Oprešnik, Karmen (author), Mlinar, Suzana (mentor), Mihelič Zajec, Andreja (reviewer)

Uvod: Endometrioza je kronična, od estrogena odvisna bolezen, ki povzroči tvorjenje in rast endometrijskega tkiva izven maternične votline. To lahko povzroči resne zdravstvene težave, kot so zmerne do hude bolečine in neplodnost. Veliko žensk z endometriozo trpi zaradi kronične bolečine. Povzroči lahko tudi stres in strah, ki pa lahko vodita v anksioznost in depresijo. Pozna diagnoza lahko povzroči stalne ali ponavljajoče simptome bolezni, ki negativno vplivajo na zdravje in kakovost življenja žensk z endometriozo. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je opredeliti in opisati endometriozo ter raziskati, kakšna je kakovost življenja žensk z endometriozo. Metode dela: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda dela s pregledom strokovne in znanstvene literature s področja endometrioze in kakovosti življenja žensk z endometriozo. Za iskanje literature smo uporabili podatkovne baze Medline in CHINAL ter iskalnika PubMed in COBISS.si.. Iskanje relevantne literature je potekalo od novembra 2013 do marca 2023. Rezultati: Endometrioza je ginekološko obolenje, ki povprečno prizadene 10 % žensk. Največji problem endometrioze je bolečina, njena intenzivnost in pogostost pojavljanja. Kronična medenična bolečina in dismenoreja najpogosteje povzročata znižanje kakovosti življenja na področju spolnosti, vzpostavljanju in vzdrževanju socialnih stikov in izvajanju dnevnih opravil ter dejavnosti. Kronična bolečina pogosto negativno vpliva na akademski, socialni, poklicni, ekonomski, psihološki, fizični in telesni vidik žensk ter povzroča negativne posledice tudi na duševnem zdravju žensk. Sprejemanje bolečine in bolezni pripomore k boljši kakovosti življenja žensk z endometriozo. Razprava in zaključek: Simptomi endometrioze, predvsem bolečina, negativno vplivajo na poklicno, socialno, duševno in telesno delovanje in zdravje žensk. Bolečina močno negativno vpliva na kakovost življenja, vsakodnevne dejavnosti in spolnost. Zato je potrebna zgodnja celostna obravnava, zgodnje diagnosticiranje in zdravljenje bolezni, za doseganje izboljšanja kakovosti življenja žensk z endometriozo.
