    Correlation between the participation of elderly people in the occupational therapy and their assessment of the healthrelated quality of life
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-01-13) Nałęcz, Hanna ; Derbich, Jolanta
    The aim of the research: discovering the relation between the participation of elderly people in the occupational therapy and their Health-Related Quality of Life. Research material and methods: research was carried out in the public social centers offering the occupational therapy devoted to the elderly people. 95 people whose average age was 72,1 years (58 women and 37 men) were examined. The examinees were divided into two groups: the participants and those who were not involved in the occupational therapy. The method of direct interview using EQ-SD-3L questionnaire - a standard instrument for measuring Health-Related Quality of Life of the elderly people was applied. The results: Seniors involved in occupational therapy reported better HRQL. Difficulties with mobility (<0,05], pain/discomfort [< 0,001) and anxiety (<0,001) were substantially more visible around people who did not take part in the occupational therapy. The average self-reported health was better among the occupational therapy participants (<0,001) in comparison with the other elderly people who were not engaged in those activities (76,5 vs. 43,6 respectively]. Conclusions: participation in the occupational therapy has a positive effect on the functioning of the elderly people in every sphere of their life: physical, mental and social one. Involvement in the occupations resulted in the improved perception of the Health-Related Quality of Life. Occupational therapy turned out to be an inexpensive and effective method that exerts a positive impact on maintenance of physical and intellectual abilities, social inclusion as well as physical rehabilitation of seniors.

    The most effective and the cheapest method of cardiovascular disease prevention is changing lifestyle. Cardiovascular disease is caused by many factors. They include: a diet rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity, overweight and obesity. The aim of the research was to assess the level of knowledge of the students of the Medical University about cardiovascular disease prevention. Material and methods: Research was conducted on 200 students of the Medical University of Lublin, residing in the Student House No. 4- in Lublin. Self-authorship questionnaires were used to assess the level of knowledge of the students of the Medical University about cardiovascular disease prevention. Research results: The students of the Medical University have broad knowledge about the influence of physical activity, diet, cigarettes and alcohol use on cardiovascular disease prevention. 90.5 percent of the respondents know that smoking greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. More than a half of the students are aware that excessive alcohol consumption has a negative impact on the cardiovascular system. 38.67 percent of the respondents recognize moderate alcohol consumption as protective for cardiovascular disease. The remaining 3.13 percent of the students have no knowledge about this issue. Almost half of the respondents [45 percent) is aware that psychosocial factors have an impact on the cardiovascular system. 86.5 percent of the students believe that there is a correlation between cardiovascular disease and factors such as: low socioeconomic status, social isolation, stress, negative emotions, depression. The remaining 13.5 percent of the respondents have incomplete knowledge about this issue. Almost the half of the respondents knows that type A personality increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, whereas the remaining 52 percent of the students have incomplete knowledge about this issue.

    State of knowledge (concerning the alcohol dependence) of the patients undergoing a therapy in the Department of Twenty-Four-Hour Addiction Treatment in Łukow
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-01-13)
    The aim of research was to determine the effects of therapy and its influence on the way people addicted to alcohol perceive alcoholism. This work contains the basic knowledge concerning the core of alcoholism, its stages and symptoms of addiction. There are also characteristic features of addicted person which resulted from the analysis of defense mechanisms supporting alcoholism. The research was carried out from November 2012 to January 2013 in the Department of Twenty-four- hour Addiction Treatment in Independent Public Health Care Institution in Łuków. The study comprised of 50 patients who were in the final stage of therapy [seventh week of therapy). The research tool was the interview questionnaire, prepared by the researchers, which consisted of questions concerning demographic-social data of patients, their knowledge, concerning dependence syndrome, and the level of preparedness for living with disease after the end of therapy. The research showed that men participated in the therapy four times more often than women. Half of the investigated patients completed only the primary education and had a status of an unemployed person. Basing on the conversations with patients, it was proved that the main reason for participation in the therapy was the desire to overcome their addiction. It has been stated that after 7 weeks of therapy more than 1/z of patients gained knowledge concerning alcoholism and evaluated their own knowledge as sufficient. Thanks to the therapy, patients gained knowledge concerning the destructive influence of alcohol on the functioning of family. More than V1 of patients claimed that they are able to use assertive behaviours and prevent the recurrence of disease. According to patients, the instructor of therapy plays an important role in shaping some necessary skills at "building" a sober life.

    The role of reactive oxygen species in the pathogenesis of experimental maxillary sinusitis
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-01-13) Andreychyn, Yurii
    Simulated maxillary sinusitis was observed in guinea pigs following the surgical incision in superior cervical sympathetic ganglion. Additionally, toxic hepatitis development was stimulated after exposure to tetrachlormethane in experimental animals. The treated and control animals were observed for three months. A significant increase in the content of reactive oxygen species [ROS] in neutrophils and lymphocytes was noted in artificially developed sinusitis. The ROS values were slightly higher in the case of combined experimental sinusitis and toxic hepatitis. Based on the obtained data, the role of ROS in the development of sinusitis was discussed.

    Type 2 diabetes risk factors among the unemployed
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-01-13) Filarski, Remigiusz
    Unemployment is a significant social problem which has numerous negative health consequences. Findings of numerous researches provide data on the range of the consequences of unemployment with risk of health deterioration being one of the most important. Unemployment remains an area of interest for the following fields of science: psychology, economics, sociology. More and more researches prove that there is a link between the increase of disease occurrence and death rate and long-term unemployment. Both in Poland and all over the world a steady increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes is being observed. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, taking into consideration present dynamics of changes, in 2025 there will be 300 million people diagnosed with diabetes. That is why a diabetes epidemic is such a topical issue, and according to some epidemic data this epidemic is starting to reach Poland as well. Data provided by IDF (International Diabetes Federation] show that in Poland the percentage of diabetes patients is 9,1% of the whole population and it is a little higher than the European average [8,6%]. It is predicted that by 2015 the percentage will rise to 11%. Identification of adverse health behaviors and introducing actions promoting health in a given population group can prove to be beneficial for the present condition of members of a given group as well as decrease the risk connected with the occurrence of diseases associated with the progress of civilization in the future. The aim of the article is to indicate type 2 diabetes risk factors among the unemployed in Poland.

    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-01-13) Tomaszewski, Marek ; Olchowik, Grażyna ; Olejarz, Piotr ; Tomaszewska, Monika
    Disorders in the functioning of the human body balance system exist in 20-30 % of adults and in 8-18% of children. The main causes of these aberrations are: benign positional vertigoes, migraine, anxiety disorders and depression, cerebrovascular diseases, brain traumas, labyrinthitis, toxic impairment of labyrinth, vestibular neuronitis, Méniére disease, brain tumours. Among the minor causes of these disorders are: internal ear disorders, inner ear circulation disorders, sclerosis multiplex (SM), epilepsy, arterial hypertension, postural hypertension, heart rhythm disorders, sclerosis, hypoglycaemia and involutional alternations (see: prezbiastazja]. Human body balance disorders increase the risk of falls, which may threaten health and life. Frequency of these disorders raises with age, which is the cause of progressing degeneration of all the anatomical and functional systems, the efficiency of which affects the stability of the human body. Determination of the factors, which are related to a worse functioning of the body balance system of young people, who do not experience any clinical symptoms caused by this system is vital, especially in preventing falls and complications attributed to them. It allows to implement possibly early the preventive actions substantial for people encumbered by the risk factors. The aforesaid actions may consist in the alternation of a given factor (diet, sleep, physical activity). ln case of the factors, which are not subject to modifications (i.e. heterogeneous form of the functional lateralization), it is essential to prevent potential diseases that disturb the functioning of the body balance system, which is already impaired. This study aimed to acquaint with the findings concerning the evaluation of the functional lateralization enriched with a new diagnostic tool — a computerized dynamic posturography. The computerized dynamic posturography (CPD) is a state-of-the-art and faultless evaluation tool of the functional lateralization. It provides a comprehensive knowledge, which concerns not only the preferences of the body, but also constitutes an objective and quantitative diagnostic method for the disorders in the functioning of the body balance system. CPD differentiates a few clinical protocols: the Sensory Organization Test [SOT]; the Motor Control Test [MCT); the Adaptation Test (ADT). SOT evaluates the control of the body balance in different conditions (eyes closed/eyes opened; environment moves/ground moves] of the sensory systems stimulation. MCT assesses the postural reactions (body postures) in response to an unexpected changes in the location of the feet prop surface. ADT assesses the efficiency of the adaptation mechanisms in the body balance control.

    Nowadays nursing focuses the care on the whole person with his instantaneous and potential health problems. The main role in the care of patients has a nurse, who perceives a patient as a unique, holistic being and not only merely his parts. She is increasingly interested in the link of physical, mental, social and spiritual needs. It is in the most important for the patient’s health, well- being and his survival to apply the new dimension of a holistic approach in nursing, which means the quality of patient’s life. One of the groups of patients hospitalized in intensive care units creates the patients who are unconscious, they have various injuries of many vital body systems and some of them can have irreversible damages as well. The aim of their treatment is the minimum of harm to the body and then, if possible, patient return to optimal functioning in the society.
