Introduction. The aim of the work was to define the level of contentment with the realisation of partial satisfactions of female and male 1st-year students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Biala Podlaska, the University of Physical Education in Warsaw (FPES) demonstrating a high or low level of the quality of life. Material and methods. 44 women and 161 men were examined. At the first stage of the research the level of the quality of life was defined with the use of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). At the second stage the level of contentment with the realisation of partial satisfactions of people with a high or low level of the quality of life was examined. The level of contentment with partial satisfactions was measured by means of a questionnaire in which partial satisfactions were grouped in 5 categories: social, material, environmental, health and other satisfactions. Statistically significant differences were defined with the use of Pearson's chi-square test (χ2), taking values lower than the significance level p<0.05 as statistically significant. Results. There occur statistically significant differences in the levels of contentment with the realisation of partial satisfactions of female and male students revealing a high or low level of the quality of life. Better material conditions, contentment with the way of spending free time, one's own life achievements and health are conducive to reaching a high level of the quality of life among students. Over 70% of the examined academic youth with a high level of the quality of life perceive their life as great and successful and the conditions in a family as positive. Over 60% of female students and 30% of male students from this group have very strong family bonds. Conclusions. The level of contentment with the realisation of partial satisfactions is connected with the system of values of an individual. Positive and strong family bonds favour a high level of the quality of life. The system of cultural institutions in Biala Podlaska as a university town should be developed more dynamically.

Introduction. The aim of the paper was to determine the level of diversity in selected personal resources and deficits of students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (FPES) of the University of Physical Education in Warsaw, who exhibit diversity in the level of their quality of life. Material and methods. 205 persons participated in the study. By means of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the level of the respondents' quality of life was determined. Next, the diversity of personal resources level and deficits in relation to the diverse level of life were defined. Personal resources and deficits were determined by means of the following research methods: Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI), Hope for Success Questionnaire (KNS), Generalised Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Life Orientation Test (LOT-R), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Value Crisis Questionnaire (KKW). Results. High level of the quality of life was determined in one out of four students. The academic youth characterised by high level of the quality of life were more extrovert, optimistic, success driven and self-assured. On the other hand, they exhibited low level of neuroticism, value crisis and depressive disorders. Conclusions. The academic youth ought to be supported in their search for values and the meaning of life by modifications in curricula so as to actively stimulate the development of students' personal resources co-determining their high quality of life.

In Poland cholecystolithiasis is the most frequent cause of surgical treatment and a significant growth in the number of cholecystectomies has been observed since the laparoscopic method was introduced. Recently there has been noted an increased interest in such issues as the quality of life connected with health and the impact of particular therapeutic methods on the quality of patients' lives.In order to measure the quality of life, the instruments (forms) - or so-called health profiles are used. In respect of this quality of life, one of the forms mostly acknowledged in the world is the questionnaire SF36, which is also applied in the field of the gall-bladder surgery.The aim of the study was to compare the quality of patients' lives before and after the surgical treatment of cholecystolithiasis with the use of the classical and the laparoscopic methods by means of the SF36 form.Material and methods. The research was conducted among patients treated in the Surgery Department of the Hospital in Mielec from June 2005 to June 2006.The patients were divided into two groups: A - 42 people are the patients treated by the classical method of cholecystecomy, B - 46 people are the patients subjected to the laparoscopic method of cholecystecomy. Both groups of patients fulfilled the questionnaire twice: first, before the surgical procedure, and then three months after the operation. Additionally, during the second survey, the patients estimated subjective alteration of the quality of life three months after the surgery.Results. A statistically significant increase in the physical and mental components as well as in a total quality of life was stated in both groups. A higher increase in the general quality of life was estimated in the group of patients treated by the laparoscopic method. In the subjective estimation of the alteration of the quality of life three months after surgery, there was also recognized the growth of it in both groups of patients.Conclusions. An increase in the life quality of the patients with diagnosed cholecystolithiasis has been observed after both methods of cholecystectomy respectively. A greater increase of this quality analyzed by means of the questionnaire SF36® has been noticed in case of the laparoscopic method especially in the physical component.

The aim of this article is to discuss selected scales of measuring functional capabilities and their importance in diagnosis and evaluating patients’ treatment process. In clinical practice during routine examination it is not easy to perform reliable and quick assessment of patients’ functional capabilities and, due to this fact, it is often omitted. However, evaluating this ability is very important, both in diagnosis and in treatment of various diseases, for example osteoporosis, hypertension, neurological diseases, etc. At the moment there is no evidence that one method of functional assessment is better than the other. Selection should be performed dechopending on patients’ age, health status, type of disease, their fi tness and mental status, individual needs (prevention, treatment, evaluation of the eff ects) or, fi nally, on specifi c conditions during the examination.

Celem niniejszej pracy jest omówienie wybranych skal oceny funkcjonalnej oraz ich znaczenia w diagnostyce i ocenie procesu leczenia pacjentów. W praktyce lekarskiej podczas rutynowego badania nie jest łatwo w rzetelny i szybki sposób dokonać oceny sprawności czynnościowej pacjenta i dlatego też często ten aspekt jest pomijany. A przecież ocena tej sprawności jest bardzo ważna zarówno w diagnostyce, jak i leczeniu wielu chorób, na przykład w osteoporozie, schorzeniach układu sercowo-naczyniowego, schorzeniach neurologicznych itd. W chwili obecnej nie ma jednoznacznych dowodów potwierdzających wyższość jednej metody oceny funkcjonalnej nad innymi. Ich dobór powinien odbywać się w zależności od wieku pacjentów, ogólnego stanu zdrowia, rodzaju schorzenia, sprawności fi - zycznej i umysłowej, indywidualnych potrzeb (profi laktyka, leczenie, ocena przebiegu usprawniania) czy też warunków, jakimi dysponuje osoba przeprowadzająca tę ocenę.
