Health care of patients with infectious mononucleosis treated in Clinical medical center Split 2013.-2015.

Cilj: Provedeno istraživanje imalo je za cilj istražiti pojavnost i specifičnosti kroničnog umora u bolesnika oboljelih od infekcijske mononukleoze, te definirati ulogu medicinske sestre u zdravstvenoj njezi bolesnika s komplikacijama infekcijske mononukleoze. Metode: Za istraživanje smo koristili jednokratno telefonsko anketiranje oboljelih od infekcijske mononukleoze koji su liječeni na Klinici za infektologiju Kliničkog bolničkog centra Split u razdoblju 2013-2015. Sudionici istraživanja njih ukupno 30, anketirani su sredinom kolovoza 2016.godine uz suglasnost. Za statističku analizu podaci su unijeti u Microsoft Excel tablice i dobiveni podaci su onda analizirani metodom deskriptivne statistike. Rezultati: Istraživanjem smo dobili uvid u dobnu i spolnu strukturu bolesnika koji razvijaju komplikaciju kroničnog umora nakon infekcijske mononukleoze te kako iste utječu na njihove svakodnevne aktivnosti. Najčešće obolijevaju mladi iz dobne skupine < 20 godina (56,6 %). Također je uočljivo kako u nešto većem postotku obolijevaju žene (52,9 %), a osobe starije od 30 godina rijetko obolijevaju, međutim kad obole oni češće razvijaju komplikaciju kroničnog umora. Kronični umor najčešće se prepoznaje prema pojavi umora prilikom obavljanja svakodnevnih aktivnosti (88,2 %) te neodmarajućem snu (64,7 %). Uloga medicinske sestre važna je u edukaciji i potpori bolesnika i njegove obitelji. Medicinska sestra pruža informacije i pomoć pri prevladavanju smanjenog podnošenja napora, nesanice te o važnosti dijetoterapije.Research objectives: The aim of this study was to research incidence and specifics of chronic fatigue syndrome caused by infectious mononucleosis.

Study respondents, 30 of them, were conducted during the mid-October 2016. with consent. For the statistical analysis all data is entered and processed in Microsoft Excel tables. For data analyisis was used descriptive statistics. Results: With this study we gained insight in age and gender structure of patients who developed chronic fatigue syndrome after infectious mononucleosis and how this affects their everyday activities. Young people with the age of under 20 are the ones that usually fall ill (56,6 %). It's also noticable that women fall ill in somewhat higher percentage than men (52,9 %). Older than 30 rarely develop infectious mononucleosis, however once they fall ill, they are more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome. CFS is usually recognised by appearance of severe fatigue during daily activities (88,2 %) and un-resting sleep (64,7 %). Nurses role is important in education and support of patient and his family. Nurse provides informations and helps with overcoming reduced exertion endurance, insomnia and with the importance of diet-therapy
