Opis:
There are data showing clinical experience as disadvantageous for the quality of mental health assessment. On the other hand, according to American Psychological Association standards of evidence-based practice in psychology, clinical experience is one of the fundamental factors in professional psychological practice. The paper presents this controversy in the context of relevant psychological knowledge and empirical data. The conclusions are as follows: (1) the valuable input that clinical experience may bring to mental health assessment is intuitive thinking; (2) habitual cognitive errors and mindlessness, which are the possible side effects of long-lasting diagnostic practice, can be reduced by means of careful self-monitoring of the assessment process. A practical self-monitoring procedure is suggested.

Introduction: Health perception is a complex issue and determined by various factors. When assessing health there are positive, negative and intermediate measurements, as well as health indicators including the following criteria: subjective, objective and social. Purpose: To determine the relationship between subjective health assessment, physical fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness. Materials and Methods: The study included 1.000 high school adolescents from Poland and Ukraine. Two questionnaires were used in the study: an original questionnaire, and a standardized 20 m shuttle run test with PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run), enabling indirect assess of VO2 max. Results: Significant differences between subjective health assessment, physical fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness were found. The best health self-assessment and physical fitness, the best cardiorespiratory fitness results were obtained among adolescents. Polish youth better assessed their health in comparison to the peers from Ukraine. Conclusions: There is a relation between subjective health assessment and the objective parameters. When measuring health state of individuals or groups it is worth consider a subjective criterion of health.

Concept of Health Impact Assessment and its application in European Union. Private sector dimensionAccording to the WHO definition Health Impact Assessment (HIA) refers to “procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, programme  or project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of the population and the distribution of those effects within the population”. HIA has emerged from weather forecasts and is founding much  broader use. It helps to identify the factors, which have a potential impact on health. HIA may be relevant for all sectors to determine the effects, also unintentional, of their policies and actions on health and it has the potential to bring greater transparency to the decision-making process. Usually, it is very important to be able to foresee future health related effects, also by clarifying the nature of trade-offs in policy. Comparing and judging wanted and unwanted results is essential to choose a possibly best alternative and avoid harm. In European Union where modern tools to rationalize decision making process are broadly accepted HIA has been welcomed, at least in declarations. Although some approaches to assess actions targeted at environment have been formalized and are binding, but others, including HIA, still depend on good will of partners involved. Both member countries and institutions are a bit reserved to use HIA. Insufficient popularity of HIA may result from scarce educational opportunities but also from deficit in well grounded scientific evidence.

Opis:
Objectives The Health Impact Assessment (HIA) was conducted to evaluate the potential community health implications of a proposed oil drilling and production project in Hermosa Beach, California. The HIA considered 17 determinants of health that fell under 6 major categories (i.e., air quality, water and soil quality, upset conditions, noise and light emissions, traffic, and community livability). Material and Methods This paper attempts to address some of the gaps within the HIA practice by presenting the methodological approach and results of this transparent, comprehensive HIA; specifically, the evaluation matrix and decision-making framework that have been developed for this HIA and form the basis of the evaluation and allow for a clear conclusion to be reached in respect of any given health determinant (i.e., positive, negative, neutral). Results There is a number of aspects of the project that may positively influence health (e.g., increased education funding, ability to enhance green space), and at the same time there have been potential negative effects identified (e.g., odor, blowouts, property values). Except for upset conditions, the negative health outcomes have been largely nuisance-related (e.g., odor, aesthetics) without irreversible health impacts. The majority of the health determinants, that had been examined, have revealed that the project would have no substantial effect on the health of the community. Conclusions Using the newly developed methodology and based on established mitigation measures and additional recommendations provided in the HIA, the authors have concluded that the project will have no substantial effect on community health. This approach and methodology will assist practitioners, stakeholders and decision-makers in advancing the HIA as a useful, reproducible, and informative tool.

INTRODUCTION Health is a fundamental value of every human being. Individualized health behaviors, acquired during socialization, with time become conscious decisions. Therefore, the analysis of health evaluation is an important element in assessing the health awareness of university students. The aim of the study was to analyze health as a value in the assessment of students from the Podkarpackie voivodeship. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research was carried out among 690 students from the Podkarpackie voivodeship. It was also conducted using a survey made on the basis of the List of Health Criteria. All the obtained results were later subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS The research found that the surveyed students place the utmost importance on health understood as “property”, “process” and “objective” and health as a “state” and “result” occurred a bit further down on the list. . Being healthy in the opinion of the respondents is primarily “not feel any physical ailments”, “ have all wellfunctioning body parts ”, “able to get along with other people”, “accept yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses ” and “feel good”, and ”live to a ripe old age”. In contrast, less important was “feel happy most of the time”, “ able to enjoy life” and “no smoking” and “ eat properly.” CONCLUSIONS Assessing the significance and evaluation of health is an important element in assessing the health awareness of students. Determining the health behavior deficits of young people studying enables one to distinguish the students who should be included in education in the field of health promotion.
W S T Ę P Zdrowie jest podstawową wartością każdego człowieka. Zindywidualizowane zachowania zdrowotne, nabywane w okresie socjalizacji, z czasem stają się świadomymi wyborami. Dlatego analiza wartościowania zdrowia jest ważnym elementem oceny świadomości prozdrowotnej młodzieży studiującej. Celem pracy była analiza zdrowia jako wartości w ocenie studentów z województwa podkarpackiego MATERI A Ł I M E T O D Y Badaniami objęto 690 studentów z województwa podkarpackiego. Badania przeprowadzono z zastosowaniem ankiety własnego autorstwa oraz standaryzowanego narzędzia badawczego – Listy Kryteriów Zdrowia (LKZ). Uzyskane wyniki badań poddano analizie statystycznej. WYNIKI Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że badani studenci najwyższą wagę przypisują zdrowiu rozumianemu jako „właściwość”, „proces” i „cel”, zaś zdrowie jako „stan” i „wynik” zajmuje nieco dalsze miejsce. Być zdrowym, w opinii badanych, to przede wszystkim „nie odczuwać żadnych dolegliwości fizycznych”, „mieć sprawne wszystkie części ciała”, „potrafić dobrze współżyć z innymi ludźmi”, „akceptować siebie, znać swoje możliwości i braki” oraz „czuć się dobrze” i „dożyć późnej starości”. Natomiast mniej ważne są „czuć się szczęśliwym przez większość czasu”, „umieć się cieszyć z życia” oraz „nie palić tytoniu” i „należycie się odżywiać”. WNIOSKI Ocena znaczenia i wartościowania zdrowia jest ważnym elementem oceny świadomości prozdrowotnej studentów. Ustalenie deficytów zachowań zdrowotnych młodzieży studiującej umożliwia wyodrębnienie studentów, którzy powinni być objęci edukacją w zakresie promocji zdrowia.

Opis:
Health policy and HTASet of procedures referred to as Health Technology Assessment (HTA) becomes more and more popular among health policy makers in many. There are two factors contributing to this process. Firstly, it is universal access to health services and their guaranteed financing from public  esources.Secondly, a pressure exerted by manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment who looks for profit. The choice which is to be made by decision makers is difficult. If new technologies are implemented too late – there are losses in health and a dissatisfaction of citizens is growing. If they are implemented to hastily, without necessary tests, there are losses in health again and public payer has to pay – and waste – a lot of money. HTA opens a way to make more rational decisions.

Objectives Universities played a significant role in meeting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, with both students and staff having to identify and use available coping resources. The main aim of the study was to describe the academic community’s experiences of the pandemic and their impact on health and wellbeing. Related variables were also explored, such as sense of coherence (SOC), gratitude, and subjective health assessment (SHA). Material and Methods During the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, an online questionnaire was sent to the community of the Medical University of Lodz. It included 4 open-ended questions on ways to remain healthy during the pandemic. The responses (N = 144) were analyzed using a general inductive approach. For the purpose of this study, the resource utilization rate (RUR) was defined and calculated based on the number of categories with responses indicating resource usage. Additionally, a Polish adaptation of the 29-item Sense of Coherence scale (SOC-29), the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6), and subjective health assessment were measured. Correlations between variables were calculated. Results The main areas of resource identification and utilization were interpersonal relationships, views of reality, physical activity, pleasure activities, social contacts, and healthy diet. Physical activity has been found to be the most commonly-reported strategy of taking care of both health and emotional state more frequently among students than employees (p < 0.01). The RUR was strongly associated with SOC in male employees (ρ = 0.7, p < 0.05) and with GQ-6 in both male and female student groups (ρ = 0.56, p < 0.05 and ρ = 0.28, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions Relationships between RUR and SOC seem to be gender- and age-related. The relationships between health and resource utilization are worth exploring in the university setting.

Opis:
Health policy as a process and as activities in the sphere of public responsibility may cause different evaluation problems but at the same time the proper and reliable assessment should be understood as the essential interest of the engaged stakeholders: government at different levels, payers, providers and patients as well. The paper concerns the problem of difficulties influencing the research focused on the health policy description aiming at the indication of the most important factors, effects, possible development dimensions that may significantly change the health system. The methodology in this case is also a complicated issue: quite often based on the instruments typical for social disciplines but not completely applicable for the presented subject. The paper describes the new innovative and universal tool for the purpose of the analysis aiming at reliable and comparable health policy assessment, it presents the stages and objectives of such evaluation and the perspectives of the HPA matrix development both for research and for didactic purposes.

Ogrody pracownicze lub rodzinne, zwane potocznie działkami lub ogrodami działkowymi, są bardzo popularnym miejscem wypoczynku i rekreacji mieszkańców miast. Niejednokrotnie wykorzystywane są także w amatorskiej uprawie warzyw i owoców. Z uwagi na spełniane funkcje powinny być zlokalizowane na obszarach wolnych od zanieczyszczeń powietrza, gleb oraz wód gruntowych. Niestety, w większości polskich aglomeracji ogrody działkowe są rozmieszczone w okolicach zakładów przemysłowych, tras komunikacyjnych oraz na terenach poddanych rekultywacji, gdzie często obserwuje się zanieczyszczenie metalami ciężkimi i innymi substancjami.
The paper assesses the human health risk for users of allotment gardens in Wrocław. The assessment is made on the basis of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn) hazard. It takes the two main routes of exposure into account: accidental ingestion of contaminated soil and dermal contact with contaminated soil. Attention was focused on recreational scenario of hazard. The methods used have been recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Results of the analysis show the highest value of the hazard index can be observed for children, in the allotment gardens located in Wroclaw – Grabiszyn, in the area of environmental impact of Hutmen factory.

The article discusses the tools used for air quality management in the health resorts in Poland including legal instruments, documents and activities at the regional and local level with an example of formal and legal activities, such as the so-called anti-smog resolution to limit the emission of air pollutants from the municipal and housing sectors and thus minimize the risk related to air pollution. The issue of pollution emission resulting from the spatial conditions, including spatial planning, was also indicated. The analysis of the results pertaining to the PM10 measurements from 2017–2018 available for the resorts in Lower Silesia with reference to selected resorts in other regions of Poland and the health risk assessment according to the concentration-response functions for the PM-based on longand short-term relative risk estimates derived from epidemiological studies were conducted. The exposure assessment was based on the available mathematical modelling results for the PM10 and PM2.5 concentration distributions, which was performed using the CALPUFF model for 2017. In the case of average risk indicators, the obtained values indicated that the values (for all the stays and areas of all zones (total A, B and C) peaked for the Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój health resort (over 1.1% per annum) and were lowest for Czerniawa and Świeradów-Zdrój (about 0.7%). The highest relative risk indicators in 2017 were observed for cardiovascular diseases for the first two stays in January / February (for the Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój health resort – over 5%) and for both December stays (over 2.5%). In other health resorts, the risk indicators were significantly lower. The lowest health risk indicators were observed in July, regardless of the location of the health resort and the analysed health effect (rarely exceeding 0.3%). The scale of risk in this case was much higher compared to the short-term risk.

Opis:
Celem oceny technologii medycznych (ang. Health Technology Assessment – HTA) jest wspieranie świadomego kształtowania polityki i oceny ekonomicznej w zakresie medycyny, a tym samym racjonalnej alokacji zasobów niezbędnych do rozwoju technologii medycznych. Przykładem zmian technologicznych w medycynie jest intensywny rozwój małoinwazyjnych technik chirurgicznych, w tym technik laparoskopowych. Biorąc pod uwagę korzyści uzyskiwane przez pacjenta w wyniku leczenia laparoskopowego, naturalną tendencją powinno być ich zastosowanie w miejsce metod otwartych. Niestety dla osób zarządzających placówkami zdrowia priorytetem jest minimalizacja kosztów wykonywanych procedur medycznych. Z tego względu, celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza porównawcza kosztów wybranych zabiegów chirurgicznych wykonywanych metodą otwartą i laparoskopową. Uzyskane wyniki są częściowo zaskakujące, gdyż kwestionują przekonanie, że koszt wykonania zabiegów laparoskopowych przekracza koszt identycznych zabiegów wykonywanych metodą otwartą.
The aim of Health Technology Assessment is to support activities intended to form politics as well as economic analysis in medicine and hence rational allocation of resources which are necessary for developing medical technologies. An example of technological changes in medicine is an intensive development of minimally invasive surgical techniques including laparoscopic techniques. Taking into account the great benefits of laparoscopic treatment for patient the natural tendency should be the change of open surgeries to minimal invasive procedures. However the problem of conflicts costs-benefits is indicated by health managers, for whom the procedures’ costs are treated as a priority. Taking this as a background for considerations, there was formulated the research objective that is a comparative analysis of selected surgical procedures performed in open method and laparoscopy. The outcomes are partly surprising and questioned the hypothetical rule that the cost of performing laparoscopic procedures exceed the cost of identical procedures, but executed with open method.

Opis:
One of the most important air contaminants in Krakow is particulate matter (PM), especially during winter months. Deposited PM was sampled between November 2014 and January 2015 and November 2015 and January 2016. The PM deposition amounted to 0.0646 g/m2 per day in the centre of Krakow and 0.0328 g/m2 in the northern district of the city. The allowed value of annual dust deposits (0.547 g/m2 per day) was not exceeded. The XRD and SEM-EDS analysis showed that quartz, calcite, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, kaolinite, and gypsum were the main mineralogical components of the deposited PM. Only in a few samples were illite, dolomite, and apatite observed. Significant concentrations were measured (ICP-MS) for Ca, Fe, Mg, Al, K, Si, Na, and Mn, and high concentrations for Ti, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Cr, Ti, V, Li, Sr and Ni. The highest estimated daily intakes (EDI) for resuspended PM, were stated for ingestion exposure pathway than for dermal contact, and finally for inhalation, both for children and adults, as well as, for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic elements. The mean hazard quotient (HQ) values for all three exposure pathways decreased in the following order: Fe > Al > Zn > Mn > Sr > Cu > Ba > Cr > Pb > V > Ni > Li > As > Sn > Zr > Co > Cd > Be, for children and adults. The hazard index values for all elements in each exposure pathway (HIelem) and for single elements in all exposure pathways (HIpath) were <1, both for children and adults. The risk values from all three exposure pathways were unacceptable in the case of Cr, both for children and adults, and in the case of As for children. The total non-carcinogenic risk (HItotal) values in all three exposure pathways for all elements were <1, however in case of children the risk value pointed to a low risk level. The total carcinogenic risk (Rtotal) values in all three exposure pathways for As and Cr exceeded the acceptable level, both for children and adults.

They can also be exposed to pulses of a time-varying magnetic field (gradient field) present only during patients’ examinations. The level of the workers’ exposure depends both on the type of the magnet and on the ergonomic design of each MRI device. The paper presents methods used for measuring and assessing workers’ exposure. It also discusses the results of inspection measurements carried out next to approximately 20 MRI devices of approximately 0.2–2.0 T. The presented characteristic and overview of the variability of workers’ exposure to a variety of MRI devices supports the need for data on monitoring occupational exposure to MRI. International exposure assessment standards and guidelines (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection [ICNIRP], Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [IEEE], American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists [ACGIH], European Commission directive), and those established in Poland are also compared.
