Aim of the study: Continuous scientific progress and the development of genetics have opened up new possibilities in the field of cancer prevention by detecting DNA mutations that increase oncological risk. In the case of high risk, special recommendations are addressed to the carriers of gene mutations and they concern, inter alia, surgical prophylactic procedures – mastectomy and adnexectomy. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sexual satisfaction, partner satisfaction and body assessment in women with the BRCA mutation depending on the preventive surgery performed by them that reduce cancer risk. Material and methods: The study involved 310 women with the BRCA genetic mutation and were healthy at the time of the study. The study lasted 7 months and the variables were measured using the Sexual Satisfaction Sale for Women (SSS WR15), the Matched Marriage Questionnaire (KDM-2), the Body Esteem Scale (BES) and the questionnaire enabling the collection of sociodemographic data and information related to cancer history and preventive operations performed. Results: The conducted analysis showed significant differences between the patients depending on the preventive surgery performed in terms of sexual attractiveness, weight control and all dimensions of partner and sexual satisfaction. Discussion: The results obtained are consistent with the results of studies conducted in other countries. Conclusions: It has been proven that there are relationships between body assessment and sexual satisfaction as well as between body assessment and relationship satisfaction, and that there are differences in these areas between the groups of women who performed preventive mastectomy, adnexectomy, both procedures or none.

The studies presented here were aimed at answering the following questions: do voluntary migrants, when deciding to cross borders illegally, take into account the risk of losing their life, how much they fear it, and whether personality traits, such as sensation seeking or self-esteem and culture worldview, are associated with the fear of death. The research covered 16 voluntary migrants. A psychological interview and observation were used. Attempts were made to explain the fear of death and the related behaviours of migrants on the basis of two theories: sensation seeking theory by M. Zuckerman and terror management theory by Greenberg, Pyszczynski and Solomon. It turned out that the subjects rarely considered the risk of losing health or life on their way to the EU, and the level of fear of death was low, especially in men. The existence of relationships between the level of anxiety and sensation seeking, self-esteem and worldview has been noticed. The level of fear in women can be explained by their age, life experience, way of making decisions and awareness of dangers along the route to the UE. Women thought about passing away more often because they encountered the death of their relatives more often. Men often made decisions on an impulse. The contemplating death, second aspect of the thanatological attitude was absent in them. They had higher self-esteem than women, a more stable culture worldview, and a higher sensation seeking and propensity for risky behavior. These personality traits may have diminished the fear of death. voluntary and forced migrants; fear, death; attitudes

Until recently, only some psychotherapists have used a remote form of contact with their patients. The COVID-19 pandemic Has changed this situation, as the experience of life and health threats has resulted in many therapists choosing to work remotely with patients. Working online for psychotherapists poses new challenges and ethical questions. Many practitioners, when looking for answers to bothering questions arising from the clinical practice of working with patients remotely, look for answers in Professional codes of ethics or in the guidelines of therapeutic associations. This article is a review of 52 codes of ethics from different countries on five continents in terms of looking for norms and principles that provide an ethical framework for online psychotherapeutic work. Additionally, the guidelines and recommendations of selected Professional psychotherapeutic associations were analyzed. These societies, in additional Communications or statements, also introduce temporary ethical criteria, guidelines and good ethical practices that remotely working therapists should take into account in their work.

Aim. Parenting and psychotherapy are commonly considered to be entirely divergent phenomena. By comparing the two processes in the search for points of contiguity, this narrative literature review aims to present a different approach. Contemporary views on psychotherapy and parenting were analyzed in terms of definitions, relations, treatment, the role in maintaining health and triggering psychopathology. Method. A literature review based on a Medline keyword search between 2000-2020. Conclusions: Available literature review suggests at least three points of contiguity between parenting and psychotherapy: (1) dominant parenting style and its role in the development of future psychopathology, (2) psychotherapy as a process of reversing the adverse effect of parental failures and (3) psychotherapy as a method of supporting parental competence. parenting; parenting styles; psychotherapy

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the sense of coherence, general self-efficacy and health behaviors in women after mastectomy. Method: 62 post-mastectomy female members of the “Amazonka” association in Szczecin and Piła completed The Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29), The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), The Health Behavior Inventory (IZZ), the Personal Values List (LWO) and a self-designed questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics package. Results: Statistically significant, positive correlations were observed between sense of coherence and health behaviors, and sense of coherence and positive mental attitude. Perceived support from family/friends was linked to health behaviors. There were significant positive correlations between general self-efficacy, health behaviors and positive mental attitude. No links were found between the value attributed to health and manifested health behaviors in women after mastectomy. Conclusions: The sense of coherence and general self-efficacy were significantly related to health behaviors in women after mastectomy. mastectomy; sense of coherence; general self-efficacy

Anger manifestations, depression and anxiety are strongly related to individual ́s discomfort and well-being. The aim of the present study is to investigate the fit of a bifactor model applied on emotional disposition measures emphasizing the specification of a general factor through the identification of specific responses or indicators that can account for the communality between depression, anxiety and anger. The results obtained show two large groups of indicators that would be common in these affective disposition types: affective and cognitive responses. On the one hand, affective responses include agitation, irritability, and tension or nervousness. On the other hand, cognitive symptoms are linked to the presence of repetitive worrying and uncontrollable thoughts. In this way, it is possible to identify a general stress response in this group of indicators. emotional disposition; bifactor model; general factor specification
