    Awareness among nursing students about care for children with type 1 diabetes
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-04-25) Ławnik, Anna ; Pańczuk, Anna ; Kubińska, Zofia
    Background. Diabetes, due to its prevalence and the rapid increase in the number of new incidences, has been recognized as an epidemic of the 21st century. It is estimated that over 3 million people in Poland currently suffer from this disease. According to the Ministry of Health, the knowledge of the society about diabetes is too little and insufficient. The aim of the study was to investigate and present general and expert knowledge of nursing students about type 1 diabetes, taking into account the needs of a child and the specialist skills required to care for diabetic children. Material and methods. T he study was conducted among t he students of nursing at Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska. A questionnaire designed by the author was used in this study. Results. T he r espondents r eported t hat t hey p ossess b asic k nowledge a bout t ype 1 diabetes and at the same time are willing to learn more. They recognize that a child with type 1 diabetes requires special support, therefore medical personnel, educators and physical education teachers should have relevant knowledge and skills about care for type 1 diabetic children. Conclusions. T he m ajority o f t he s tudents s urveyed h ad a basic k nowledge a nd s kills enabling them to provide assistance to children with type 1 diabetes and are familiar with their needs. The significance of physical activity in t he life of a child w ith t ype 1 diabetes was known to a lesser extent. The students surveyed are willing to broaden their knowledge about type 1 diabetes.

    Physioprophylaxis of type 1 diabetes in children using physical exercise
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-12-20) Zaworski, Kamil ; Ławnik, Anna ; Kubińska, Zofia ; Shpakou, Andrei
    According to the Physiotherapist Act, physioprophylaxis is an important component of physiotherapy and of the physiotherapist’s professional activities. Physioprophylaxis can be oriented towards practicing healthy lifestyle behaviours, minimizing disease risk factors, or attenuating the consequences of the disease, surgery, and/or disability. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia, i.e. high blood glucose levels. It is caused by the dysfunction or destruction of β cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which are responsible for the production and secretion of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is most common in children and adolescents. According to the 2018 report, 6,400 children aged 0-14 years and about 180,000 people over 14 years old suffer from type 1 diabetes in Poland alone. Physical activity is an important stimulus for optimal physiological development of children and adolescents, and is an important factor in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality. Physical exercise reduces the need for insulin and increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin, so that the daily dose of insulin can be reduced. The Polish Diabetes Association recommends that children with type 1 diabetes should exercise for more than one hour a day in order to reduce the risk of vascular complications associated with the disease. The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of type 1 diabetes physioprophylaxis in children in the form of physical exercise, based on previous literature. The majority of research indicates physical activity has a positive effect on physiological function in children with type 1 diabetes, specifically reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia, high blood glucose level, insulin demand, and premature death.
