Anorexia is an eating disorder, which affects 14/100 000 people each year. Currently, influence of social media contributes to promoting anorectic behavior. Despite of increasing number of pro-ana websites, the scale of phenomenon were not studied. Objectives. The aim of this study is the assessment of methods used to present anorexia in audiovisual media and social reactions evoked by delivered content. Material and methods. Data used in study included 150 videos submitted to YouTube in 2009-2017 and classified as promoting anorexia (n = 75) or as educational materials (n = 75). Videos were assessed for technical aspects, content and dynamics distribution (comments, like ratio and views number). Results. In both groups of audiovisual materials, women were the authors of 96% videos. Despite of higher views number in educational materials, both pro-ana and educational materials did not significantly differ in like ratio (p = 0.11). Significant difference was observed in presentation of content (p < 0.05). 93.3% authors of pro-ana videos have previously published pro-ana or suicidal content on their channel. Moreover, 75% comments for pro-ana videos were related to the willingness to join pro-ana groups. Conclusions. Regardless of significant differences in content presentation and views number, both pro-ana and educational materials, are characterized by similar dynamics of social reactions. Obtained results confirm problem of promoting anorexia through modern social media and suggest possibility of using social media as a tool in work with anorexia patients.","PeriodicalId":52931,"journal":{"name":"Pielegniarstwo i Zdrowie Publiczne","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41931529","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}

{"title":"Physical activity of College of Rehabilitation students","authors":"P. Dziedzic","doi":"10.17219/PZP/79704","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17219/PZP/79704","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Physical activity is one of the most important aspects of health behavior. Medical students in particular should be aware of the positive effects of regular physical activity. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of physical activity among physiotherapy students. Material and methods. The study covered 100 full-time and part-time students of the College of Rehabilitation in Warsaw, Poland. The study was conducted by means of a diagnostic survey. The technique used was a survey questionnaire. Analysis of the results was made by comparing groups of students depending on the course of studies, i.e., full-time and part-time. Results. Regular physical activity was practiced by 64% of the subjects, while 36% were physically inactive. The percentage of active students was higher in fulltime students (76.4%), while the percentage of part-time students engaging in physical activity was 51%. The frequency of physical activity was significantly higher in the group of full-time students than in the group of part-time students. Briefly, 27.5% of full-time students participated in physical activity 4–5 times a week, 35.3% 3 times a week (35.3%) and (15.7%) sporadically, while most of part-time students exercised sporadically (44.9%). Conclusions. Physiotherapy students exhibit insufficient levels of physical activity which, given the specificity of their chosen field of study, indicates points to the need for action to shape health behaviors. Full-time students were more active, which may result from having more free time (part-time students reported lack of time due to work or care for children as a cause of insufficient physical activity).","PeriodicalId":52931,"journal":{"name":"Pielegniarstwo i Zdrowie Publiczne","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42751486","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}

Michalik","doi":"10.17219/PZP/85359","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17219/PZP/85359","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Prenatal diagnostics is one of the most important achievements of modern perinatology. We can obtain important information about the risks to the fetus in early pregnancy and take appropriate preventive or curative measures. It is estimated that in the general population, 2–4% of live births are diagnosed with at least one congenital malformation. The incidence of genetically determined diseases and deficiencies make aware how many families are affected by psychological and social problems. Objectives. The aim of the study was to recognize pregnant women’s opinion about prenatal diagnosis. Material and methods. The clinical material included 105 pregnant women who underwent prenatal diagnosis: 79 of them were at risk of congenital malformation (Group A), while 26 had no direct medical indication for prenatal diagnosis (Group B). The study was conducted using a questionnaire survey (Genetic Risk Perception Questionnaire, Prenatal Diagnostic Positive Questionnaire, and Pregnancy Diagnostic Questionnaire; Kornas-Biela). The statistical analysis was based on statistical software STATISTICA 10. Results. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of age, number of children and time needed for reflection between obtaining information about the possibility of being diagnosed and a decision made. There was a statistically significant dependence between the number of children possessed and the probability of termination of pregnancy. Conclusions. Prenatal diagnosis is accepted by pregnant women. Pregnant women approve prenatal examinations even if the abnormality is not possible to treat. Both group felt anxiety on the same level. Women who have children consider Women who have children consider performing abortion in the case of confirmed fetus malformation as unacceptable.","PeriodicalId":52931,"journal":{"name":"Pielegniarstwo i Zdrowie Publiczne","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44647884","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}

{"title":"Application of medical standards in the work of professional nurses in a private healthcare facility","authors":"Małgorzata Martewicz","doi":"10.17219/pzp/75492","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17219/pzp/75492","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Healthcare facilities are organizations continually striving to improve the quality of services they provide. Medical staff play a vitally important role in healthcare facilities and are largely responsible for the unique character of their services. Nurses are the most valuable resource of any healthcare system. Their skills, dedication, motivation, and professional competencies determine the quality of the service. It would be impossible to ensure the provision of adequate nursing care without defining its methods and guiding principles. Medical standards and procedures are tools helping to manage a healthcare facility effectively. They are a strategic element of the process of continuous improvement of the quality of service as they serve as models in their planning and evaluation. Objectives. To gain a better understanding of service standardization in medical care and to find out whether such solutions are being used in nursing practice and whether they are helpful in the work of professional nurses. Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 25 nurses employed in an existing health care facility. They had to answer 32 questions in a questionnaire designed by the author of this paper. The questions concerned the respondents’ familiarity with standards and procedures, their practical application and the impact they have on the quality of service. Results. The results of this research project show that the central question, i.e., “Are medical standards and procedures being followed in the healthcare facility which employs you?” was answered affirmatively. Conclusions. All nurses in the group showed interest in the issue of the quality of healthcare services. They claimed that the introduction and application of procedures and standards of nursing care enables the improvement of the quality of service. Most of the nurses from the study group know what standard of medical care is, and apply and observe in practice the procedures and standards of nursing care, fulfilling the recommendations and requirements set by the employing healthcare facility.","PeriodicalId":52931,"journal":{"name":"Pielegniarstwo i Zdrowie Publiczne","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45801696","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}

{"title":"Issues faced by parents in taking care of the prematurely born child after hospital discharge","authors":"Agnieszka Kruszecka-Krówka, A. Gniadek, A. Jonas","doi":"10.17219/PZP/82941","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17219/PZP/82941","url":null,"abstract":"Background. The nature of health and care-related problems in preterm babies requires specific knowledge, competences and skills from the parents or carers, especially once the child has been discharged from hospital. It is also necessary to ensure that highly-specialised care provided to the child during their stay at the hospital is continued. Objectives. The aim of the the study was to determine the issues of parents in taking care of a prematurely born child after hospital discharge. Material and methods. Study participants were parents of preterm babies examined at the Outpatient Centre at the Neonatology Clinic of the University Hospital in Kraków. The study involved 60 respondents. The research method used was a diagnostic survey with the use of an original questionnaire. Results. Most parents did not feel theoretically or practically prepared to take care of the child after hospital discharge, and at the time of discharge from hospital the respondents usually felt happy and anxious at the same time. The respondents thought that biggest issue with regard to looking after a premature baby was feeding and nursing the child, as well as ensuring continued provision of highly-specialised care, mainly rehabilitation. Conclusions. The concept of holistic care provided to newborns at intensive neonatological care units requires the medical team to develop and implement educational programmes for parents, directed at the individual needs of the child and their parents. Provision of support to the parents at every stage of the child’s hospitalisation, as well as after hospital discharge, should be considered a necessity.","PeriodicalId":52931,"journal":{"name":"Pielegniarstwo i Zdrowie Publiczne","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46685565","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}

As stated by the WHO, overweight and obesity are increasing health problems of childhood. In Poland, obesity affects 2–12,3% of children, depending on their age and gender. Well-child care is an important element of the control of abnormal values of children’s body mass. Objectives. The aim of this study was an evaluation of the prevalence of abnormal body mass in the group of children aged 6 and a retrospective analysis of the occurrence of abnormal values of body mass in the same group of children when they were 4 years old. Material and methods. The analysis included a study of well-child care cards of 69 children who were under medical care in a GP practice. There were 34 girls and 35 boys in the studied population. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each child. The results were compared to the WHO growth charts and the charts of the OLAF and OLA projects. Results. According to the WHO growth charts, in the analyzed group, body mass deficiency was found in 2.9% of children aged 4, overweight was observed in 8.7% of those children and 5.8% of them suffered from the obesity. Body mass deficiency was observed in 2.9% of children at the age of 6, overweight in 14.5% and obesity in 13%. BMI values below the 5th centile were observed more frequently when OLAF and OLA growth charts were used. Conclusions. The abnormal body mass occurred more frequently among girls. Along with the age of the child, the prevalence of excess body mass was increasing. The excess body mass was diagnosed more often when WHO growth charts were used. The abnormal body mass was related not only to weight deficiency, but also to excess body mass.","PeriodicalId":52931,"journal":{"name":"Pielegniarstwo i Zdrowie Publiczne","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46570351","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}
