Izolacja społeczna okazała się nowym doświadczeniem wpływającym na różne aspekty życia. Celem pracy było określenie wpływu izolacji społecznej związanej z pandemią COVID-19 na zachowania żywieniowe studentów PWSZ w Nowym Sączu. Narzędzie badawcze stanowił kwestionariusz ankiety zawierający pytania otwarte i pytania wyboru dotyczące zagadnień związanych z zachowaniami żywieniowymi, regularnością i częstotliwością spożywania posiłków i określonych grup produktów, ze stanem zdrowia, zachorowaniami na COVID-19 oraz z suplementacją diety witaminą D. Na podstawie informacji podanych przez studentów obliczono wskaźnik masy ciała (BMI) przed pandemią i w trakcie jej trwania. Wśród ankietowanych dominowały studentki studiów stacjonarnych I stopnia mieszkające na wsi. Spośród respondentów zachorowanie na COVID-19 zadeklarowało po ok. 20 % kobiet i mężczyzn. Najwięcej osób chorujących doświadczyło utraty węchu i smaku. Chorzy na COVID-19 w większości nie obserwowali zmian częstotliwości przyjmowania posiłków w związku z wystąpieniem choroby. Nie obserwowano istotnych zmian średniej masy ciała oraz wartości wskaźnika masy ciała (BMI) zarówno kobiet, jak i mężczyzn w trakcie trwania pandemii w porównaniu z czasem przed jej wystąpieniem. Wpływ pandemii na zachowania żywieniowe zaobserwowało u siebie 45 % kobiet i 36 % mężczyzn, zwłaszcza pod względem liczby spożywanych posiłków. Jako przyczynę wymieniano mniejszą częstotliwość przemieszczania się, naukę i pracę zdalną, stres, a także ograniczenie kontaktów z rodziną i bliskimi. Obserwowano wzrost spożycia słonych i słodkich przekąsek, kawy, nieznaczne zmniejszenie spożycia mięsa i wędlin oraz nasion roślin strączkowych. Pandemia wywołana wirusem SARS-CoV-2 w nieznacznym stopniu wpłynęła na suplementację diety witaminą D wśród studentów PWSZ w Nowym Sączu.

“…Therefore, the ability to respond healthily to stress plays a key role in alleviating psychosomatic symptoms. It depends on many factors: personality dispositions, defense mechanisms, as well as health-promoting behaviors, which can become an important protective factor with regard to the effects of chronic stress [8]. With the current lifestyle and stress burden, psychogenic disorders will be encountered more and more often in physiotherapy practice, so learning about this area, as well as introducing specific therapeutic techniques, is necessary.…”

Background: By location, cervical spine pain ranks second only to L-S spine pain. The causes of spinal pain can be many, and we must not forget that they can also be psychosomatic in nature. Aims:This study aimed to evaluate the association of the severity of cervical spine pain with stress intensity and disability in subjects examined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods:The study involved 47 subjects with a mean age of 34.5 ± 5.9 years. The participants were divided into a study group (24 women and 11 men), subjects characterized by cervical spine pain, and a control group (6 women and 6 men), subjects without pain. The study used a diagnostic survey method using the author's questionnaire augmented by research using the PSS-10 Perceived Stress Scale, the NDI Cervical Disability Index, and the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS). Abbreviations need to be elaborated on, as here they occur for the first time. Results:The mean value of the PSS-10 in the study group (with pain complaints) was 18.4 points, while in the control group (without pain complaints), the value was lower at 16.1 points. The percentage of subjects characterized by a high stress level was significantly higher in the study group (48.5%) than in the control group (16.6%). The pain level for those in the group identified as representing a low stress level was 2.4. For the group with an average stress level, 2.6, while the highest values -3.8 -were recorded in the group in which the stress level was identified as high. For the study group, the average disability in subjects with low stress intensity was 4.0 ± 2.8, average 5.4 ± 5.6, and high 8.1 ± 3.9. For the control group of subjects with low stress, the intensity was 2.6 ± 2.1, an average of 2.6 ± 1.7, and high 4.0 ± 0.0. Conclusions:The study shows that people with cervical spine pain are more characterized by a high-stress level than those who do not report pain. Those in the high-stress group reported higher cervical spine pain compared to the low-and medium-stress groups. The study also showed that those with higher stress levels have a greater cervical spine disability.

“…Moreover, at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, having health knowledge has been shown to have a protective effect on medical students and reduce feelings of fear, while smoking and drinking appear to have a negative effect on the fear of COVID-19 [6]. Health-promoting behaviors, and in particular positive mental attitudes, can play a protective role with regard to the symptoms of anxiety and depression in a stressful situation [7].…”

Background Health is a state of complete physical and mental well-being, and the right of every individual. Its presence is influenced by various factors. It is well known that early prevention, aimed at avoiding disease, has a greater impact on quality of life and longevity than disease treatment. Through their behavior, young people determine the development of diseases in the future. Medical students are a special group in that respect. They should be more aware of the need to lead a healthy lifestyle, but they are at risk of chronic stress and other disorders due to strenuous studies. Objectives Learning about selected health behaviors of medical students of the Medical University of Lodz. Material and methods Medical students of the Medical University of Lodz; form of the study: original online questionnaire. Results 76.6% of the respondents were physically active. The favorite form of physical activity of medical students in Lodz were exercise in the gym (57.1%), walking (36.7%), and running (28.6%). 67.3% of the interviewees had normal body weight. 33.6% of the respondents admitted to smoking. 0.9% of the respondents drank alcohol daily, 28% at least once a week, 57.9% at least once a month, and 13.1% did not drink alcohol at all. Only about every third student did not drink energy drinks (34.6%). 35.5% of the respondents reported sleeping problems. Conclusions Medical students of the Medical University of Lodz were physically active: most often they exercised in the gym and walked. Men were overweight and obese more often than women. Greater physical activity and a lower percentage of smokers in the students of higher years of study may indicate an increase in the healthy lifestyle awareness. In universities, there is a need for activities aimed at students to raise their knowledge about prevention and healthy lifestyle.
