Goal of research: to study the level of awareness of patients undergoing sanatorium-and-spa treatment about metabolic syndrome, methods of its prevention by means of lifestyle changes and the role of nurses in patients’ training on metabolic syndrome prevention. Materials and methods. 100 patients who were undergoing treatment at the Ružbachy Cherry Resort were anonymously interviewed with the use of the original questionnaire. The issue of the questionnaire consisted of a block of questions on the metabolic syndrome and block of issues relating to the lifestyle of the respondents.
Results. When creating the design of the study, 7 hypotheses were set which were verified through a questionnaire. 100 patients were interviewed, including 49 males and 51 women. The average age of respondents was 40 years. When processing data from the questionnaire, we found that 56% of respondents said they could not calculate their body mass index. According to our findings, most respondents are overweight or obese and unable to determine whether they have overweight or obese. It can be noted for sure that according to the answers received, patients with higher education pay more attention to physical training and sports, both active and entertaining. Patients with higher education are more likely to eat healthy foods compared to patients with other education levels. Women eat healthier compared to men, their diet is more diverse. It consists of more fruits and vegetables compared to men's diets, in which, on the contrary, meat dishes dominate. More than half of the respondents are ready to receive information on the metabolic syndrome from educational lectures or training materials. In the work we specify the importance of nursing in the prevention of this serious civilization disease and the indispensable role of nurses in training the patients.
Conclusions. Education is one of the non-pharmacological ways of influencing the patient and his family in the context of secondary prophylaxis and is an important part of the patient's overall treatment. This is a process that affects their behavior. This allows us to make changes in the knowledge, relationships and skills necessary to strengthen, protect and develop the health of patients. This is an important part of all nursing activities.
