Introduction: Self-efficacy in nurses appears to be of great importance, and is one of the indicators of behaviour Purpose: Nurses’ self-assessment of their generalized self-efficacy in relation to their workplace. Material and methods: The study involved random sample of 570 nurses. A diagnostic survey was carried out using the standardized Generalized SelfEfficacy Scale (GSES). Results: The average value of self-efficacy amounted to 29.3±30. Among the respondents, 56.8% represented category of “high efficacy”, whereas others were of “average efficacy” (32.3%) and “low efficacy” (10.9%). The overall assessment of the nursing profession was higher in participants who presented higher values on GSES scale (R=0.12). The average general level of satisfaction in terms of 20 aspects of professional work was connected with self-efficacy which proved statistically significant. Analysis of self-efficacy score did not indicate statistically significant differences among workplaces. Conclusion: Over half of the participants represented the category of “high efficacy”. The group of nurses employed in district hospitals presented the least instances of low self-efficacy assessment. Individuals who were satisfied with their nursing professional development opportunities had a higher self-efficacy. The higher the perception of self-efficacy, the higher the workplace satisfaction. The average level of satisfaction resulting from various aspects of nursing profession depended on the perception of selfefficacy in the following areas of assessment: professional development opportunity, decisionmaking autonomy, sense of purpose at work, and, to a lesser extent, occupational safety, maintaining work-life balance, and the possibility of communicating with people.
Introduction: In the nurses group, it is required to have great psychosocial skills, guaranteeing the high quality of professional services. Purpose: To assess the psychosocial working conditions of nurses, depending on their place of employment. Material and methods: The study involved 570 randomly selected nurses. It was based on a diagnostic survey using a standardised questionnaire of Psychosocial Working Conditions (PWC). Results: Correlation factors between the overall and average level of satisfaction with the work were quite high – exceed 0.30 and even 0.40. The greater was the need for change, the lower was the job satisfaction. High sense of self-control at work, social support, or wellbeing was linked with better ratings. Psychophysical requirements were assessed as the worst, and the least frequent were the additional requirements resulting from the conflict nature of the job and overload. Nurses from voivodeship hospitals rated their work lower in the category of intellectual demands, and nurses from the Primary Health Care - in the category of requirements resulting from the conflict nature of the job and overload. Behavioural control and the need for change were different for PHC and the other two hospitals. Psychological wellbeing in district hospitals was worse than in the other two types of medical institutions. Conclusions: The larger was the sense of work control, or sense of social support, the higher was the job satisfaction. The higher the level of requirements and the need for change, the lower was the satisfaction of the assessed aspects of work. There were clear differences in the assessment of the psychosocial working conditions of nurses from hospitals and nurses from PHC.

Wstęp. Każda postępująca nieuleczalna choroba wywiera wpływ na poziom i jakość życia osób nią dotkniętych, na ich role rodzinne, zawodowe i społeczne. Stwardnienie rozsiane jest nieuleczalną i postępującą chorobą ośrodkowego układu nerwowego. Niejednoznaczny przebieg choroby, mnogość objawów oraz okresowość rzutów i remisji nie tylko wpływają negatywnie na organizm, ale również mają istotny wpływ na subiektywną ocenę satysfakcji z życia. Cel. Głównym celem podjętych badań było zbadanie jakości życia wśród pacjentów chorych na stwardnienie rozsiane. Materiały i metody. W badaniu wzięło udział 105 pacjentów ze stwardnieniem rozsianym Sandomierskiego Ośrodka Neurologii. W pracy jako narzędzie badawcze zastosowano autorski kwestionariusz ankiety. Wyniki. Analiza wyników badań wykazała że największy odsetek badanych cierpi na postać rzutowo-remisyjną, w większości są to ludzie młodzi, u których diagnozę postawiono między 21 a 40 r.ż. Chorzy skarżą się na występowanie wielu objawów ze strony poszczególnych objawów (występują zaburzenia ruchowe, czuciowe, wegetatywne, zaburzenia widzenia). Ograniczenia wynikające z niepełnosprawności fizycznej stwarzają w życiu pacjentów wiele problemów. Z badań wynika, że wraz z pogorszeniem się sprawności ruchowej obniżała się ich jakość życia. Wnioski. Chorzy na stwardnienie rozsiane w większości źle oceniają jakość swojego życia we wszystkich jego sferach. Na obniżenie jakości życia wpływa przede wszystkim stan zdrowia, zaburzenia ze strony wielu narządów, zaawansowana niesprawność, zaburzenia natury psychologicznej, brak dostatecznego wsparcia ze strony rodziny, wsparcia specjalistycznego i instytucjonalnego.
