Košnjek, Martina (author), Zaletel, Marija (mentor), Zorec, Silvia (co-mentor)

Uvod: Virusne okužbe osrednjega živčevja predstavljajo pomemben javnozdravstveni problem, saj veliko ljudi, ki prebolijo herpetični encefalitis, ostane s trajnimi, predvsem nevrološkimi posledicami. Pri otrocih in mladostnikih, ki so te okužbe preboleli, se pogosto kažejo z različno težkimi motnjami v duševnem in telesnem razvoju. Za osebe z najtežjo motnjo v duševnem in telesnem razvoju je značilno, da so nezmožne samostojnega izvajanja vseh življenjskih aktivnosti. Zaradi tega so vključene v intenzivno zdravstveno nego, kjer je potrebno neprekinjeno 24-urno spremljanje in zadovoljevanje vseh njihovih potreb. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti kompleksnost zdravstvene nege osebe, ki so ji ostale trajne posledice po prebolelem herpetičnem encefalitisu, pri čemer je izpostavljena vloga medicinske sestre kot nosilke zdravstvene nege v Centru za usposabljanje, delo in varstvo Dolfke Boštjančič, Draga. Metode dela: Pri izdelavi diplomskega dela je uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela. V diplomskem delu je predstavljen primer osebe, ki je prebolela herpetični encefalitis s trajnimi posledicami. Njeno stanje je ocenjeno po 10-ih temeljnih življenjskih potrebah Virginie Henderson. Razprava in zaključek: Zdravstvena nega oseb z najtežjo motnjo v duševnem in telesnem razvoju je zelo zahtevna. Potrebno je dosledno upoštevanje standardov zdravstvene nege, saj je od njih odvisna raven kakovosti življenja. Medicinska sestra je pri tem aktivno vključena v proces zdravstvene nege in je za vse aktivnosti, ki jih prevzema, tudi odgovorna.

In children and adolescents who have recovered from these infections they are often shown on different levels of severity. People with the most severe mental or physical impairments are incapable of functional independence in daily living skills. Thus, they require intensive nursing care, which means 24 hour monitoring and meeting their needs. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to present the complexity of nursing care of an individual who has suffered permanent damage after recovering from herpes simplex encephalitis; the highlight is on the role of a nurse as the provider of nursing care in the Education, Work and Care Centre Dolfka Boštjančič in Draga. Methods: The descriptive research method has been used in the preparation of this thesis.
