Diplomsko delo predstavlja in prikazuje obseg zdravstvene nege pri obravnavi pacienta z duševno manjrazvitostjo v socialno varstvenem zavodu. Opisuje značilnosti oseb z duševno manjrazvitostjo, klinično sliko in stopnje duševne manjrazvitosti. Predstavlja delo članov negovalnega tima v obravnavi pacienta z duševno manjrazvitostjo in vlogo družine ter pravice oseb z duševno manjrazvitostjo. V empiričnem delu so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave izvedene med člani negovalnega tima, zaposlenimi v Zavodu dr. Marijana Borštnarja Dornava. Analiza rezultatov raziskave je pokazala, da je delo s pacientom z duševno manjrazvitostjo naporno in obremenjujoče, kar člane negovalnega tima pogosto privede do občutkov izčrpanosti. Vzrok za ta problem se v največji meri skriva v premajhnem številu delovnega kadra.This diploma paper represents and shows the scope of health care when handling a patient with mental retardation in a social welfare institution.
