Abstract

Kvaliteta življenja je subjektivna zaznava posameznika o počutju in doživljanju svojega življenja v določenem življenjskem obdobju. Torej kvaliteta življenja ni nekaj stalnega, temveč se spreminja, saj nanjo vplivajo raznoliki dejavniki. Ko se dobro počutimo, povemo, da je naša kvaliteta življenja dobra. Ob pojavu bolezni pa moramo življenje prilagoditi novim razmeram. Lahko se zgodi, da ne zmoremo več uživati v dejavnostih, ki nas veselijo, postanemo manj samostojni, imamo težave pri opravljanju vsakodnevnih aktivnosti, počutimo se osamljene in kvaliteta življenja se poslabša. Starejšo populacijo, po petinšestdesetem letu, pogosteje prizadene Parkinsonova bolezen. Gre za nevrodegenerativno bolezen, ki napade živčne celice, predvsem glede gibanja. Bolezen je napredujoča in z njenim potekom je posameznik vedno bolj odvisen od pomoči in podpore partnerja, sorodnikov, prijateljev in drugih. Bolezen posameznika ovira pri vsakodnevni dejavnosti. Pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju gibalnih in miselnih funkcij ter upočasnitvi napredovanja bolezni ima, poleg rednega jemanja zdravil, tudi gibalna dejavnost. Posamezniki se vključujejo v raznovrstne oblike športov (pilates, joga, ples ipd.), ki so prilagojeni zmožnostim oseb s Parkinsonovo boleznijo. Med športe, ki so primerni za osebe s Parkinsonovo boleznijo, pa sodi tudi namizni tenis. V magistrskem delu smo želeli s kvantitativno raziskavo ugotoviti, kakšna je kvaliteta življenja oseb s Parkinsonovo boleznijo. Zanimalo nas je ali obstaja statistično pomembna razlika v kvaliteti življenja znotraj eksperimentalne skupine po petmesečni vadbi namiznega tenisa, ali bodo udeleženci vadbe bolje ocenili kvaliteto življenja po petmesečnem programu vadbe namiznega tenisa in ali obstajajo statistično pomembne razlike znotraj kontrolne skupine po obdobju petih mesecev. To smo ocenili z uporabo vprašalnika o kvaliteti življenja oseb s Parkinsonovo boleznijo (PDQ-39). Ugotovili smo, da so se znotraj eksperimentalne skupine vsa področja kvalitete življenja, glede na vprašalnik PDQ-39, izboljšala, statistično pomembna razlika v aritmetični sredini pa se je izkazala na področju aktivnosti vsakodnevnega življenja in v čustvenem blagostanju. Izboljšanje na omenjenih področjih se je izkazalo kot statistično pomembno. Znotraj kontrolne skupine pa se je kvaliteta življenja na vseh področjih poslabšala, statistično pomembna razlika v aritmetični sredini pa se je izkazala le pri telesnem nelagodju, torej je poslabšanje telesnega nelagodja znotraj kontrolne skupine statistično pomembno. Izsledki naše raziskave kažejo v prid vadbe namiznega tenisa za osebe s Parkinsonovo boleznijo z namenom izboljšanja kvalitete življenja, ob nevključenosti v vadbo namiznega tenisa pa se je kvaliteta življenja na vseh področjih poslabšala.

Secondary title: Quality od life of people with Parkinson's disease when participating in table tennis
Secondary abstract: Quality of life is a subjective perception of an individual’s well-being and an individual’s experience of life in a certain life period. Therefore the quality of life is not something constant but it’s changing all the time due to various factors. When we are feeling good we say that our quality of life is good. However, when a disease occurs, for example, we need to adapt our lives to new circumstances. It may happen that we can no longer enjoy the activities that give us joy, we become less independent, we experience difficulties completing everyday activities, we feel lonely and our quality of life deteriorates. People over 45 years of age are more likely to be affected by Parkinson's disease. This is a neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells, especially those responsible for movement. It is a progressive disease that makes a person more and more dependent on the help and support of his or her spouse, family members, friends, and others. The disease impedes individuals in everyday activities. Besides the regular use of prescribed medicine, physical activity also plays an important role in slowing down the progression of the disease and also maintaining movement and cognitive functions. That is why individuals participate in various forms of sports (pilates, yoga, dance, etc.) that are adapted to the capabilities of people with Parkinson's disease. Table tennis is also one of the sports that are suitable for people with Parkinson's disease. In this master's thesis, we wanted to find out what is the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease. We have done this with quantitative research. We were interested in whether there is a statistically significant difference in the quality of life in the experimental group after exercising table tennis for the period of five months, if exercise participants will better assess their quality of life after the five months program of exercising table tennis and whether there are statistically significant differences in the quality of life in the control group after the period of five months. We assessed this with the use of a questionnaire for the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease (PDQ-39). Based on this questionnaire we found out that in the experimental group all areas of quality of life have improved and a statistically significant difference has been shown in the arithmetic mean in the area of everyday life activities and emotional well-being. The improvement in the mentioned areas has proven to be statistically significant. While in the control group the quality of life has deteriorated in all areas. A statistically significant difference in the arithmetic mean has shown only in the physical discomfort, therefore the deterioration in the physical discomfort in the control group is statistically significant. The results of our research are in favor of exercising table tennis as a way to improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease. On the other hand, by not including exercising table tennis the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease has deteriorated in all areas.
