Purpose. The study is aimed at showing the state of educational needs of physical education (PE) teachers in the light of the new educational program as well as presenting their opinions about the implementation of some elements of the up-to-date physical education didactics (on the example of teachers in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship). Basic procedures. The survey was conducted in March 2009 among 118 people (including 63 men and 55 women) - PE teachers of various working experience (1 to 36 years of work experience), from randomly chosen primary schools (PS) and secondary schools called gymnasium (G) in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. Main findings. The analysed views of PE teachers of primary schools and gymnasia of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship allow us to state that the teachers notice a need to use basic elements of the up-to-date physical education didactics. They expect concrete materials on the educational program of physical education for 2009. The highest percentage of PE teachers (up to ca. 80%) would like to make use of information on proposals for up-to-date forms of exercises, health-giving training and lifelong sporting activities. Over 70% of them feel the need for materials on pupils' activation and individualisation in PE classes and descriptions of how to use activating methods (ca. 68%). A high percentage, amounting up to 62%, think that these materials should concern methods in health education, and 58.5% (including 66.7% of PS and 50.8% of SS) want to learn about proposals for activities which develop pupils' health. Conclusions. Physical education teachers employed at elementary schools and gymnasia in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, regardless of sex and work experience, support the educational program of physical education. Regarding the usage of various diagnostic tools, it was found out that there are statistically significant differences between elementary school teachers and gymnasia ones. Physical education teachers, regardless of school type, sex and work experience, emphasize the need for training in the didactics of their subject and in health education.

Introduction Despite huge progress in the field of medicine and prevention, cardiovascular diseases remain the second most common cause of death in the European Union countries. One of the reasons for this not very optimistic (though decreasing) tendency seems to be ineffective education of patients. Material and methods The study sought to compare cardiac rehabilitation programmes in Poland and Portugal and to assess education of coronary patients who took part in the second phase of cardiac rehabilitation in institutions located in these two countries. A cardiac rehabilitation programme information card completed by a doctor or a physiotherapist as well as the authors’ own questionnaire that included questions regarding medical history and rehabilitation of patients, their knowledge about risk factor control and their opinions about education in the process of rehabilitation were employed in the study. Results Patients from both groups demonstrated the same low levels of knowledge about risk factor control. It was noted that cardiac rehabilitation programmes in the two countries under investigation were based on similar standards but differed in such aspects as specialists participating in these programmes, patients referred to them, particular risk factor control or methods of education. Conclusions 1. Cardiac rehabilitation programmes implemented in the examined institutions are based on the same standards but differ, inter alia, in terms of interventions applied to control particular risk factors. 2. The patients’ level of knowledge about modifiable risk factor control is the same in the Polish and Portuguese group and it differs considerably from the level described in the guidelines. 3. In both countries, doctors play the most significant role in educating patients.

Preparation of students for adult life also includes the area of health care. Health education is part of the core curriculum of Polish schools. The leading role of the health educator is assumed by the physical education teacher, but many other educational tasks are carried out by all school staff. The present study attempts to answer the question: How is health education implemented at school? The research project was carried out among students of various colleges in the city of Szczecin, Poland. At the same time, similar studies were conducted among students from other universities in other cities. The research method was a diagnostic survey, with the main assessment tool being the ‘Questionnaire for Assessment of Implementation of Physical Education at Secondary School’ by K. Górna-Łukasik. On the basis of the study results, an attempt was made to determine the forms and methods of work and the involvement of various types of teachers in health education. Relationships between students' opinions on the methods of implementing the curriculum content, fields of study and gender of physical education teachers were searched for. The study results demonstrate a low degree of implementation of these educational contents. The Polish school offers students few forms of preparation for taking care of their own health.

The article discusses the changes in carrying out health education introduced by the school curricular reform. The new podstawa programowa (curricular basis) introduces some important changes in health education by choosing Physical Education as the most suitable subject to deal with health education. Therefore, a physical education teacher becomes a person responsible for carrying out health education at school (a coordinator of activity). The article demonstrates the new role of the physical education teacher which requires the adequate students' preparation for their future careers as well as the appropriate training of the physical education teacher, in the scope of their knowledge, skills and attitude. The teacher's responsibility, genuineness and reliability are also emphasized, since, due to the new tasks, the teacher becomes a creator of healthy lifestyle at school.

Health education is the main, and at the same time, integral part of complementary health promotion. The main assumption underlying the essence of health education is an assertion that the health of individuals and, consequently, of communities they belong to is significantly conditioned by the behaviour of inter-subject variability, which can be pro-healthily shaped by the educational impact. Thanks to transferred knowledge, shaping attitudes and the acquisition of certain skills, patients receive help in coping with health problems which improves their well-being, satisfaction, and the process of recovery. The education of a patient has advantages either in the clinical or social field, hence, it is perceived as an inseparable part of a high-quality healthcare. The importance of health education has been also recognized as one of the main factors that determine the long-term health policy, which indirectly may be reflected in the reduction of costs in the healthcare. In the recent years, more and more emphasis has been placed on preventive and educational aspects of the healthcare. Family medicine, as the source of the initiation of shaping health-oriented attitudes, has a prominent place in the system organized in such a way. In patients' opinion, medical staff is the best and most reliable source of knowledge on health. Such expectations increase the importance of primary care physicians in preventing diseases and shaping health-oriented attitudes in a given society. The main task of a modern health education is primarily to support the creation of conditions for change, the growth competence of individuals and groups in the sphere of independent action for health at different levels of the organization of social life.

There are around 10.000 people in Poland who have undergone an organ transplantation at some point in their lives. This procedure allowed those people to enjoy regained health and successfully return to normal life, with the previously assigned roles at work, in their family and in society. Despite the advances in transplantation, a half of the people waiting for this form of treatment would die, since there are no organs to be transplanted. This state of affairs is caused by the low awareness among the Polish society. Polish people have very low confidence in this treatment method. They lack a basic understanding of the essential medical and legal procedures defining the organization of organ transplantation. Health educators should address concerns that emerge in society and to present a positive image of transplantation, as a science saving people’s lives. Educating young people about organ transplantation, since their earliest days at school, provides a chance to shape a positive attitude towards the issues of organ transplantation. This article attempts to answer the following questions: what is health education, organ transplantation, and what are the goals of the health education programs promoting organ transplantation?

It is well-known that the poor exercise habits characterizing modern civilization are a high risk factor in health. Countervailing them is the responsibility of all social subsystems. This study aims to observe the role of higher education within the framework of comprehensive research carried out at the University of Pannonia, Hungary. A course meeting university standards has been developed for students, the future opinion-shapers, which intends to strengthen the health consciousness, the basis of physical fitness. The objective of the article is to prove the effectiveness of the course and its impact on lifestyle through a longitudinal study. Accordingly, it aims to answer the following questions: Can a change be observed in the factors of students’ psychological and health-related quality of life? Does the health consciousness developed by the course result in a more efficient health-enhancing physical activity? Does broadening knowledge provide long-term motivation for maintaining an active lifestyle? The efficiency of the course has been evaluated through changes observed in the participating students’ quality of life and health consciousness using the following methods: survey (N= 479), in-depth interview (N= 86), and triangulation. The results of the study support the basic assumption that the knowledge acquired in the course contributes in the short run to the students planning their health-preserving life-coaching more consciously, while quality of life indicators change in the long run. Consequently, it has been determined that the transmission of knowledge through the course is an undertakeable and successful endeavor of higher education in the field of health education.

The goal of this paper is to explain the dependence between the political system of the state: collectivist, conservative, and liberal in a postmodern society, and public health-related practice. In the consideration of different systems of physical culture, including the system of health culture known as public health, Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems has been used. The social system of health culture, hitherto known as the system of public health, is acknowledged as a variety of social systems of physical culture, whereas the health gymnasion is one of many possible centers of habilitation, recreation, and rehabilitation of the body. It is argued that an educating society can only persist successfully if the state does not lose control in the struggle against the ideologues of neoliberal forces hostile to the solidarity-based and welfare state.

Health education consists in developing human knowledge, attitudes and skills and abilities, as well as in affecting human conduct in order to maintain or improve their state of health, whereas health promotion comprises propagation of a fit and healthy lifestyle including implementation of some prophylactic measures preventing the development of complaints, illnesses or diseases. Physiotherapists, who become health educators, play a significant role in attaining those objectives through undertaking some preventive measures; they also play a key part in encouraging their clients/patients to change their lifestyle and implement pro-health attitude towards life.

Wstęp: Obecnie międzynarodowe organizacje takie jak: WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA propagują całościowe podejście do podmiotu ukierunkowane na rozwiązywanie problemów życiowych, co nie ma odzwierciedlenia w edukacyjnych programach profilaktycznych. Należy wcześniej poznać poziom wiedzy odbiorców, aby dostosować przekazywane treści do potrzeb edukacji z zakresu problematyki schorzenia. Bardzo często stan ogólny i neurologiczny osoby po przebytym niedokrwiennym lub krwotocznym udarze nie pozwala na przekazanie zbyt dużego zakresu wiedzy. Znajomość przyczyn udaru przekłada się na zmniejszenie zapadalności, dlatego tak istotna jest świadomość dotycząca czynników jego ryzyka. Cel badań: Celem badań była ocena związku między poziomem wiedzy osób po przebytym udarze mózgu w zakresie prozdrowotnego postępowania po przebytym udarze mózgu a jakością ich życia. Materiał i metody: Badaniami objętych zostało 279 osób po pierwszym przebytym udarze mózgu. Do badania jakości życia użyto skróconą wersję Kwestionariusza Jakości Życia Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (WHOQOL – Bref). Do oceny poziomu wiedzy stworzono wskaźnik poziomu wiedzy chorych na temat postępowania prozdrowotnego po przebytym udarze mózgu. Wyniki: Najsilniejszą zależność zaobserwowano między poziomem wiedzy a dziedzinami jakości życia. W dziedzinie somatycznej (DOM1), socjalnej (DOM3) i środowiskowej (DOM4) stwierdzono zależności istotne statystycznie w grupie będącej 13-24 miesięcy od czasu jaki upłynął po wystąpieniu udaru. W dziedzinie psychologicznej (DOM2) odnotowano najsilniejszą zależność w grupie chorych będących 6-12 miesięcy od dnia zachorowania. Wnioski. Poziom wiedzy prozdrowotnej osób po przebytym udarze mózgu jest niesatysfakcjonujący. Wyższy poziom wiedzy skutkuje wyższą jakością życia.

Introduction: Nowadays, international organisations such as WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA support a holistic approach towards an individual, aimed at solving life problems, which is missing from educational prevention programmes. At first, the level of knowledge in the individuals should be defined in order to adjust the information concerning an ailment to educational needs. The overall and neurological state of the individual affected by stroke very frequently does not allow to convey much knowledge. Knowledge on stroke results in decreased incidence, which explains the necessity to raise awareness of risk factors for stroke. The aim: The aim of the research was to establish a connection between the level of knowledge of the ailment in people affected by stroke and their quality of life. Material and methods: The research included 279 people after stroke. Their quality of life was assessed using a shortened version of the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire. In order to assess the level of knowledge of health-supporting actions after stroke, an indicator of knowledge was created. Results: The strongest dependence in the somatic (DOM1), social (DOM3) and environmental fields (DOM4) was observed in the group of people between 13 and 24 months after falling ill. The strongest dependence in the psychological field (DOM2) was observed in the group of people between 6 and 12 months after the incident. Conclusion: The level of health-supporting knowledge in people affected by stroke is not satisfactory. A higher level of knowledge results in a higher quality of life.

Wstęp. Edukacja zdrowotna to proces kształtowania u ludzi nawyku dbania o swoje zdrowie. Zadaniem pielęgniarki jest przygotowanie pacjenta przewlekle chorego i jego rodziny do samoopieki i samopielęgnacji na każdym etapie choroby, również w okresie terminalnym. Niezbędne jest kształtowanie umiejętności radzenia sobie z chorobą i niepełnosprawnością oraz udzielanie wsparcia psychicznego. Cel. Celem badań była analiza opinii respondentów na temat wybranych aspektów edukacji zdrowotnej prowadzonej przez pielęgniarkę w odniesieniu do pacjenta przewlekle chorego. Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzono wśród czynnych zawodowo pielęgniarek i pielęgniarzy. Wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, technikę ankietowania oraz autorski kwestionariusz ankiety. Wyniki. Większość respondentów podkreśla konieczność systematycznych działań pielęgniarek podejmowanych przez pielęgniarkę w ramach edukacji zdrowotnej pacjenta przewlekle chorego. Wnioski. Zdecydowana większość pielęgniarek potwierdza, że edukacja zdrowotna pacjenta przewlekle chorego jest konieczna. Niezbędne jest jednak zwiększenie nacisku na profesjonalne przygotowanie pielęgniarek do roli edukatora w ramach kształcenia przeddyplomowego i podyplomowego.

Problems connected with teething have been frequently described over the years and considered as the causative agent of many childhood illnesses. Myths concerning such a process exist in many cultures, often with their reference in the literature in the form of so-called “parental beliefs” about the problem. Most often they are related to the process of deciduous teeth eruption, local or general symptoms but also ways of pain relieve. Furthermore, these researches are scarce and carried out mainly in underdeveloped countries, such as Nigeria or Sudan. Currently, the dentists classify to local symptoms associated with the deciduous teeth eruption, inter alia: mucosal bruising, gingival inflammation around the erupting tooth or mechanical injuries caused by inserting into the mouth different items by the child. However, the most common general symptoms include: excessive drooling, sleep disorders or anxiety. More frequently, the process of teething met with great interest among paediatricians, dentists as well as parents who recognize this time as an important moment in their child’s life. At present, parents have an opportunity to reduce the unpleasant local symptoms using local massage of the gums, teething rings and ointments or gels containing analgesics. However, one should always remember to consult dentist or paediatrician before administration of analgesics in the child. The article discusses the basic ways to alleviate the pain associated with teething.

Na przestrzeni lat dolegliwości związane z ząbkowaniem były często opisywane. Uznawano je nawet za przyczynę wielu chorób okresu dziecięcego. Mity dotyczące tego procesu obecne są w wielu kulturach, często mają swoje odniesienie w piśmiennictwie w postaci tzw. „przekonań rodziców”. Najczęściej dotyczą one przebiegu wyrzynania się zębów mlecznych, objawów miejscowych bądź ogólnych, ale również sposobów łagodzenia bólu. Ponadto badania na ten temat są niezbyt liczne i prowadzone głównie w krajach słabo rozwiniętych, takich jak Nigeria czy Sudan. Obecnie lekarze stomatolodzy do objawów miejscowych związanych z wyrzynaniem się zębów mlecznych zaliczają między innymi zasinienie błony śluzowej, zapalenie dziąseł wokół wyrzynającego się zęba czy urazy mechaniczne spowodowane wkładaniem przez dziecko do jamy ustnej przedmiotów, zaś do objawów ogólnych – nadmierne ślinienie się dziecka, zaburzenia snu czy niepokój. Coraz częściej jednak proces ząbkowania spotyka się z dużym zainteresowaniem wśród pediatrów, dentystów, a także rodziców, uznających ten okres za ważny moment w życiu ich dziecka. Obecnie rodzice mają możliwość ograniczenia nieprzyjemnych objawów miejscowych różnymi metodami, począwszy od masażu dziąseł, poprzez podawanie dziecku gryzaczków, a na stosowaniu maści i preparatów w postaci żelu zawierających środki przeciwbólowe skończywszy. Należy jednak pamiętać, że podawanie dziecku leków przeciwbólowych powinno być zawsze konsultowane ze stomatologiem bądź pediatrą. W artykule omówiono podstawowe sposoby łagodzenia bólu związanego z ząbkowaniem.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Only in 2012 it accounted for 17.5 million deaths. Although it affects both sexes, every year more women die due to CVD, more than due to all cancers, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. The risk factors, symptoms and course of CVD in women and men often differ, which makes early proper diagnosis and treatment more difficult. Despite being a major threat for women, the level of awareness and knowledge on the gender-specific picture of CVD, both among females and within the medical environment, remains staggeringly low. Introducing a new gender-tailored health education and prevention model, adjusted to the medical, socio-cultural, technological expectations and needs of contemporary women, to their modern lifestyle and pace of life, could constitute an attractive and more effective alternative to initiatives undertaken so far targeting the general population. E- and m-health tools seem to have a promising potential in educating and supporting contemporary women in their everyday health management. Applying Internet-based solutions together with a gender-oriented approach could increase the level of knowledge and CVD awareness among women, lead to improvement of their heart health and contribute to a reduction in the medical-social-economic burden of CVD in women.

Choroby sercowo-naczyniowe (ChSN) stanowią najczęstszą przyczynę zgonów na świecie. Tylko w roku 2012 z powodu ChSN zmarło 17,5 miliona osób. Mimo że problem ten dotyczy przedstawicieli obu płci, każdego roku więcej kobiet umiera z powodu chorób układu krążenia. Śmiertelność z powodu ChSN w tej grupie jest wyższa niż z powodu nowotworów, gruźlicy, HIV/AIDS i malarii łącznie. Symptomatyka i przebieg ChSN u mężczyzn i kobiet są często odmienne, w przypadku kobiet objawy są często mniej charakterystyczne i w związku z tym trudniejsze do wczesnego rozpoznania i leczenia. Poziom wiedzy i świadomości na temat specyfiki ChSN u kobiet w Polsce jest wciąż ograniczony i często trudno dostępny – zwłaszcza wśród samych zainteresowanych. Wprowadzenie nowego modelu edukacji i prewencji, skierowanego wyłącznie do kobiet, skrojonego do ich potrzeb: biologicznych, medycznych, technologicznych, estetycznych, uwzględniającego społeczno-kulturowe uwarunkowania i oczekiwania może stanowić wartościową i bardziej skuteczną strategię prewencji ChSN w tej populacji. Ponadto wykorzystanie w tym modelu nowych technologii, w tym narzędzi e- oraz m-zdrowia, bardziej dopasowanych do mobilnego stylu i tempa życia współczesnej kobiety, w profilaktyce ChSN mogłoby przyczynić się do zwiększenia wiedzy i świadomości na temat kobiecego profilu ChSN, poprawy sytuacji zdrowotnej kobiet w Polsce, a tym samym do redukcji medyczno-ekonomicznego i społecznego ciężaru ChSN w tej populacji.

Up to the ’70 one noticed mainly positive infl uence of solar radiation, and its component UV radiation. Only in next decade solar radiation was recognized as a main cause of many pathological skin changes, herein malicious tumor. At the same time there was a belief that using sun bathing beds is safe in relation to solar radiation. Nowadays in many countries it is recommended to popularize knowledge about the dangers of solariums, especially among youth. United States and Germany implemented restrictions forbidding under aged using sun beds without parental consent. Great Britain or Sweden are planning similar restrictions. Due to the latest scientifi c research published by the Lancet Oncology, starting using solarium sun bathing under 30 increases the skin cancer probability up to 70%. It was also proved that every solar radiation is carcinogenic, even though previously only UV-UVB was thought as carcinogenic.

Do lat 70-tych XX wieku dostrzegano głównie pozytywne aspekty oddziaływania promieniowania słonecznego, w tym i jego składowej - promieniowania ultrafi oletowego (UV) na zdrowie, propagowano właściwości przeciwkrzywicze światła słonecznego w kontekście roli jaką odgrywa w produkcji witaminy D3. Dopiero w następnym dziesięcioleciu promieniowanie słoneczne zostało uznane za czynnik sprawczy wielu zmian patologicznych w obrębie skóry, w tym nowotworów złośliwych. Jednocześnie uznawano, iż korzystanie z łóżek opalających jest bezpieczne w relacji do promieniowania słonecznego. Obecnie w wielu krajach zaleca się upowszechnianie wiedzy o potencjalnym niebezpieczeństwie opalania w solariach, zwłaszcza wśród młodzieży. W Stanach Zjednoczonych i Niemczech już wprowadzono restrykcyjne zakazy uniemożliwiające korzystanie z łóżek opalających przez młodzież do 18 roku życia, bez zgody opiekunów. Podobne obostrzenia są planowane w innych krajach np. Wielkiej Brytanii, Szwecji. W świetle najnowszych doniesień naukowych opublikowanych w Lancet Oncology szacuje się iż u osób, które zaczynają korzystać z solarium przed ukończeniem 30-go roku życia, ryzyko zachorowania na raka skóry wzrasta do 70%. Wykazano ponadto, że wszystkie typy promieniowania ultrafioletowego są rakotwórcze, podczas gdy dotąd sądzono, że niebezpieczny jest tylko jeden typ promieniowania UV – UVB.
