Healthcare needs of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia

V diplomskem delu smo predstavili benigno hiperplazijo prostate, ki ima pomemben vpliv na kvaliteto življenja posameznika. Predstavili smo dejavnike tveganja za njen nastanek, vzroke za nastanek, pogostost pojavljanja bolezni. Navedli smo tudi težave, ki spremljajo moške s težavami z benignim povečanjem prostate, kdaj se pričnejo pojavljati in kakšne posledice ima bolezen na zdravje posameznika in kvaliteto njegovega življenja. V empiričnem delu smo predstavili rezultate raziskave, ki smo jo izvedli med naključnimi anketiranci moškega spola. Podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo anonimnega anketnega vprašalnika, kateri je bil odprtega tipa. Ugotoviti smo želeli ali moški prepoznajo dejavnike, ki vplivajo na pojav hipertrofije prostate in kolikšen je delež tistih, ki poiščejo pomoč zaradi težav, ki jih povzroča benigna hiperplazija prostate. Ugotovili smo, da moški niso ustrezno poučeni o dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na pojav benigne hiperplazije prostate. Tudi odstotek tistih, ki imajo težave in poiščejo pomoč zdravnika je premajhen.In this graduated paper we present benign prostatic hyperplasia, which has a significant impact on the quality of life of the individual.
