Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Public Health, Note: 1, Fachhochschule Burgenland, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit setzt sich mit dem aktiven Beckenbodentraining bei Stuhlinkontinenz auseinander. Das Ziel ist herauszufinden, für welche Personengruppen ein Beckenbodentraining gegen Stuhlinkontinenz hilfreich ist. Daraus ergibt sich die folgende Forschungsfrage: Bei welchen Patientinnen und Patienten ist ein aktives Beckenbodentraining bei Stuhlinkontinenz indiziert und wirkungsvoll?Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist es, die Grundlage der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse durch kurative Kompetenzen zur Förderung der Gesundheit und Aufrechterhaltung der höchstmöglichen Lebensqualität, auch aus pflegerischer Sicht, beizutragen. Die anale Palpation kann von Ärzten übertragen werden und somit unter anderem vom Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegepersonal durchgeführt werden. Eine Behandlungskontinuität kann durch die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit gewährleistet werden.Geschätzt 800.000 Personen leiden in Österreich an Stuhlinkontinenz, auch anale oder fäkale Inkontinenz genannt. Die Stuhlinkontinenz wird als unfreiwilliger Abgang von flüssigem oder festem Stuhl, die Analinkontinenz als unwillentlichem Abgang von Gas mit oder ohne Stuhl definiert. Die Anal- beziehungsweise Stuhlinkontinenz ist ein Symptom und keine Diagnose und weiterhin ein Tabuthema, welches einfühlsam in der Anamneseerhebung speziell erfragt werden sollte.

The inside story of how Big Pharma's relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge?misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries?yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.In this no-holds-barred exposé, Dr. John Abramson?one of the foremost experts on the drug industry's deceptive tactics?combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. For example, one of pharma's best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care?and presents a path toward genuine reform.
