Composition of breast milk in women on a low-carbohydrate diet: a report of two cases
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Tułacz, Kinga; Parol-Ostręga, Natalia; Jabłońska, Anna; Rozensztrauch, Anna
There is no clear definition of low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs). What LCDs have
in common, however, is that they restrict the intake of carbohydrates relative to
standard recommended diets. Breast milk is the best form of nutrition for newborns
and infants. This study reports two cases of women who followed a LCD
while breastfeeding. The breast milk sample collected from patient 1 eighteen
days after the introduction of a LCD had a fat content of 2.7 g/dL, whereas the
breast milk sample collected from the patient fifty days after the introduction
of the diet had a fat content of 2.9 g/dL. Both the samples had a protein content
of 1.3 g/dL and a carbohydrate content of 7.9 g/dL. The breast milk sample
collected from patient 2 had a fat content of 3.5 g/dL, protein content of 1.9 g/dL,
carbohydrate content of 8.2 g/dL and calorie content of 73 kcal/dL. The samples
of breast milk collected from patients on a LCD contained higher protein levels.
Breastfeeding women are particularly at risk of the negative consequences of dietary
mistakes.
The relationship between self-efficacy and health behaviours and the level of knowledge of breast cancer prevention among professional nurses
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Seń, Mariola; Trybała, Katarzyna; Stołkowska, Alicja; Klisowska, Iwona
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Poland.
It develops slowly, very often without any symptoms for a long time. The key
element in the prevention of breast cancer, which affects the rate of incidence, is
women’s knowledge of the disease and participation in screening tests.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between the prevalence
and intensity of health behaviours and self-efficacy and the level of
knowledge about breast cancer prevention in a group of professional nurses.
Material and methods: The study involved 125 nurses employed at the St. John
Paul II Hospital in Krakow. Standardised tools were used in the study: Generalized
Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Health Behavior Inventory (HBI) and a self-designed
questionnaire assessing knowledge about breast cancer prevention.
Results: Nurses with higher education presented a higher level of knowledge
regarding breast cancer prevention. Women with a high intensity of health behaviours
in the preventive domain showed a better knowledge of breast cancer
topics. Similarly, nurses characterised by a strong sense of self-efficacy presented
a higher level of knowledge in this area.
Conclusions: Almost half of the nurses surveyed presented a good level of
knowledge about breast cancer prevention. The severity of health behaviours
was rated as average, slightly higher in preventive behaviours and lower in
terms of health practices. The stronger the sense of self-efficacy, the higher the
level of knowledge and the higher the intensity of health behaviours.
Nursing care of a patient with hormonally inactive pituitary macroadenoma
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Klisowska, Iwona; Bombska, Aleksandra; Salik, Katarzyna; Felińczak, Anna; Seń, Mariola
Pituitary tumours are slow-growing benign neoplasms that account for approximately
15% of all intracranial tumours. The diagnosis of pituitary tumours includes
clinical signs and neuroimaging studies. This case report concerns a woman,
now 71 years old, who was first hospitalised for increasing headaches and
vomiting at the age of 38. A diagnosis of meningeal syndrome and destruction
of the saddle of Turkey was made. The first operation to remove the pituitary
macroadenoma via the transsphenoidal route took place fifteen years after diagnosis
and, due to regrowth of the inactive pituitary adenoma, reoperation was
performed twice after a further five years. The last surgery was complicated by paralysis
of the right peroneal nerve and paralysis of the adductor nerve on the left
side. The implementation of nursing care is based on the application of measures
aimed at reducing discomfort, eliminating possible complications, increasing the
patient’s level of independence, providing education and counselling on lifestyle
changes, and coping with the limitations imposed by the disease.
Model of nursing care for a patient after thyroid cancer dissemination and metastasis of papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma according to the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®)
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Bańdo, Marcelina; Bakalarz, Renata
Thyroid cancer is a malignant neoplasm derived from the follicular cells of the
thyroid gland, in addition to medullary carcinoma, which arises from neuroendocrine
C cells. The last thirty years have seen a sharp increase in thyroid cancer
cases.
The purpose of this study is to present a model of nursing care according
to the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for a 77-year-old
patient after thyroid cancer dissemination and metastasis of papillary and follicular
carcinoma. The patient required a right parietal-occipital craniectomy and
Grunenwald incision, excision of the lesion with resection of the trachea, with
excision of the left internal jugular vein, plasty of both the left venous angle and
the outlet of the lowest thyroid vein to the left brachiocephalic vein, as well as
drainage of the left pleural cavity. Medical records, a patient interview, a patient
family interview, and assessment using scales were analysed: the VAS Scale, the
life satisfaction scale and cancer adjustment questionnaire. The onset of cancer
completely changes the functioning and life of the patient as well as of his/her
family and loved ones, which is why family education and emotional support
are so important. The ICNP® is a significant facilitator in the development of the
nursing process and is also a facilitator of communication between nursing staff
from around the world.
The level of acceptance of the disease and the quality of life of patients with Parkinson’s disease
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Stołkowska, Alicja; Lech-Brytan, Marzena; Seń, Mariola
Introduction: More and more cases of Parkinson’s disease are diagnosed each
year. Currently, nearly 6 million people suffer from it. Those affected by the disease
are forced to make changes in many areas of their lives.
Aim: The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between the assessment
of the level of acceptance of the disease and the quality of life of patients with
Parkinson’s disease.
Material and methods: The study included 108 people with Parkinson’s disease.
The research tool was a self-administered survey questionnaire and questionnaires:
WHOQOL-BREF and Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS).
Results: Respondents experienced communication problems, fewer friends and
social withdrawal. A large percentage of patients have problems related to sleep
disorders, mood swings and depressive disorders. More than 60% of respondents
were dissatisfied with their quality of life and health. The level of acceptance of the
disease was low (AIS: 16.81).
Conclusions: Parkinson’s disease negatively affects every sphere of life. The level
of acceptance of the disease and quality of life were at a low level and independent
of the duration of the disease. There is no connection between quality of life
and the degree of acceptance of the disease.
