Abstract

Percepciju bolesti i farmakoterapije u bolesnika s kroničnim bolestima možemo opisati kao
individualnu spoznaju, koja je definirana kao emocionalan doživljaj vlastitog stanja, zdravlja ili
bolesti koji onda utječe na bolesnikov život u sklopu tog stanja. Dosadašnja istraživanja
bolesnikove percepcije bolesti i terapije ukazala su na njen značajan utjecaj na ishod terapije.
Cilj ovog rada bio je kvalitativnom metodom problemski usmjerenog (dubinskog)
polustrukturiranog intervjua istražiti bolesnikovu percepciju bolesti i terapije na uzorku bolesnika
koji boluju od neke kronične bolesti te proučiti eventualne razlike u percepciji između ispitanih
pojedinaca ovisno o njihovim karakteristikama.
Rezultati istraživanja dovode do zaključka da stav bolesnika prema bolesti i terapiji ovisi o nizu
čimbenika koji određuju bolesnikove pozitivne ili negativne obrasce ponašanja i doživljavanja
bolesti i farmakoterapije. Može se pretpostaviti da prethodni stav bolesnika, obrazovanje
bolesnika, dob bolesnika, razumijevanje bolesti, sklonost bolesnika pozitivnom odnosno
negativnom načinu razmišljanja, način na koji se bolest manifestira i način na koji se bolest uklapa
u život bolesnika imaju važan utjecaj na stvaranje bolesnikove percepcije o njegovoj bolesti i
farmakoterapiji. Svaki bolesnik uključen u istraživanje imao je određenu ideju o svojoj bolesti i
vlastitu priču koja nije jednostavna i ne poklapa se s pričom ostalih bolesnika. Stoga je izrazito
bitno da zdravstveni djelatnik stvori odnos s bolesnikom koji se temelji na povjerenju, poštovanju,
autentičnosti, empatiji i privrženosti, a fokusira se na cijelu osobu jer bolest utječe na svaki aspekt
života bolesnika što rezultira jedinstvenom percepcijom bolesti i farmakoterapije.

Abstract (english)

Perception of the disease and pharmacotherapy in patients with chronic diseases can be described
as individual knowledge, which is defined as the emotional experience of the state of health or
disease, which affects the patient's life as a part of this state. Previous studies of the patient's
perception of the disease and therapy indicated to its significant impact on the outcome of therapy.
The aim of this study was to explore with a qualitative method problem-focused (depth) semistructured
interview the patient's perception of the disease and therapy in a sample of patients who
have chronic diseases and to study possible differences in perception between the surveyed
individuals depending on their characteristics.
The research results lead to the conclusion that the attitude of patients towards disease and the
treatment depends on a number of factors that determine the patient's positive or negative patterns
of behavior and experience of the disease and pharmacotherapy. It can be assumed that the
previous attitude of patients, patient education, patient age, understanding of disease, the tendency
of patients positive or negative way of thinking, the way the disease manifests itself and the way in
which the disease fits the patient's life have a significant impact on making the patient's perception
of his disease and pharmacotherapy. Each patient included in the study had a specific idea about
his disease and his own story, which is not easy and is not consistent with the story the other
patients. Therefore, it is extremely important to create a health professional relationship with the
patient based on trust, respect, authenticity, empathy and attachment and it focuses on the whole
person because the disease affects every aspect of persons life, resulting in a unique perception of
the disease and pharmacotherapy.
