Introduction The objective of the study was to assess health behaviours in a group of cardiac patients after implantation of cardioverter-defibrillator and to assess the correlation between health behaviours and selected sociodemographic and clinical variables. Health behaviours are an essential element of daily activities in every human’s life; if they are positive, they may improve health. A growing significance of health behaviours such as proper eating habits, preventive measures, health practices and a positive mental attitude can be observed in cardiac patients. Material and methods The study was carried out in a group of 176 patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillator. The average age of respondents was 62.36 (SD=15.41). The study group consisted mainly of men (78.41%). The study was carried out with the application of a self-designed questionnaire and Health Behaviour Inventory according to Juczyński.ResultsThe vast majority of respondents (71.02%) were characterized by a high level of health behaviours. The highest intensity of health behaviours was observed in the case of health practices (average score 4.09; SD=0.63). The lowest score was obtained in the sphere of proper eating habits (average score 3.62; SD=0.77). Variables: age, gender, marital status, education, professional activity, living with family, support or ischaemic heart disease had a significant impact on particular categories of health behaviours Conclusions The vast majority of respondents reported a high level of health behaviours. The aspect which was scored the highest by patients was health practices, contrary to proper eating habits. There was a significant correlation between health behaviours and selected variables.

Aim Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy provides a means of feeding patients when natural oral intake is impossible. Appropriate PEG care not only prevents complications but also improves patients’ comfort and their quality of life. Aim An analysis of the correlation between nurses’ knowledge about care provided to PEG patients and their sense of self-efficacy. Material and methods The study was conducted in a group of 85 nurses participating in various forms of postgraduate courses dedicated to nurses from Małopolska region. It was carried out with the application of Generalized Self- -Efficacy Scale (GSES) and a specially designed questionnaire consisting of two parts, first of which was focused on basic sociodemographic data, whereas the other one included questions checking the level of knowledge about taking care of patients with PEG. Results The average score obtained by the respondents in the test checking their knowledge was 17.9 (SD=6.80), and the high or average level of knowledge about taking care of PEG patients was observed in the case of 32.94% of respondents (n=28). No statistically significant correlation was found between nurses’ knowledge and their sense of self-efficacy (p>0.05). Conclusions 1. The level of nurses’ knowledge about taking care of patients with PEG is unsatisfactory. 2. The type of nurses’ professional education and their workplace had a significant impact on their level of knowledge about taking care of patients with PEG. 3. It is necessary to constantly improve the qualifications of the nursing staff in the care of patients with PEG.
