AWARENESS OF PEOPLE ABOUT CONSEQUENCESS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Teoretična izhodišča: V diplomskem delu smo predstavili nevarnosti visokega krvnega tlaka, opisali krvni tlak, dejavnike, ki povzročajo visok krvni tlak, in posledice, ki lahko nastanejo zaradi visokega krvnega tlaka. Opisali smo zdravstveno-vzgojno delo diplomirane medicinske sestre in predstavili zdrav način življenja, ki ga medicinska sestra predstavi bolniku z visokim krvnim tlakom. Metode: Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz dveh delov. V empiričnem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela. Kot raziskovalni instrument smo uporabili anketni vprašalnik, ki je vseboval 15 vprašanj. Raziskavo smo izvedli med 50 naključno izbranimi krajani v vasi Planina na Pohorju. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo, da anketirani imajo veliko informacij o visokem krvnem tlaku, 80 % anketiranih pozna simptome, ki se pojavijo ob visokem krvnem tlaku, in dejavnike, ki ga povzročajo. Vendar premalo vedo o posledicah, ki nastanejo zaradi visokega krvnega tlaka, saj za okvare vida in ledvic ve manj kot polovica anketiranih. Ugotovili smo, da anketirani ne živijo dovolj zdravega načina življenja in da se tisti anketirani, ki imajo visok krvni tlak, ne držijo vseh omejitev in zdravega načina življenja, kar nam pove podatek, da samo 7 anketiranih, ki imajo povišan krvni tlak, uživa sadje in zelenjavo vsaj 1-krat na dan, in da 7 anketiranih, ki imajo povišan krvni tlak, pije alkohol vsak dan. Razprava in zaključek: Visok krvni tlak je bolezen, o kateri je že veliko napisano, ljudje veliko vedo o dejavnikih, ki ga povzročajo, o načinih, kako krvni tlak znižati, vendar premalo o posledicah, ki lahko nastanejo. V večjih mestih so pogosto organizirana predavanja in delavnice na to temo, v manjših krajih in podeželju takih delavnic ni ali pa ljudje pogosto ne vedo zanje. Zato je preventivno delo diplomirane medicinske sestre pomembno, vendar bi se moralo izvajati pogosteje in tudi v manjših krajih.Theoretical basis: In this thesis we presented the risk of high blood pressure. We described blood pressure and the consequencess resulting from it. We describe the work of nurses and healthy lifestyle that is presented by nurse to a patient with high blood pressure. Methods: Thesis consists of two parts. At the second empirical part we used descriptive method of work. As a research instrument, we used the survey questionnaire, which consisted of 15 questions, the surwey was made betwen 50 people who live in Planina na Pohorju. Results: We found that the respondents have a lot of information about high blood pressure, 80% of respondents are aware of the symptoms that can occur because high blood pressure, and the factors that causes it, because less then half of respondents are aware thah it can effect eyes and kindeys. We\u27ve found that respondents do not live sufficiently healthy lifestyle and that those respondents who have high blood pressure do not adhere to all restrictions and a healthy lifestyle, which tells us the fact that only 7 of the respondents who have high blood pressure enjoy fruits and vegetables at least 1 times per day, and that 7 of the respondents who have high blood pressure drink alcohol every day. Discussion and conclusion: A lot is written already about high blood pressure. People know a lot about the factors that causes it, how to lower high blood pressure, but they do not know enough about the consequences. In major cities are often organized lectures and workshops on this topic, on countryside such kinds of activities are not organized or if they are people often do not know about them. Therefore prevention work of nurses is important, but it should be performed more often and also in smaller places
