCIG system and the ones suffering from Parkinson disease treated with oral therapy.
