Abstract Osteoporoza se po svojim karakteristikama svrstava u reumatologiju, a to je grana medicine koja proučava upale, autoimune i degenerativne bolesti lokomotornog sustava. Daljnjom podjelom osteoporoza spada u metabolički reumatizam. Osteoporoza je kronična, sistemska, progresivna bolest koštanog sustava, karakterizirana je smanjenom gustoćom kosti što uzrokuje povećanu lomljivost kosti i sklonost prijelomu na minimalnu traumu. Najčešće pogađa kralješnicu, a ona je stup našeg tijela. Glavni uzrok smanjenja gustoće kostiju je smanjena količina kalcija koji osigurava čvrstoću kosti. Ta bolest je jedan od glavnih razloga invaliditeta starije populacije. Osteoporoza se prepoznaje po bolovima u donjem dijelu leđa, gubitku na visini i pogrbljenost. Sa sigurnošću se bolest dokazuje RTG snimkom. Osteoporoza također može pratiti i druge bolesti kao što su ankilozantni spondilitis i reumatoidni artritis. Da bi se ta bolest spriječila ili u kasnije usporila potrebna je dovoljna fizička aktivnost, dovoljan unos vitamina D, dovoljno izlaganje Suncu, smanjeno konzumiranje alkohola i prestanak pušenja. Faktori rizika kod te bolesti su: prehrana, smanjena tjelovježba, depresija, lijekovi, cigarete, nedovoljna tjelesna masa te genetski faktori. Medicinska sestra/tehničar ima važnu ulogu u prevenciji i liječenju osteoporoze jer kroz svoju profesiju u različitim situacijama može aktivno sudjelovati u timu kao bitna karika. One su svakodnevno uz pacijenta i na taj način iz razgovora s pacijentom otkrivaju i dijagnozu osteoporoze ili osteopenije. Odmah daju pacijentu upute u vezi općeg liječenja i kako se to odnosi na osteoporozu. Savjetuju pacijente o rizičnim čimbenicima, najvažnijoj prevenciji i mogućem liječenju u svezi sa stanjem pacijenta. Kod prevencija potrebno je obratiti pažnju na prehranu, a posebno na kalcij te vježbanje. Liječiti se može lijekovima te fizikalnom terapijom. Na kraju rada nalazi se prikaz slučaja koji kroz dijagnoze, simptome, liječenje i razgovor predstavlja realnu sliku osteoporoze.
Abstract (english) By its characteristics osteoporosis is part of the rheumatology, a branch of medicine dealing with inflammations, autoimmune and degenerative diseases of the locomotor system. Osteoporosis is part of the metabolic rheumatism. This is a chronic, systematic and progressive disease of the skeletal system. Its main characteristic is a low bone density which leads to increased bone fractures and tendency to fractures when traumatised with minimal strength. Mostly, it affects our spine which is the pillar of our body. A lower bone density happens when the bone lacks calcium that insures the bone strength. This disease is one of the main causes of disability among the older population. It manifests through the lower back pain, height loss and slouch. The disease is diagnosed by RTG. Osteoporosis can come along with other diseases like ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis. To prevent this disease or to slower it down, it is recommended to be physically active, to intake vitamin D, to be outside in the Sun, decrease the amount of intaken alcohol and to stop smoking. The factors of risk are: diet, not enough of physical activity, depression, other medicines, cigarettes, genetics and low weight. A nurse has a great role in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis because he/she can actively participate in many important situations as part of the team. The nurse is there with the patient on the daily basis and he/she can diagnose the osteoporosis or osteopenia through the conversation. He/she gives the patient all the information dealing with the treatment of the osteoporosis. He/she warn the patients about the risks, tell them all about prevention and possible treatment according to the patient’s state. When talking about the prevention it is important to take care about the diet, specially calcium and exercises. It can be treated with medicines and physical therapy. In the ned of this paper, there is an example of one case through diagnoses, symptoms, treatment and conversation which represent the real picture of the osteoporosis.
