Ebook Bariatric Surgery And Health-Related Quality Of Life
Obesity is “the major emerging threat to public health in Europe” (Byrne, 2003). Different conservative methods like diets or new drugs are ineffective treatments for morbid obesity or severe obesity, which is defined as two times or more than normal weight. Bariatric Surgery or Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) is the only effective method, which can help these people reduce weight and it improves their health condition determined by obesity-related health conditions, improves the quality of life and gives these patients a higher chance to survive (Suter et al, 2005).
The nurse should be able to satisfy the patients’ basic and specific care and nursing needs, they should have the ability to apply knowledge in nursing, medicine, or rehabilitating (SOS, 2005). This is why the nurse should accumulate advanced knowledge on patients’ perception of health-related quality of life.
The word obesity in Latin means overeat; the word barros in Greek means large or heavy and the word bariatric means being overweight or obese (Voelker et al, 2004). Expressions like bariatric surgery, bariatric patient, and weight loss surgery or weight loss patient are actually used in practice and in the literature. Thus, this literature review focuses on patients’ perception of health-related quality of life after bariatric surgery.
