RekordThe incidence of allergy to common allergens based on a retrospective analysis(Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-06-16) Czarny-Działak, Małgorzata ; Działak, Magdalena ; Wójcik, Tomasz ; Chmielowiec, Bartłomiej ; Chmielewski, Jarosław PiotrBackground. The aim of this work was to find out which of the aeroallergens most often cause positive skin prick tests in the population with allergic diseases. Depending on the type of allergens, exposure to them can aggravate asthma symptoms and cause allergic conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis. Material and methods. A group of 100 people between 18 and 78 years of age were included in the study. The average age was 45.8 years. There were 34 men and 66 women in the group. All patients were allergy clinic patients. The results of point skin tests for the basic aeroallergen panel were analyzed in this study and summarized using descriptive statistics. Results. Sixty subjects had positive tests for dust mites. Most subjects were allergic to two allergens. Monovalent allergy was found in 10 subjects. Multivalent allergy was predominant, but tended to involve relatively few allergens. Conclusions. The results obtained may be due to year-round exposure to the house dust mite allergen. Prolonged allergen exposure translates into more frequent immune responses and greater clinical response of patients, which is manifested by allergic rhinitis and/or bronchial asthma or allergic conjunctivitis. Due to the small patient population studied, this subject requires further analysis.

RekordStress at work as a health risk factor from the opinion of professionally active nurses(Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-10-05) Dziewisz-Markowska, Edyta ; Chmielewski, Jarosław Piotr ; Czerwiec, Małgorzata ; Fiks, Jarosław ; Markowski, Kamil ; Nowak-Starz, GrażynaBackground. Medical workers, especially nurses, are susceptible to numerous stressful situations, due to the great demands which are a result of the specifics of working with an ill person. The aim of the study was to identify stress factors in nursing work, without taking into account the place of employment (i.e., wards). Material and methods. The study group was made up of a sample of 102 nurses, 15 male and 87 female. The diagnostic poll method and the interview technique were used, and a designed questionnaire was used as the research tool. During statistical analysis, a non-parametric χ2 test was used (p<0.05). Additionally, the strength of the examined relationships was det er m i ned (r p).Results. Work was the main source of stress (44.1%) for the participants. Of the nurses, 39.2% often felt stressed at work, whereas emotional tension was present in 25.5% of the participants constantly. Nearly half felt burdened by everyday tasks at work, while talking about the problem (55.9%) and physical activity (37.3%), including walks (19.6%), were the most frequently used forms of fighting stress. Significant relationships were found between the level of stress and the marital status and place of residence of the participants. Conclusions. Some nurses assessed the stress that accompanied them at work as being high and over half of them felt it was an average level of stress. Stress was the most often mentioned detriment-to-health factor in the opinions of the participants.
