Santrauka:
Baigiamąjį bakalaurinį darbą sudaro dvi dalys. Pirmoji – teorinė dalis skirta literatūros analizei, antroji – empirinio tyrimo darbo metodui ir organizavimui. Darbo tikslas: atskleisti profilaktinių krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimų svarbą. Darbo uždaviniai: 1. Aprašyti krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimą bei profilaktinių sveikatos tikrinimų tvarką. 2. Įvertinti pacientų žinias apie profilaktinį krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimą. 3. Identifikuoti 2018 m. X poliklinikoje profilaktinių krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimų metu aptiktas patologijas. Išvados: 1. Krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimas suteikia daug informacijos apie paciento plaučių būklę, todėl šis tyrimas yra skiriamas profilaktinio sveikatos tikrinimo metu siekiant užkirsti kelią žmonių sergamumui ir mirštamumui. 2. Didžioji dalis apklaustųjų supranta profilaktinio krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimo svarbą, tačiau tik trečdalis respondentų atliktų šį tyrimą, jei jis nebūtų privalomas. 3. 2018 m. X poliklinikoje atliktų profilaktinių krūtinės ląstos rentgeno tyrimų metu dešimtadalyje aptiktos patologijos: pneumonija, bronchitas, per šį laikotarpį aptiktas ir vienas tuberkuliozės atvejis
