Aim Empathy is one of the widely appreciated qualities of a nurse. The benefit of this phenomenon is not only observed in the direct relationship with a patient but also in many other nurse’s relationships including the patient’s family, staff members, and superiors. The aim of this study was to analyze factors influencing nurse’s empathy. Material and methods The study was conducted in a group of 199 nurses working within the district of Gryfice in the Western Pomeranian Voivodeship. The study was carried out using a diagnostic poll method with the standardized Questionnaire of the Emphatic Understanding of Other People (KRE) and an own questionnaire. Results Studies have shown that only a small group of nurses had a high level of empathy (14.0%). There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of empathy among nurses and sociodemographic variables (age, place of residence) as well as reasons for the choice of the profession. Conclusions In the study group, nurses were mainly characterized by a low level of empathy even though they identified their attitude with sympathy for patients. According to my own research, nurses with longer work experience and the ones who live in small towns and villages show the greatest empathy. In addition, the important factors affecting the level of empathy are the choice of the profession because of its attractiveness and because of the willingness to help others.

Introduction: The life situation and problems of elderly people are becoming the subject of studies and theoretical considerations of psychologists, sociologists, teachers, politicians and economists. Unfortunately, senility is quite often equated with infirmity, diseases and the necessity of asking others for help. The aim of the study: was to show an old man in our society in opinions about senility collected from selected social groups. Materials and methods: The study was performed in 2009 among medical staff members: nurses and physicians employed in the Specialist Hospital in Szczecin- Zdunowo and workers of the building company, CALBUD from Szczecin. This survey-based study was performed using the authors” questionnaire. It involved 100 people, including 35% of CALBUD building workers, 35% of physicians and 30% of nurses. Results: The majority of building workers (28.57%) claimed that senility is the „golden autumn of life”, while most nurses equated senility with helplessness (33.33%), disability, a lack of self-reliance and depending on others (23.33%). Physicians usually said that senility was the time for rest (34.29%) and helplessness/disability (34.29%). According to the majority of respondents (66.00%) elderly people have movement problems. The opinion prevailing in each of the professional groups was that old people suffered from solitude. Conclusions: 1. There is a significant correlation between one’s occupation and general view of senility. Physical workers more often than medical staff idealized this stage of life. 2. An occupation had an influence on the opinion about depression as a disease occurring in elderly people. Considerably more physical workers, than physicians or nurses, associated this disease with an old age.

Wstęp: Sytuacja życiowa oraz problemy ludzi starych stają się coraz częściej przedmiotem badań oraz rozważań teoretycznych psychologów, socjologów, pedagogów, polityków oraz ekonomistów. Niestety dość często starość utożsamiana jest z niedołężnością, chorobami, koniecznością korzystania z pomocy innych. Cel pracy: Ukazanie wizerunku człowieka starego w naszym społeczeństwie poprzez zebranie opinii o starości wśród wybranych grup społecznych. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzone zostały w 2009 roku wśród personelu medycznego: pielęgniarek i lekarzy pracujących w Specjalistycznym Szpitalu w Szczecinie-Zdunowo oraz pracowników firmy budowlanej Calbud ze Szczecina. Do realizacji założonego celu posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem narzędzia badawczego, jakim była autorska ankieta. W badaniu wzięło udział 100 osób, z czego po 35% stanowili pracownicy przedsiębiorstwa budowlanego CALBUD i lekarze, a 30% to pielęgniarki. Wyniki: Największa część pracowników (28,57%) przedsiębiorstwa budowlanego była zdania, że starość to „złota jesień życia”. Natomiast najliczniejsza grupa pielęgniarek utożsamiała starość z niezaradnością (33,33%), niepełnosprawnością, brakiem samodzielności i uzależnieniem od innych (23,33%). Wśród lekarzy 34,29% najczęściej wskazywane odpowiedzi określają starość jako czas odpoczynku oraz niezaradność i niepełnosprawność (34,29%). Większość badanych tj. 66,00% była zdania, że osoby starsze najczęściej mają problemy z poruszaniem się. Wkażdej z grup zawodowych większość badanych była zdania, że osobom starszym dokucza samotność. Wnioski: 1. Występuje istotna zależność między wykonywanym zawodem, a ogólnym wizerunkiem starości. Pracownicy fizyczni częściej niż personel medyczny idealizowali ten etap życia. 2. Rodzaj wykonywanego zawodu miał wpływ na opinię dotyczącą występowania depresji jako schorzenia ludzi starych. Chorobę tą z okresem starości wiązał znacznie większy odsetek pracowników fizycznych niż lekarzy czy pielęgniarek.

Background. During the last few decades, adiposity has become a relatively common phenomenon worldwide. The available data on the effects of pro-inflammatory factors in both depression and adiposity has been attracting great attention. Aim. We sought to assess the prevalence of -889C>T IL-1α, -31T>C and -511C>T IL-1β, -330T>G IL-2 and -174G>C IL-6 genes and their association with adiposity and depression in Polish subjects. Methods. A cohort study was conducted in 2013/2014, covering a sample of 297 individuals (217 female and 80 male). Anthropometric data was handled using the BIA analysis method, while for genotyping PCR-RFLP techniques were used. Results. A positive correlation between depression and anthropometric parameters: adipose tissue (in kg) and adipose tissue (in %) (R=0.135 and p=0.02, R=0.114 and p<0.05, respectively) was found. No association between studied polymorphisms and depression was observed. Conclusion. Although it was not possible to demonstrate any influence of the studied polymorphisms as the genetic modulator of depression, authors believe that the presented data are noticeable and may provide the basis for future studies on larger groups.
