The present qualitative study explored the meaning of the term ‘a lifetime partner’ among single and partnered young adults, as well as between women and men. Three hundred and eighty six young adults (277 women and 109 men) aged 19-33 years old were asked to complete the following unfinished sentence “Lifetime partner means to me…” The results of qualitative and quantitative analysis showed that young adults perceived a lifetime partner as: (1) an important or the most important person to an individual; (2) a person who gives the feeling of safety, supports and who is reliable and is understanding; (3) a person who loves and who is loved, who cares and who is cared of, and who is trustworthy; (4) a person with whom you can form or you are planning to form a long-term relationship/ marriage and have or not to have children. The analysis also revealed that, in general, single and partnered young adults, as well as women and men, in a similar way understood the term ‘a lifetime partner’.

Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic treatment has been shown to have several advantages, including lower levels of postoperative pain, faster recovery, and better cosmetic results. Nevertheless, the advantages of laparoscopy are being debated as possibly not being merely related to biomedical factors.Material and methods. The study consisted of two sub-studies. In the first study, 150 healthy, previously unoperated volunteers, not employed in the health services, were included. Healthy volunteers, from the latter study, were given questionnaires that presented different sizes of post-operative wounds and examined their perception of the severity of the illnesses that were treated by surgery leading to these wounds. In the second study, data was collected from 65 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients and 35 patients treated by the open approach cholecystectomy. Patients from the second study were examined prior to operation and 1 month after surgery with a questionnaire evaluating their subjective perception of the disease.Results. Subjective perception of the severity of disease (SPSD) was similar between the laparoscopy and the open approach cholecystectomy patients before the operation (respectively, 6.25±1.7 and 6.06±2.2; ns). At the follow-up, a significant decrease of SPSD among laparoscopy patients was observed (post-op score = 3.28±0.8, p<0.05 in paired t-Student test), but not in the open approach patients (6.42±1.7, ns in paired t-Student test). The volunteers perceived that the disease of the laparoscopically treated patients was less serious than the disease of those treated with open surgery.Conclusions. The authors would like to emphasize that the study presents a new approach to the explanation of the so called "laparoscopy phenomenon", i.e. much faster and smoother recovery after relatively larger and more serious surgical procedures. We believe that the benefits observed among the videoscopy patients might be, apart from immunological and pain-related factors, attributed to the psychological influence of cognitive representations of the disease severity on pain, analgetics use, and recovery.
