Introduction: The level of modern medicine has led to a continuous extension of life expectancy. This fact is also linked to the aspect of proper adherence by patients to therapeutic recommendations. This process also applies to patients with diabetes, where it is often necessary to take multiple medications and adhere to a therapeutic regimen. However, the literature reports non-adherence to the prescribed therapy by patients. This behavior is so common and significant that the World Health Organization (WHO) included non-adherence to these recommendations in the list of the most serious health problems facing society, which is an obstacle in achieving positive outcomes of the therapy. Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the adherence to therapeutic recommendations in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: A total of 105 patients participated in the study, but due to missing responses, 98 correctly completed surveys were included in the analysis. The method used in the study was a diagnostic survey using a questionnaire. A standardized tool, the Adherence in Chronic Diseases Scale (ACDS), was used, and sociodemographic and clinical data were obtained from medical records and patient interviews. Summary Results: In the studied group, the average score on the ACDS scale was 19.29±3.85, which indicates a low level of adherence to therapeutic recommendations. Among women, adherence to recommendations averaged 19.83±3.46, while among men the average was lower at 18.46±4.29. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Women only slightly adhered to medical recommendations more than men. In terms of adherence, groups distinguished by the duration of diabetes differed significantly (p < 0.05). There were significant statistical differences (p < 0.05) between individuals who had been ill for up to 20 years and those who had been ill for over 35 years. Half of the individuals who had been ill for up to 20 years adhered to medical recommendations at least as much as Me = 21.00, while half of those over 35 years adhered no more than Me = 18.00. Individuals who had been ill for up to 20 years adhered significantly more to medical recommendations than those who had been ill for over 35 years (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The study group is characterized by a low degree of adherence to therapeutic recommendations. Gender does not influence the level of adherence. The longer the duration of the disease, the lower the degree of adherence to therapeutic recommendations.

Introduction Nowadays, heart failure is one of the most serious health problems. In Poland, about a million people struggle with it. This is due to several demographic and epidemiological trends, m.in. the improvement of the health care system and the aging of the population. Cardiovascular diseases are a huge challenge for the healthcare system, as they are considered the main cause of death in Poland. The basic assumption of the treatment of the disease includes the improvement of the quality of life Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to assess acceptance of the disease in patients with heart failure receiving outpatient medical care. Material and methods: The research was carried out on a group of 100 patients from NZOZ "Vita". To carry out the research, the author's questionnaire and the Standardized Questionnaire: AIS and LOT-R were used, and appropriate consents were obtained for their use in the work. Results In the study group, the level of disease acceptance according to the AIS in patients with heart failure treated on an outpatient basis was medium and high (48%; n=48 vs. 48%; n=48). Among the respondents, the largest group (46%; n=46) were people with an average level of optimism according to LOT-R. In people with heart failure, the most common comorbidities were diabetes, hypertension and bronchial asthma. Additional diseases did not have a statistically significant impact on the acceptance of the disease among the examined patients (p>0.05). The importance of religion as well as spiritual development in the respondents' lives did not influence their acceptance of the disease (p>0.05). Respondents with an optimistic attitude more often represented a higher level of acceptance of the disease according to the AIS than those with a pessimistic attitude (p=0.005). Conclusions Acceptance of the disease is the final stage of adaptation to the disease, it manifests itself in the recognition of limitations and losses that result from the occurrence of a given disease entity. Therefore, accepting the disease brings many benefits that ultimately improve the course of the disease and further prognosis.

Introduction. In March 2020, the WHO announced global pandemic due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. COVID-19 is considered as a highly infectious disease, with a considerable mortality rate, especially among older people with concomitant diseases (heart failure, pulmonary diseases, arterial hypertension, diabetes). The pathogen affects mainly the respiratory system, and may also lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis. In a severe state of health of a patient nurses make many nursing diagnoses, based on which they plan and implement nursing interventions to limit the risk of complications/death. Objective. The aim of the study was presentation of selected nursing diagnoses and interventions in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 during the period of pandemic. Materials and Method. Nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions associated with these diagnoses were analyzed among patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 during pandemic, based on practical experiences in Poland. Results. The COVID-19 pandemic was a new challenge for nurses in inpatient health care to provide patients with attentive care in a severe health condition. The efforts of nurses had to be focused on solving many care problems in the bio-psycho-social sphere in order to limit the risk of complications/death. The implementation of nursing interventions had to proceed smoothly, with consideration of the provision of secure environment of patient care and personal protection. Conclusions. The symptoms of COVID-19 are frequently multisystemic and are related with the risk of complications/death. The presented nursing diagnoses and interventions in patients ill with COVID-19 disease are an example of the provision of high quality care of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. Nursing care of a patient with COVID-19 should be characterized by the subjective approach to the patient in accordance with the holistic concept of solving health problems in the bio-psycho-social sphere.

Introduction: Mastocytosis is a rare hematologic neoplasm characterized by the abnormal proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in various tissues. Its clinical manifestations vary widely, ranging from cutaneous lesions to systemic involvement with potentially life-threatening symptoms. Understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of mastocytosis is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of mastocytosis, including its epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. By synthesizing current knowledge on mastocytosis, this study aims to enhance understanding of the disease and guide clinical practice. Description of the State of Knowledge: Mastocytosis is classified into cutaneous and systemic forms, with various subtypes based on clinical and histopathological features. Diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical suspicion, serum tryptase levels, histological examination of bone marrow biopsies, and genetic testing. Management strategies include symptomatic treatment, avoidance of triggers, and targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Advanced forms may require cytoreductive therapy or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Conclusions: Despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment, achieving lasting remission in mastocytosis remains challenging, especially in advanced cases. Further research into the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease and the development of novel therapeutic modalities are needed to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Introduction The convergence of sports and health is a developing area, focusing on the therapeutic potential of physical activities in numerous chronic disease management strategies as a necessary part of a holistic strategy. Acknowledging sports as a therapeutic tool emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of how sports engagement contributes to innovative healthcare interventions. Purpose This research aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of prescribing sports and physical exercise in treating primary chronic diseases, exploring its integration into healthcare practices with a focus on efficacy and implications for disease management. State of Knowledge Physical activity is recommended for treating diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and death, lowers blood pressure, ads prevents and manages atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. Non-physical sports like chess and board games also promise protection against dementia, depression, and Alzheimer's. Conclusions Incorporating sports into healthcare policies and prescribing personalized exercise are essential components of holistic chronic disease management and show widespread benefits. Professional guidance and clear recommendations, aligned with disease-specific guidelines, play a crucial role in ensuring safe and effective physical activity for patients. Potential risks in specific populations, particularly injury risks, can be minimized through proper preventive measures, adjusting the character of exercises, and heightened patient awareness. To ensure good compliance, exercise prescriptions should offer clear and precise guidelines.

Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, with its prevalence on the rise. The use of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), primarily including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), in MDD is scientifically justified. But will every population subgroup benefit from such an approach? Aim of the study The aim of our study is to analyze, based on the latest scientific findings, the effects of MBIs within specific subgroups of patients suffering from depression, including adolescents, elderly patients, cancer patients, individuals experiencing postnatal and perinatal depression, and patients with chronic pain. Additionally, we sought to summarize the current knowledge regarding the structural and functional effects of MBIs on the human brain. Materials and methods We conducted a comprehensive search of scientific databases including PubMed and Google Scholar to identify relevant articles focusing on MBIs and their effects on treating depression within various subgroups. Additionally, we performed a review of literature available on PubMed and Google Scholar to summarize the current knowledge regarding the impact of MBIs on the human brain. Conclusions Across various subgroups MBIs show promise in reducing depressive symptoms, indicating their potential as adjunctive treatments or preventive measures. While longer intervention durations are associated with larger effects, further research is needed to establish a solid evidence base, particularly in older populations and cancer patients with different cancer types.
导言 重度抑郁障碍（MDD）是最常见的精神疾病之一，其发病率呈上升趋势。在 MDD 中使用正念干预（MBI），主要包括正念认知疗法（MBCT）和正念减压疗法（MBSR），是有科学依据的。但是，是否每个人群都能从这种方法中获益呢？研究目的 我们的研究旨在根据最新的科学发现，分析正念减压疗法在特定抑郁症患者亚群中的效果，包括青少年、老年患者、癌症患者、产后和围产期抑郁症患者以及慢性疼痛患者。此外，我们还试图总结目前有关 MBIs 对人脑结构和功能影响的知识。材料与方法 我们对包括PubMed和谷歌学术在内的科学数据库进行了全面搜索，以确定关注MBI及其对不同亚群体抑郁症治疗效果的相关文章。此外，我们还对 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 上的文献进行了综述，总结了有关 MBI 对人脑影响的现有知识。结论 在不同的亚群体中，MBIs 在减轻抑郁症状方面显示出良好的前景，表明其具有作为辅助治疗或预防措施的潜力。虽然干预持续时间越长，效果越大，但还需要进一步的研究来建立坚实的证据基础，特别是在老年人群和不同癌症类型的癌症患者中。

Additionally, we sought to summarize the current knowledge regarding the structural and functional effects of MBIs on the human brain. \u0000Materials and methods \u0000We conducted a comprehensive search of scientific databases including PubMed and Google Scholar to identify relevant articles focusing on MBIs and their effects on treating depression within various subgroups. Additionally, we performed a review of literature available on PubMed and Google Scholar to summarize the current knowledge regarding the impact of MBIs on the human brain. \u0000Conclusions \u0000Across various subgroups MBIs show promise in reducing depressive symptoms, indicating their potential as adjunctive treatments or preventive measures. While longer intervention durations are associated with larger effects, further research is needed to establish a solid evidence base, particularly in older populations and cancer patients with different cancer types. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":509157,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Health and Sport","volume":" March","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140682464","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}
Burns are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. While the majority of pediatric burns are not life-threatening, they can have a significant impact on a child's physical and psychological health. They pose a major social and financial burden, particularly in developing countries. The management of pediatric patients with thermal injuries requires a complex and multifaceted approach. Pediatric burns constitute approximately 40-50% of all reported cases of severe burns. The most common etiologies of pediatric burns include scalds, contact burns, flames, and chemicals. From 80% to 90% of burns occurred at home and were accidental. Despite advancements in treatment, severe burns can lead to life-threatening complications, such as sepsis, multisystem organ failure, and hypermetabolic response or even death. This article aims to provide a literature-based overview of pediatric burn trauma, outlining its unique characteristics, etiology, epidemiology, classification, and initial management.

Introduction: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a prevalent autoimmune disease among the population. With the progress in diagnostic and research techniques, it has come to light that Hashimoto's thyroiditis is linked to a higher likelihood of developing other disorders that impact multiple organs and systems. Throughout the course of this disease, individuals may experience an array of complications such as sexual dysfunctions, fertility problems, specific mental disorders, cardiovascular diseases and other autoimmune diseases. Aim of the Study: The primary aim of this study is to explore the potential association between Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and its consequential effects on other physiological systems and organs. Description of the State of Knowledge: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland. The pathogenesis of the disease is not yet completely understood. Hashimoto's thyroiditis has been associated with a range of health issues, including sexual dysfunction, fertility problems, psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and other autoimmune disorders. Materials and methods: An unsystematic scientific literature review was conducted using specific keywords such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, fertility problems, thyroid tumor, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune diseases. The review was carried out on PubMed, analyzing a total of 53 sources published until 2023. Conclusions: HT's association with psychiatric disorders, fertility issues, thyroid tumors, cardiovascular dysfunction, and comorbid autoimmune conditions underscores its broad clinical impact, necessitating integrated management approaches. Effective management of HT requires collaboration among specialists to ensure early detection, proactive intervention, and patient education, ultimately improving therapeutic outcomes and quality of life.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is a wide-spread disease that affects even 30% of Polish population. The mentioned syndrome consists of: glucose intolerance, obesity, dyslipidaemia and high blood pressure. Change of lifestyle, particularly diet, is a crucial part of treatment of those issues. Artificial sweeteners are low-calorie or non-nutritive substances that are made for lowering sugar amounts in sweetened beverages. The use of artificial sweeteners rises among those, who want to lower their weight. Artificial sweeteners are well known substances, but their impact on health is still a matter of studies. We want to summarize the current knowledge about their impact on metabolic syndrome and its elements. Objectives: The review and presentation of the current state of knowledge on impact of artificial sweeteners on metabolic syndrome and its components. Material and methods: Review of the studies available on open access sources at PubMed, Google Scholar, National Library of Medicine and Coachrane. Conclusions: Currently there is no evidence of positive impact of artificial sweeteners on the metabolic syndrome. Moreover, new studies prove a negative impact of those substances at obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia and blood pressure. However there is a need of further studies about physiology of gut microbiota and current subject to strengthen current depth of evidence.
