Abstrakt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is one of the most serious neurodegenerative
diseases. It is a primary degenerative disease of the nervous system with a progressive
course. ALS is a disease of unknown aetiology. For patients and families,
the greatest cruelty of this disease is the fact that as it progresses, muscle atrophy
and paresis occur. In the advanced stage, the sufferer is completely immobilised,
unable to move despite full mental capacity and awareness. Although the disease
is incurable, many of its symptoms can be alleviated, and the goal of therapy
should be to improve the quality of life and maintain the patient’s independence
for as long as possible.
The aim of this study is to develop a model of care for a patient with ALS using
the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®).
The study is based on an individual case study of a patient with ALS. Information
for the development of the nursing model was collected on the basis of
an interview with the patient and her family, observation of the patient, analysis
of medical documentation (patient’s medical history, individual patient’s order
card), laboratory test results, assessment using scales (ALSFRS-R Scale, Barthel
Index, Norton Scale), and measurements (blood pressure, pulse, temperature,
and saturation). According to the model of individual nursing care, nursing diagnoses
were made in accordance with the assumptions of the ICNP®, goals of care,
planned nursing interventions and assessment of nursing care. This chapter aims
to recognise the main health problems faced by the patient and her family. The
nursing actions taken facilitated the care of the patient and improved the quality
of her life that of her family.
