Wstęp: Społeczne postrzeganie niepełnosprawności jest często poważniejszym problemem niż sama niepełnosprawność. Akceptacja osób z niepełnosprawnością przez otoczenie społeczne ma kluczowe znaczenie, gdyż sprzyja ich wszechstronnemu rozwojowi lepiej niż działania podejmowanie w ramach rehabilitacji indywidualnej. Celem pracy była analiza postrzegania osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną przez społeczeństwo. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego przy użyciu autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety w marcu 2023 roku. Do badań włączono 314 poprawnie wypełnionych ankiet, wypełnianych przez osoby w wieku pomiędzy 18 a 67 lat (śr. 25,97 ± 7,97 lat). Przyjęto poziom istotności p<0,05. Wyniki: Aż 32,48% (n = 102) ankietowanych przyznaje, że ma w swojej rodzinie lub otoczeniu osobę niepełnosprawną intelektualnie. Wśród badanych 54,14% zna lokalne organizacje zrzeszające osoby niepełnosprawne intelektualnie i ich rodziny, gdzie 17,20% osób przyznało, że pełniło wolontariat w takiej organizacji. Chęć zastania wolontariuszem takiej organizacji wyraziło 44,90% osób. Ankietowani zdecydowaną większością zgodzili się, że osoby niepełnosprawne intelektualnie powinny brać udział w życiu lokalnej wspólnoty (91,40%). Większość badanych (79,62%) uważa, że osoby niepełnosprawne intelektualnie posiadają takie same potrzeby seksualne jak reszta społeczeństwa, następnie 15,61% twierdzi, że nie posiadają one potrzeb seksualnych, a 2,87% powiązuje potrzeby seksualne osób niepełnosprawnych intelektualnie z ich stopniem i rodzajem niepełnosprawności. Wnioski: Społeczeństwo wykazuje przejawy tolerancji bezwysiłkowej – nie chce mieć bliższych relacji z osobami z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną, ale jednocześnie nie ma nic przeciwko, aby takie osoby brały udział w życiu społecznym. Badani wykazują się niedostateczną wiedzą z zakresu seksualności osób niepełnosprawnych intelektualnie.

Introduction: Social perception of disability is often a more serious problem than the disability itself. Acceptance of people with disabilities by the social environment is crucial, as it promotes their all-round development better than measures taken in individual rehabilitation. The aim of the study was to analyze the perception of people with intellectual disabilities by residents of the Tarnów region. Material and methods: The study was conducted by a diagnostic survey method using the author's survey questionnaire in March-May 2023. 314 correctly completed questionnaires were included in the study, completed by people between 18 and 67 years of age (mean 25.97 ± 7.97 years). A significance level of p < 0.05 was adopted. Results: As many as 32.48% (n = 102) of the respondents admit that they have a person with intellectual disabilities in their family or neighborhood. Among the respondents, 54.14% are familiar with local organizations for people with intellectual disabilities and their families, where 17.20% of people admitted that they have done volunteer work for such an organization. A willingness to become a volunteer for such an organization was expressed by 44.90% of people. Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that people with intellectual disabilities should participate in the life of the local community (91.40%). The majority of respondents (79.62%) believe that intellectually disabled people have the same sexual needs as the rest of society, followed by 15.61% who say they have no sexual needs, and 2.87% associate the sexual needs of intellectually disabled people with their degree and type of disability. Conclusions: Society shows signs of effortless tolerance – it does not want to have closer relations with people with intellectual disabilities, but at the same time does not mind that such people participate in society. Respondents show insufficient knowledge of the sexuality of people with intellectual disabilities.

Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic has shed a whole new light on telehealth, which has become an alternative for diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and support without physical contact between patient and healthcare professional. The aim of this study was to examine patient satisfaction with medical services provided with tele-advice during the Covid-19 pandemic.Material and methods: The study was conducted using our own questionnaire via Google Form that was correctly completed by 133 individuals between the ages of 18 and 76 years (mean 33.1 ± 13.1 years) who received medical services via tele-advice.Results: Patients with chronic conditions were statistically more likely to seek specialist services via tele-advice (p = 0.003). Slightly less than one-third of respondents (n = 39; 29.3%) were asked during the tele-advice to attend the clinic / office in person to complete the visit with a physical examination. The vast majority of subjects (n = 95; 71.4%) responded that their health status had not changed since the pandemic and the introduction of tele-advice. Nearly half (n = 64; 48.1%) believed that their health problem had been solved via tele-advice. Only 4.5% of the respondents (n = 6) strongly agreed with the statement that “tele-advice enables proper diagnosis and matching of effective treatment”, 18.0% (n = 24) tended to agree. The vast majority of respondents believed that everyone should be able to choose between tele-advice and a traditional medical visit (n = 121; 91.0%).Conclusions: The majority of people surveyed did not perceive a difference in their health since the pandemic and the introduction of tele-advice. Nearly half of respondents believed that their health problem had been resolved with a telemedicine consultation, with even fewer people convinced that “tele-advice allows for proper diagnosis and matching of effective treatment.” Patients would mostly like to have a choice between tele-visit and in-person visits, with no clear indication of the superiority of one or the other. Continuous improvement of current solutions will certainly contribute to increased patient satisfaction with the medical services provided.
