The Roman Catholic Church generally condemns the issue of suicide as annihilation is against religious principles and commandments. In a civilization where people suffering from mental disorders are often stigmatized, people seek help from their loved ones or where there is a secret (e.g. confession), so the church can and does have a significant role in the prevention of suicidal behavior . Religion is important in shaping the awareness and identity of believers, and a priest can be a mentor showing the way of development, caring for the well-being and strengthening the mental health of an individual.

Previous studies have indicated severale consequences observed in young people: mental health disorders, attention deficits and in task efficiency, deterioration of peer relations, moods of sadness and depression (e.g. Bigaj, Dębski, 2020; Ghosh et al., 2020; Grzelak, 2020; Pyżalski, 2020a). However, negative symptoms do not affect the general student population. It is therefore important to identify the factors supporting adolescents in coping with the crisis and factors that increase the risk of a decline in mental condition. \u0000Method: In this context, a study was conducted to answer the question about the type and intensity of specific symptoms of mental crisis in adolescents examined during a pandemic. It was also checked whether the variation in the severity of symptoms was accompanied by differences in psychosocial factors important for coping with the crisis, while controlling the gender variable. The study covered a group of 1,514 students from 7th and 8th grades of primary schools and secondary schools. The Scale of the impact of COVID-19 and home isolation on children and adolescents by Mireia Orgilés, Alexander Morales and José Pedro Espada was used, as well as a survey to diagnose protective factors and risk factors for problem behaviors in adolescents. \u0000Results: Most young people do not notice changes in their physical and mental well-being after the period of home isolation and the Covid-19 pandemic. On the other hand, a significant group of about one third of the respondents experienced a deterioration in their psychophysical condition. The factors that accompanied the different effects of the pandemic and differentiate young people with strong symptoms of a mental crisis from those who do not experience negative effects are: the quality of peer relations, the quality of the relationship with teachers and the tutors, the type of contact with parents, school and class climate. \u0000Conclusions: The Covid-19 pandemic and home isolation were accompanied by negative psychophysical changes in approximately one third of adolescents. The pandemic itself, however, is not a direct cause of these changes. What is important here is the contribution of psychosocial factors that make up the conditions in which young people functioned during the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129051454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the positive correlations were observed between mental resilience, spirituality level, and positive attitude towards body in both female and male groups. Young females compared to the examined males were less satisfied with their appearance, experienced enhanced mental symptoms, and worse assessed their competence to cope with daily difficulties.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131358772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a question is particularly relevant in the context of the war’s proximity to Poland, a bordering nation to both Russia and Ukraine. \u0000War means human tragedies, so it becomes important to have behavioural models for extremely dramatic situations. It is worth being reminded of heroes who had stayed true to their ideals even in the face of death. August Emil Fieldorf „Nil”, a leader in the Polish anti-Nazi resistance movement, was one such hero as he had been killed by the Soviet regime’s collaborators after WWII. \u0000The General was a Polish patriot who sacrificed his life for his homeland. What is most striking in his biography is his heroism. This qualifies him as a perfect personality model in upbringing towards higher values. \u0000In this paper it has been shown that General August Emil Fieldorf, an Indomitable Soldier, is a mature personal model, which can motivate the young generation to follow him. Maturity has been defined with a personality approach according to Zdzisław Chlewiński (1991), using the three following criteria: considering a man as a person, autonomy in thinking, ability to asses own motivations. \u0000It has been analysed how to motivate the youths to follow the General regarding the maturity. It has been demonstrated that the General’s example may motivate if one of the three following upbringing strategies is used: dissonance, witnessing, stimulation. \u0000The author has used Fieldorf’s biographies. It has been emphasized that the process of forming his personality had been very dynamic and lasted his whole life.

It should be emphasized that the first fruits of obstetrics are the midwife - self-taught, who devoted herself to this activity spontaneously. She rushed to the aid of a woman in labor and passed on the experience gained to her successors, often daughters, through demonstrations and oral transmission. It must not be forgotten that these were women with inborn abilities, who, learning in the school of life, through accurate and correct reasoning, achieved extensive experience and proficiency in obstetrics. \u0000 The aim of this study is to outline the history of the profession, or rather the vocation, of a midwife, from antiquity, through the Middle Ages, to the beginning of the twentieth century of modern time.

The conducted research was a pilot study. \u0000The statistical analysis included the results of studies conducted among 44 individuals in late adulthood and 41 individuals in middle adulthood. The average age among seniors was 67 years and in the control group – 35 years. The respondents resided in the Małopolska Province. The study used the Problematic Use of the Internet Test in the Polish adaptation by Ryszard Poprawa. This tool makes it possible to identify the severity of symptoms of problematic Internet use (Poprawa, 2011). In addition, the Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress - Mini-COPE and the IPIP-BFM-20 Questionnaire were used. The results of the analyses showed no significant differences in the severity of problematic Internet use and the personality structure between the studied group of seniors and people in middle adulthood. Significant differences were found in the aspect of coping with stress. Specifically, people in late adulthood obtained significantly lower results on the sense of humour subscale and significantly higher results on the subscale of religious coping than people in middle adulthood.
