Nursing Care for a Client with Celiac Disease

I chose {\clq}qNursing Care for a Client with Celiac Disease`` as the subject of my bachelor´s work to outline this problem and to point out the difficulties celiacs face. Celiac disease is a hereditary autoimmune disease of the small intestine, which is caused by the intolerance of proteins contained in grain gluten. On the mucous membrane of the small intestine, mucous villi disappear. Typical difficulties include a disorder of the digestion of compound sugars and insufficient absorption of proteins, fats, vitamins and iron. Celiac disease cannot be cured, however, it can be treated successfully. The only, and at the same time quite sufficient curative measure is a complete elimination of gluten from food {--} gluten-free diet. The work is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, where I go into the substance of the disease, its diagnostics and therapy. The research part has been processed in a qualitative method. The goal of the work was to evaluate the possibilities of people suffering from this disease and their way of life. When doing interviews, I interrogated patients of all ages. For the purposes of this work I used the casuistry of individual celiacs. I focus on the course of the disease, troubles before and after the diagnosis being determined or the experience of patients with catering out of home. Furthermore, I assess the way of instruction (the form it was carried out and by whom), as well as the financial aspects of a particular family. Another part of the research is focused on state registered nurses. The aim of this research is to determine the role of nurses in caring for clients with celiac disease. In gastroenterological centres, care for those suffering from celiac disease takes the form of a complex approach. This approach enables frequent diagnostics, therapy and dispensarisation. It leads to improvement in the state of health and quality of lives of sick celiacs. The awareness of people of celiac disease is very low. However, more and more attention is paid nowadays to the problems of celiac disease, both from the point of view of cure and research, and on the part of the producers and dealers of gluten-free foods
