Abstract

Uvod: Onesnažen zrak je najpomembnejša javnozdravstvena težava, povezana z onesnaževanjem okolja. V Evropi je povišanim vrednostim prašnih delcev, ozona, dušikovih oksidov in benzena v zunanjem zraku izpostavljenih okoli 90 odstotkov prebivalcev v mestih. Onesnažen zrak je lahko dejavnik tveganja številnih obolenj, kot so bolezni srca in ožilja, bolezni dihal, presnovne bolezni in bolezni živčevja. Po ocenah Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije zaradi izpostavljenosti onesnaženemu zraku vsako leto umre okoli 4,2 milijona ljudi. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je ugotoviti, kako onesnaženost zraka vpliva kot dejavnik tveganja na razvoj določenih bolezni in kako vpliva na zdravje ogroženih skupin ljudi. Namen diplomskega dela je prav tako opredeliti vlogo medicinske sestre pri obravnavanju ogroženih skupin ljudi na preventivni ravni z vidika varovanja zdravja. Metode dela: Diplomsko delo je napisano na podlagi pregleda slovenske in tuje literature. Slovenski in tuje članke smo pridobili iz podatkovnih baz ScienceDirect, PubMed/Medline, oddaljenim dostopom Digitalne knjižnice Univerze v Ljubljani (DiKUL). Pregledanih je bilo 85 člankov, z izključitvenimi kriteriji jih je bilo po prebranih izvlečkih izključenih 65. Skupno je bilo v diplomskem delu uporabljenih 20 člankov. Rezultati: Onesnažen zrak vsebuje prašne delce, črni ogljik, ozon, ogljikov monoksid, žveplov dioksid, dušikov dioksid, azbest, benzen in radon. Razprava in zaključek: Avtorji večine navedenih raziskav poročajo o pozitivni in statistično značilni povezanosti med izpostavljenostjo prašnim delcem, črnemu ogljiku, ozonu, ogljikovemu monoksidu, žveplovemu dioksidu, dušikovemu dioksidu ter drugimi onesnaževali v zunanjem zraku in boleznimi dihal, boleznimi obtočil, nevrološkimi boleznimi ter presnovnimi boleznimi. Najbolj ogroženi so bolniki z boleznimi dihal, srca in ožilja, sladkorni bolniki, starejši, otroci in nosečnice. Ugotovili smo, da so medicinske sestre pomemben člen v verigi ozaveščanja ljudi in da lahko zmanjšanje vpliva onesnaženega zraka na zdravje bolnikov dosežemo le na dva načina: s prizadevanji za odstranitev oziroma zmanjšanje dejavnika tveganja iz okolja ali prizadevanji za zmanjšanje izpostavljenosti.

Secondary title: ǂThe ǂimpact of air pollution on risk groups and the role of a nurse
Secondary abstract: Introduction: Polluted air is the most important public health problem associated with environmental pollution. In Europe, around 90 percent of urban dwellers are exposed to excessive levels of dust particles, nitrogen oxides, ozone and benzene in the outdoor air. Polluted air can be a risk factor for many diseases, such as heart disease, respiratory diseases, metabolic diseases and nervous system diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 4.2 million people die each year from polluted air exposure. Purpose: The purpose of this diploma work is to determine how air pollution mediates as a risk factor for the development of certain diseases and how it affects the health of vulnerable groups of people. It also defines the role of a nurse in treating vulnerable groups of people at the preventive level from the point of view of health protection. Methods: The diploma thesis is written on the basis of a review of Slovenian and foreign literature. Slovenian and foreign articles were obtained from ScienceDirect, PubMed/Medline databases and remote access to the Digital Library of the University of Ljubljana (DiKUL). I reviewed 85 articles with the exclusion criteria and therefore excluded 65 of them according to their abstracts. A total of 20 articles were used in the diploma work. Results: Polluted air includes dust particles, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, asbestos, benzene and radon. Discussion and conclusion: The authors of most of these studies report a positive and statistically significant association between exposure to dust particles, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and other pollutants in ambient air and respiratory diseases, circulatory diseases, neurological diseases and metabolic diseases. Patients with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, diabetics, the elderly, children and pregnant women are most at risk. We have found that a nurse is an important link in the human awareness chain and that reducing the impact of polluted air on patients' health can only be achieved in two ways: by striving to remove or reduce the risk factor from the environment or by reducing exposure.
