The phenomenon of occupational burnout is a common factor affecting employees’ health. In a study on occupational burnout it may happen that variables that are not among the main predictors of burnout can noticeably affect burnout and the main independent variables. The aim of this study was to verify hypotheses about the role of demographic variables in explaining levels of stress and burnout, based on the example of men working as firefighters and 112 emergency operators. Materials and Method. A total of 823 men employed as firefighters and 112 emergency number operators were surveyed. The study applied the LINK Occupational Burnout Questionnaire, the PSS-10 Perceived Stress Scale and a demographic questionnaire. It was followed by an analysis of covariance of qualitative variables and quantitative predictors (ANCOVA). Results . The study showed that living in rural areas was associated with lower levels of burnout among the men in the examined group. A similar relationship was detected for marital status, having children and secondary education. The other main variable, the level of perceived stress and age, showed typical associations with occupational burnout. Conclusions . The search for the causes of occupational burnout should not be narrowed only to stressors related to the demands of the workplace. Demographic variables are important elements of an employee’s non-work environment and often a source of personal strengths. However, it should be remembered that the same factor can have both a protective function as well as a source of additional stress.","PeriodicalId":503587,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140448859","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}

Primary school pupils aged 10–12 years constitute an interesting consumer group due to their greater autonomy in the area of nutrition, compared to the younger group of children, among other things, due to their ‘pocket money’ and the greater influence of their peer group. However, this is an age group at high risk of inadequate nutrition, eating disorders, including those related to obesity and underweight. Hence, the aim of the study was to explore the attitudes of pupils aged 10–12 years towards food and nutrition. Materials and Method. A qualitative study was conducted using the Focus Group Interview (FGI) technique among 84 primary school pupils from different localities in Poland. Results. Pupils had moderate knowledge of food and nutrition but did not consistently apply this knowledge in practice. Four pupils’ profiles were identified, categorized as ‘engaged,’ ‘obedient,’ ‘rebels,’ and ‘indifferent,’ based on their level of involvement and awareness of proper nutrition. Lunch was the most regularly consumed meal, sometimes eaten twice a day (at school and at home), while first breakfast was skipped the most frequently, mainly because of lack of time and morning rush. Pupils accurately identified recommended and not recommended food products, but lacked an understanding of their importance for health. Pupils’ emotional state increased the consumption of salty snacks, sweets, and fast food, and to a lesser extent, seeds, vegetables, and fruit. Pupils reported engaging in moderate physical activity, although they also spent a significant amount of time on the internet or watching TV. Conclusions. Primary school pupils aged 10–12 years represented a relatively good level of knowledge about adequate nutrition; nevertheless, they did not follow these recommendations in practice.","PeriodicalId":503587,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139528325","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}

The COVID-19 pandemic had many direct and indirect effects, including lifestyle changes in all subpopulations, including children and adolescents. The aim of the study was to identify: 1) attitudes of students aged 7–12 years and their parents towards food, nutrition, and physical activity; 2) changes in the consumption of basic food products during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and method. A qualitative survey was conducted among students and their parents using the Focus Group Interview method, as well as quantitative research among parents and schoolchildren aged 10–12 years. Results. During the pandemic, changes were demonstrated in the eating habits of primary schoolchildren which were both positive and negative. Positive changes include a greater number of meals and their regularity, especially in relation to meals prepared at home, and a greater consumption of mainly fruit, and to a lesser extent vegetables and whole grain products. Among the negative changes observed were an increased consumption of salty snacks and sweets, including those prepared at home. Moreover, limiting physical activity during isolation may have resulted, as a long-term effect, in excessive body weight and obesity-related non-communicable diseases in children and adolescence, and later in adulthood. Conclusions. There is a need to develop post-pandemic support strategies addressed to both schoolchildren and their parents regarding adequate eating behaviours and physical activity.","PeriodicalId":503587,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139387779","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}
