Pielęgniarki środowiskowe sprawują opiekę nad rodzinami na podstawie zakresu kompetencji. Wśród ich podopiecznych są również osoby w starszym wieku. W ramach opieki środowiskowej świadczone są działania higieniczne, diagnostyczne, pielęgnacyjno-lecznicze, edukacyjne oraz z zakresu promocji zdrowia. Z perspektywy pacjenta istotny jest nie tylko zakres świadczonej opieki, ale również zadowolenie z jej jakości. Cel. Celem pracy była ocena satysfakcji pacjentów w starszym wieku z opieki środowiskowej świadczonej w ramach Podstawowej Opieki Zdrowotnej. Materiał i metody. Badaniami objęto 100 osób w wieku powyżej 60. roku życia, korzystających z opieki pielęgniarek środo-wiskowych. W badaniach zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, narzędziem był autorski kwestionariusz ankiety. Wyniki. Ponad 90% pacjentów wysoko oceniło poziom opieki środowiskowej, a blisko 85% było usatysfakcjonowanych z jej zakresu. Wnioski. Wykazano zależność między jakością opieki środowiskowej a satysfakcją z jej realizacji. Nie wykazano zależności między częstością korzystania z opieki a satysfakcją z niej. Stan zdrowia pacjentów (p = 0,001), ich wiek (p = 0,001) oraz poziom wykształcenia (p = 0,03) miały istotny wpływ na poziom satysfakcji ze świadczonej opieki.Problemy Pielęgniarstwa 2015; 23 (2): 203-207 Słowa kluczowe: człowiek starszy; opieka środowiskowa; satysfakcja ABSTRACT Introduction. While providing care to families within the scope of their competencies, community nurses also deal with the elderly. The community care services the latter receive involve hygienic, diagnostic and therapeutic activities as well as those related to health education and promotion. From the patient's perspective, what is important is not only the scope of care, but also his or her satisfaction with its quality. Aim. The aim of the study was the assessment of elderly patients' satisfaction with community-based care provided within Primary Health Care. Material and methods. The study covered 100 patients over 60 years of age and using community care services provided by nurses. The method employed was a diagnostic survey using a questionnaire that the authors designed themselves for the purposes of this research. Results. More than 90% of patients assessed the community-based care as being of a high quality and almost 85% of them were satisfied with its scope. Conclusions. The study reported a relationship between the quality of the community-based care and patient satisfaction. No significant correlation between the frequency of use of the care and the satisfaction was observed. The patients' health S
Introduction: Health-promoting behaviours determining health depend on many factors: the stage of development of the individual and of the environment, education, and broadly understood media. The undertaking and expression of health behaviours by nursing students can imply their physical and psychological preparation for the profession and can be used in professional work in shaping these behaviour's among patients. The results presented herein constitute a continuation and expansion of the study on selected health behaviours of nursing students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Jagiellonian University and the sources of health knowledge they use in social media. The aim of the study was to evaluate selected health behaviours of nursing students. Material and methods: The study was conducted in 2021 among 110 students at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Jagiellonian University. A diagnostic survey method was used in the study, and the authors' survey questionnaire, which contained 6 categories of questions, and Z. Juczynski's Health Behaviour Inventory were used to collect data. The results were developed using the IBM SPSS 26.0 package, and the significance level was adopted as p ≤ 0.05. Results: The average assessment of health behaviour in the study group was at an average level. Scores on the health behaviour subscales are as follows: proper eating habits -3.51 (the students declared eating whole-grain products, vegetable fats, and limiting fast food), preventive behaviour's -3.38, positive mental attitude -3.46, and health practices -3.16. Statistical analysis did not confirm the relationship between gender and place of residence and the health behaviours undertaken by the students. Respondents in the 21-22-year-old age group and secondyear undergraduate students showed higher scores in positive mental attitude compared to the other respondents. Conclusions: Health-promoting behaviours by nursing students should be strengthened to ensure that they are prepared for the profession in terms of the educational function.
Introduction. As a psychopathological disorder, depression affects a lot of people with chronic neurological diseases and poor prognosis. It touches approximately 40–50% of patients with multiple sclerosis (SM). Depression may be a consequence of patients’ poor mobility caused by MS, the location of inflammation or side effects of phase 1 pharmacotherapy and immunomodulatory treatment. As experience shows, co-occurrence of MS with depression impairs rehabilitation, patients’ quality of life and their physical fitness.Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of depression and its intensity as well as to analyse its relationship to patients’ everyday functioning and such sociodemographic factors as age and sex.Material and Methods. 38 people with multiple sclerosis who were patients of Neurology Clinic in Cracow (both of the hospital ward and the hospital out-patient clinic) took part in a survey. It was carried out using diagnostic poll method and the analysis of documentation. Patients were asked to complete data collection tools such as Beck’s Scale, Katz Scale and sociodemographic inventory. Patients’ medical history and individual medical order sheets were also analysed. Then statistical calculations were performed.Results. Depression symptoms vary in intensity. According to Beck’s scale results, 23.7% of patients were affected by minimal depression. Another 23.7% of respondents reported mild depression. Moderate and severe depression was observed in two equal groups — 7.9% of patients. Beck’s Scale and Katz Scale results correlation proved to be statistically insignificant (p=0.08). Age and sex were not related to the emotional state of the patients. However, detailed analysis of the data showed that young people (20–29 years old) do not suffer from depression symptoms.Conclusions. Although multiple sclerosis patients may suffer from depression, its intensity varies. Young people do not feel negative emotions because they are not ill for a long time. (JNNN 2014;3(4):169–174)
Introduction: Nowadays, the Internet allows unlimited access to information from various areas, including health. Health-related content posted on the Internet and social media can shape users' health behaviour and knowledge, but unfortunately not always in a professional manner. Given the unreliability of health information present on the Internet, there is a need to sensitize students planning to pursue medical professions in the future to this phenomenon. The results presented here constitute a continuation and expansion of the study on selected health behaviours of nursing students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Jagiellonian University and the sources of health knowledge they use in social media. The aim of this paper was to explore the sources of health knowledge among nursing students from available social media on the Web. Material and methods: The study covered 110 first-and second-year students at the undergraduate and graduate levels of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Jagiellonian University. The 2021 study was conducted using a diagnostic survey method, and data were collected based on the author's survey questionnaire with 6 question categories. The results were developed using IBM SPSS 26.0 package, and the significance level was adopted as p ≤ 0.05. Results: Among the issues related to health, the most searched content was related to physical activity. The most popular social network was Instagram, and the most reliable source of information were profiles of specialists. Conclusions: Internet social media are a frequent source of information in the surveyed group of nursing students. There is a need to sensitize the recipients to seek and use professional sources in social media.

A substantial group (58%) of the respondents was convinced about their beneficial influence on human health, and 21% did not think it was necessary to use the sesupplements. More than 50% of the respondents used the preparations because they cared for their health. Most of the respondents noticed positive effects of the supplements, such as: an increase of vitality and resistance to diseases, better functioning of the organs of movement. Most respondents purchased the supplements in pharmacies. The use of supplements is perfectly safe in the opinion of 45% of the study group while 28% think it may carry some risks. Conclusion. The most frequent motivations of diet supplementation was boosting resistance and vitality, supplement irondeficiency, stress management. Diet supplements were used by more women (94.8%) than men (85.7%) and more healthy people(96.9%) than the sick (88.2%) but the difference was not statistically significant.
