Background. implementation of the "Blue cards" procedure has resulted in an increase in reported acts of violence, including those concerning the elderly, not because violence has become more widespread, but because the principles of the fight against domestic violence have been established and competencies of the relevant services have been distributed. Objectives. the aim of the study is to review the "Blue cards" questionnaires of people over the age of 60 involved in domestic violence. Material and methods. the study involved 1,299 "Blue cards" questionnaires, which were obtained in the years 2012-2013 by the interdisciplinary team dealing with domestic violence prevention in szczecin. from this sample, 312 forms obtained from individuals above the age of 60 were analyzed. Results. elderly people are involved in violence in three ways: as individuals experiencing violence, as those who use violence or as individuals who witnesses violence. without a doubt, the majority of people who are affected by violence are women who are harmed by their husbands. domestic violence amongst elderly people is usually disclosed after 1-3 years of its duration; however, it occasionally happens after more than 7 years. the dominant emotion in victims of domestic violence is fear, and in perpetrators -aggression. Conclusions. there are still many cases of domestic violence amongst people over 60 years of age that remain undisclosed, hence co-operation amongst services is extremely important, as well as continuously raising the competence of police officers, education, social assistance and health care specialists. the aim is to counteract violence amongst the elderly and to restore balance to their daily functioning. Key words: the elderly, domestic violence, public policy.

Cel pracyPoznanie opinii pacjentów opieki psychiatrycznej na temat postaw personelu oraz udziału rodziny w procesie leczenia.MetodaW badaniu wzięło udział 219 pacjentów: 80 pacjentów opieki całodobowej; 69 pacjentów opieki dziennej; 70 pacjentów poradni zdrowia psychicznego. Zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, technikę ankiety za pomocą kwestionariuszy: (1) opinii pacjenta na temat pobytu w oddziale całodobowym, (2) opinii pacjenta na temat opieki w oddziale dziennym, poradni lub w leczeniu środowiskowym oraz (3) badania satysfakcji pacjenta z otrzymanej usługi medycznej VSSS-54.WynikiOtrzymanie wsparcia psychicznego podczas leczenia potwierdziło 81,25% pacjentów oddziałów całodobowych; 88,41% pacjentów oddziałów dziennych i 84,29% pacjentów poradni. Jako osobę udzielającą największego wsparcia pacjenci opieki całodobowej i poradni wskazywali najczęściej lekarza; pacjenci oddziałów dziennych - terapeutę. Większość pacjentów opieki całodobowej (76,25%) przyznała, że pielęgniarki poświęcają im wystarczającą ilość czasu. Liczba pozytywnych odpowiedzi względem lekarzy wynosiła 61,25% (p=0,000). Wśród pacjentów oddziałów dziennych 66,67% respondentów odpowiedziało, że czas poświęcony im przez personel jest wystarczający; wśród pacjentów poradni odsetek ten wynosił 57,14%. Pacjentów oddziałów dziennych i poradni zapytano o zadowolenie z włączenia rodziny w proces leczenia. Ankietowani ocenili ten aspekt opieki średnio na 3,807 punktów (na 5,0).WnioskiW celu zwiększania satysfakcji pacjentów psychiatrycznej opieki zdrowotnej należy wdrożyć rozwiązania organizacyjne, które przyczynią się do zwiększenia wymiaru czasu przeznaczanego przez personel na kontakt z pacjentem oraz pozwolą na włączenie rodziny w proces leczenia.
Background The objective of this study has been to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic has had impact on self-efficacy scores and intensity of depressive severity in people aged over 60 who provide kinship foster care to their grandchildren. Methods The study subjects were selected from among individuals aged over 60 years providing kinship foster care to their grand-children. The participants were asked to complete the Generalised Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) before and during the pandemic. The questionnaire was com-pleted in whole twice by 40 participants. Results There are no statistically significant differences between the GSE and GDS scores obtained before and during the pandemic. In study subjects with the oldest child in foster care aged 10 years or less, the GDS score decreased in a statistically sig-nificant way (p = 0.03). The correlation coefficient of the GSE and GDS scores before the pandemic was − 0.46 (p = 0.003), while that of scores during the pandemic was − 0.43 (p = 0.006). Conclusions Neither the sense of self-efficacy nor the intensity of depressiveness of the study subjects changed significantly during the pandemic. Both before and during the pandemic, the increase in depressiveness was associated with a decrease in self-efficacy.
