Quality of life adolescent with schizophrenia

Diplomsko delo obravnava kakovost življenja mladostnika s shizofrenijo. Predstavljena je zgodovina shizofrenije in dejavniki, ki vplivajo na prepoznavanje vzrokov, simptomov, izvajanje diagnostike danes ter možnosti in naèini zdravljenja ter rehabilitacije danes. Pri vkljuèevanju v vsakodnevno življenje se pri mladostniku pojavljajo številne težave. V diplomskem delu so identificirane potrebe mladostnikov s shizofrenijo, kot so dihanje, hranjenje, izloèanje, odvajanje in druge. Obravnavane so ovire (ki vplivajo na socialno in delovno prilagojenost, bolezenske ovire ali ovire, ki so odraz njegove slabe prilagodljivosti), s katerimi se sreèujejo bolniki s shizofrenijo ter pomoè, ki jo pri tem nudi medicinska sestra in zdravstveno osebje. Na podlagi rezultatov študije primera lahko potrdimo, da je kakovost življenja mladostnice s shizofrenijo bistveno manjša, kot je bila pred izbruhom bolezni. Prav tako študija kaže kljuène dejavnike, ki vplivajo na vkljuèevanje mladostnice v socialno okolje, to so paranoidne misli, utrujenost, vrtoglavica, izèrpanost, obèutek odrinjenosti in neenakosti v družbi. Izsledki raziskave so pokazali, da se mladostnica lahko vkljuèuje v vsakodnevno življenje in družbo le deloma, saj družba bolnikov s tovrstno boleznijo, tistih, ki jim zdravstveno stanje to dopušèa, še vedno ne zna integrirati v delovno in socialno okolje.The final thesis deals with the quality of life of youths with schizophrenia. We have presented the history of schizophrenia and the factors influencing the causes, symptoms, current execution of diagnostics and the possibilities and ways of treatment as well as rehabilitation applied today. Numerous problems occur when a youth needs to integrate in everyday life. The thesis identifies the needs of the youths with schizophrenia, such as breathing, feeding, excreting and other needs. We also deal with the obstacles (which influence social and working ability to adapt, obstacles related to the illness and obstacles which are the reflection of an individual\u27s inability of adapting) which the patients suffering from schizophrenia come across and the help offered to them by nurses and medical staff. On the basis of the results acquired by the study of this case, we can confirm the fact that the quality of life of a youth with schizophrenia has considerably worsened compared to the time before the disease broke out. The study also points out the key factors influencing the inclusions of a youth in the social environment, namely paranoid thoughts, weariness, vertigo, exhaustion, the feeling of being left out and having an unequal position in the society. The results of the research have shown that a youth with schizophrenia can be included in everyday life and the society only partially. This is due to the fact that the society still does not know how to integrate people with this disease into working and social environment, even if their medical condition still enables it
