Introduction: Tai Chi is a type of movement derived from Tr aditional Chinese Medicine, gaining popularity in Poland in recent years. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of 1 - year practice of Tai Chi on health behavior in adults. Material and Methods: The study was conducted from September 2014 to Octob er 2015 among 62 students of the Tai Chi Chuan School in Krakow ranging from 30 to 50 years old. The study involved 37 women as well as 25 men. The main test method used in our study was the Health Behavior Inventory (IZZ). Results: Results of this study i ndicate significant improvement of the average score of Health Behavior Index (p=0.000): from 75,1pts before Tai Chi program to 83,1pts after one year of practicing. The average value of this parameter among women increased from 75,9pts to 83,1pts (p=0.000 ) and among men from 73,9pts to 83,0pts (p=0.000). The beneficial effect of 1 - year Tai Chi practice was observed in all examined health behavior categories (proper nutrition habits, preventive behavior, positive mental attitude as well as proper nutrition) in the entire group as well as in men and women separately. The improvement observed was statistically significant (p<0.05). Before starting the Tai Chi program the average score of Health Behavior Index was significantly lower when compared to the normat ive group (p=0.000) but after one year practice an improvement was observed and the level of statistically not significant difference was achieved (p=0.483). Conclusion: The beneficial effect of 1 - year Tai Chi training on overall improvement on health habi ts supports the need of further promotion of this physical activity among adults .

Background: Sense of coherence is believed to be the main indicator of health-oriented behavior. Therefore, it is interesting to find out to what extent the sense of coherence moderates health behavior of physical education teachers. Material/Methods: In order to address this issue, 477 physical education teachers were examined (n♀ = 235; n♂ = 242) aged 23-62 (M = 40.05; SD = 9.09). Three methods were used in the research. Antonovsky's The Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SOC-29), Health Behavior Inventory (HBI) by Juczynski and The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire by Cash. Results: Results indicate a positive role of the sense of coherence in adopting Prophylactic Behavior, Positive Psychological Attitudes and Health Practices. However, they do not confirm its role with regard to physical activity. Regression analysis showed that comprehensibility (♀:β = 0.20; p = 0.008; ♂:β= 0.16; p = 0.040) and manageability ( ♀:β= 0.27; p = 0.001) are likely to result in Positive Psychological Attitudes; and Fitness/Health Evaluation influences Fitness/Health Orientation ( ♀:β= 0.55; p = 0.000; ♂:β = 0.43; p = 0.000). Conclusions: The average indicator of subjects' health-seeking behavior indicates a need for intervention in terms of health promotion and education amongst PE teachers. Changes in educating PE teachers may also be advisable.

Wstęp. Zachowania zdrowotne to wszelkie zachowania lub ich brak, które mają związek ze zdrowiem i samopoczuciem człowieka. Zachowania zdrowotne można podzielić na sprzyjające zdrowiu oraz antyzdrowotne. Zachowania prozdrowotne służą wspieraniu zdrowia, zapobieganiu chorobie oraz wspomaganiu powrotu do zdrowia. Zachowania antyzdrowotne przyczyniają się do powstania zaburzeń stanu zdrowia. Cel. Celem pracy jest zbadanie poziomu umiejętności pacjentów z nadciśnieniem tętniczym w zakresie profilaktyki możliwych powikłań. Materiał i metody. Materiał badawczy uzyskano za pomocą sondażu diagnostycznego. Natomiast jako narzędzie wykorzystano kwestionariusz ankiety składający się z metryczki oraz części głównej badającej poziom umiejętności chorych z nadciśnieniem tętniczym. Kwestionariusz ankiety zawierał 20 pytań i były to pytania w formie zamkniętej. Badania przeprowadzono w okresie od maja do czerwca 2017 roku na Oddziale Kardiologii Specjalistycznego Szpitala Wojewódzkiego w Ciechanowie. Uczestniczyło w nim 100 pacjentów Oddziału Kardiologii, przy czym każdy uczestnik był osobą pełnoletnią. Respondenci otrzymali informacje dotyczące zasad wypełnienia kwestionariusza ankiety, a także zapewnienie o anonimowości zebranych danych. Wyniki. W prowadzonych badaniach nie wykazano korelacji pomiędzy wykształceniem, miejscem zamieszkania, aktywnością zawodową i czasem trwania choroby ankietowanych a ich poziomem umiejętności w zakresie profilaktyki powikłań. Wnioski. Mobilizacja pacjenta do samokontroli i obserwacji niepokojących objawów tworzy spójną całość w procesie terapeutycznym. Włączenie chorego do procesu leczniczego poprzez mobilizowanie do samokontroli pacjenta w domu a także przygotowanie oraz poinformowanie chorego o prawidłowości w wykonywaniu poszczególnych czynności podczas samodzielnych pomiarów ma ogromne znaczenie w leczeniu nadciśnienia tętniczego krwi.
