Association between chronic health problems and quality of life in medical students. Results of the Pollek cohort study
Introduction Medical students with chronic diseases constitute a particurarly vulnerable subgroup of young adults, exposed to various health risks, related both to the academic environment and their underlying health condition. Previous findings suggest that medical students with chronic illnesses experience greater deterioration in quality of life (QoL) compared with their healthy peers. The aim of this study was to validate earlier observations…
Assessment of the Emotional State of Parents of Children Starting the Vojta Therapy in the Context of the Physical Activity—A Pilot Study
The aim of the study was to assess the emotional state of parents at the moment of starting therapy for their children using the Vojta method in the context of the physical activity undertaken by the parents. The study involved 68 parents (37 mothers and 31 fathers) of children with central coordination disorders (CCD) presenting for consultation and therapy using the Vojta method. The authors' questionnaires, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10),…
Physical Activity and the Emotional State of Physiotherapy Students Who Finish Their Education
This study aimed to evaluate the emotional state and the level of the sense of coherence in the context of physical activity among physiotherapy students and investigate how the participating students' emotional state changed after two years of studying and what factors were associated with the mood disorders. The study group consisted of 110 students-79 female and 31 male. The Back Depression Inventory (BDI), the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire…
Assessment of Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and after Kidney Transplantation—A Comparative Analysis
Depression and anxiety are common among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients but are rarely diagnosed and treated. Furthermore, the fraction of patients with depression is greater among hemodialyzed patients. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of depression symptoms, anxiety and assess the level of life satisfaction in three groups of patients based on the stage of CKD. The study group consisted of 283 patients-130 females and 153…
Nonpharmacological Forms of Therapy to Reduce the Burden on Caregivers of Patients with Dementia—A Pilot Intervention Study
The aim of this pilot intervention study was to assess the effectiveness of selected forms of therapy (massage and relaxation) in reducing the perceived burden and improving the emotional status of caregivers of people with dementia and to determine which form of physical intervention is most effective. The study group was made up of 45 informal caregivers, who were divided into three subgroups (the massage group, relaxation group and control gro…
Evaluation of Psychophysical Factors in Individuals with Frailty Syndrome Following a 3-Month Controlled Physical Activity Program
In individuals with pre-frailty and frailty syndrome, the 3-month physical training programme improved the strength parameters of lower limb muscles. An improvement in mood and reduction in depressive symptoms were only observed in the group of subjects with pre-frailty syndrome. Rehabilitation programmes for people with frailty syndrome should include psychotherapeutic activities in addition to physical training in order to improve the psychophy…
Determination of Triglycidyl Isocyanurate in Workplace Air
Triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) is a white solid in powder or granular form. TGIC does not occur naturally in the environment. It is intentionally manufactured and used as a crosslinking agent or hardener to produce polyester powder coatings. TGIC may cause genetic defects. This article presents the method of TGIC determination in workplace air using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a diode-array detector (DAD). The method is ba…
Attitudes of undergraduate students towards persons with disabilities; the role of the need for social approval
The purpose of this study was a diagnosis of the attitudes of students of Warsaw universities towards people with disabilities and the variables which impacted on these attitudes. Additionally, we examined the relationship between the need for social approval and explicit attitudes towards people with disabilities. The study focused on two components of attitudes: behavioural (measured by preferable social distance - SDSB) and cognitive (tested w…
Temporal processing deficits in high‐functioning children with autism
It is well known that complex functions (e.g. perception, attention, memory, emotions, social interactions and language) are usually disturbed in autism. As these functions are characterized by specific temporal patterns, the present study examined whether children with autism show typical temporal processing in the time domain of a few seconds. Using a temporal‐reproduction paradigm, we found that they were unable to link their responses to stim…
