Abstract

Multipla skleroza (MS) je kronična, vnetna in avtoimunska bolezen osrednjega živčnega sistema (OŽS), ki se najpogosteje pojavi pri mladih ženskah med 20. in 45. letom starosti. Vzroki za nastanek MS še niso znani, vemo pa, da se MS povezuje z določenimi dejavniki tveganja, kot so različni prehranski dejavniki, okužba z virusom Epstein-Barr (EBV) in kajenje. V magistrskem delu smo želeli ugotoviti, kakšno je prehransko vedenje bolnikov z MS in kakšna so njihova stališča o vplivu prehrane na MS. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 226 bolnikov z MS. Podatke smo pridobili z vprašalnikom, ki so ga bolniki izpolnili ob rednem nevrološkem pregledu na Nevrološki kliniki Univerzitetnega kliničnega centra Ljubljana ali pa so vprašalnik ki je bil objavljen na spletni strani, izpolnili v elektronski obliki,. Ugotovili smo, da je s ciljem izboljšanja svojega zdravstvenega stanja, povezanega z MS, polovica preiskovanih bolnikov (50,0 %) z MS po postavitvi diagnoze spremenila svoje prehranske navade. Ocenjujemo, da imajo bolniki pomanjkljivo znanje o prehrani in slabše stališče do prehrane, kar se posledično odraža tudi na njihovem vzorcu prehranjevanja. Glede na rezultate ocenjujemo, da bi morali bolniki z MS povečati pogostost uživanja omega-3 maščobnih kislin, predvsem eikozapentaenojske kisline (EPK) in dokozaheksaenojske kisline (DHK), povečati vnos prebiotikov, probiotikov, sadja in zelenjave ter zamenjati enostavne ogljikove hidrate s kompleksnimi. Ustrezna prehrana je za bolnike z MS zalo pomembna, zato menimo, da bi bilo koristno v zdravljenje vključiti prehransko obravnavo in svetovanje, kar bi izboljšalo prehransko znanje in vedenje bolnikov z MS in jih spodbudilo k oblikovanju prehranskih navad, ki bi prispevale h krepitvi njihovega zdravja.

Secondary title: Dietary behaviors of patients with multiple sclerosis
Secondary abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory and autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that most commonly occurs in young women between the ages of 20 and 45 years. The causes of MS are not yet known, but certain risk factors are, such as various dietary factors, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and smoking. In this Master's Thesis, we wanted to find out the dietary behaviors of patients with MS and discover their attitude and understanding about the impact of the diet on the disease itself. The study involved 226 patients with MS. The data was collected using the questionnaire that has been filled by the patients who took part in regular checkups at the Neurology Clinic of the University Medical Center Ljubljana, as well as patients who were reached electronically. We note that the half (50,0 %) of our sample of patients with MS, has changed their dietary habits after receiving the MS diagnosis, in order to improve their MS health condition. We conclude that patients have limited knowledge and a poorer perspective about their diet, which consequently is evident from their eating habits. Based on the study results, we recommend the patients to increase the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), prebiotics, probiotics, fruit and vegetables, and to replace simple carbohydrates with complex. Adequate nutrition is essential for patients with MS, hence we believe it is important to include dietary analysis and consulting, with the aim to improve patients’ knowledge about nutrition and motivate them to shape positive dietary habits, as part of their health improvement process.
