During the COVID-19 pandemic, both back pain and dyspnoea were symptoms that have been intensively studied by researchers as factors that could affect daily functioning. Education is one of the sectors of society most affected by the pandemic. The aim of the study was to assess the levels of dyspnoea and back pain in teachers in Poland and the United Kingdom in the first year after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Method. An online survey was conducted among 410 teachers in Poland and the United Kingdom. The degree of spinal disability was assessed using the ODI and NDI questionnaires, and the level of dyspnea was assessed using the MRC scale. Results. Back pain was present in less than half of the teachers surveyed. There were no statistically significant differences in the level of pain complaints between male teachers from Poland and the United Kingdom, while in the female group significantly more severe pain complaints were found in the teachers from Poland. Polish female teachers reported higher levels of dyspnoea. Dyspnoea is associated with the level of pain. Measures of pain or dyspnoea increase with age. Conclusions. In view of the results obtained, there is an urgent need to develop effective strategies to prevent back pain among teachers in Poland and the United Kingdom, and to improve working conditions. Dyspnoea is not a massive problem in the teacher population in Poland and the United Kingdom.","PeriodicalId":387674,"journal":{"name":"Medycyna Ogólna i Nauki o Zdrowiu","volume":"4 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141816005","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}

This review aims to define the phenomenon of the ‘second victim’ in the context of adverse medical events and to assess its impact on medical personnel. The prevalence of second victim syndrome is difficult to estimate, but research suggests that it may affect between 9% – 38.7% of healthcare workers. In addition, the review focuses on analyzing support strategies for mental health and the professional effectiveness of healthcare workers. Review Methods. The review comprised a systematic literature search in three main databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Brief description of the state of knowledge. Research indicates that medical personnel, as the second victim, experience psychological and physical symptoms after the event, such as constant guilt, loss of faith in professional skills, depression, suicidal thoughts, and professional burnout, as well as sleep or eating disorders. The phenomenon can also lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Equally important, the second victim syndrome negatively affects work efficiency, and the quality of patient care and may encourage staff to practice defensive medicine, increasing the costs and risk of making further mistakes. Providing support to protect healthcare workers from the long-term effects of the syndrome is crucial.
