Opis:: Commenting on an article devoted to the continuing education of assessment psychologists from the point of view of transport psychology, the author proposes that various forms of postgraduate education should be evaluated in terms of the assumed and verifiable effects of education, and that, with their assumptions based on the effects-based approach (EBA), they should develop a habit of combining practice with scientific knowledge. Since many people lack basic psychological skills, the best solution in their case seems to be traineeship and work under supervision. The system of education should take into account the fact that the teaching of rules, skills, and procedures amounts to taking over part of the responsibility for the trainees’ actions in their future assessment practice.

Opis:: Objectives: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of how the decline of cognitive abilities caused by aging is moderated by biologically determined personality dimensions: Neuroticism (N) and Extraversion (E). Materials and Methods: The research was conducted with the participation of 160 men in good physical health, professional drivers, aged 20–70 (Mean = 40, SD = 11). Personality traits were measured using Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire — Revised (EPQ-R), while Ravens Progressive Matrices, Go/noGo Task and Peripheral Perception Test were used to evaluate cognitive processes. The score of Ravens Progressive Matrices was treated as a control variable. Results: The results of the study, based on a Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis, indicate that besides the intelligence level, age is the best predictor of cognitive functioning level and that this infl uence is additionally moderated by the N trait level as well as, less frequently, by the interaction of age and E. Conclusion: This means that high N trait level increases the infl uence of age on cognitive functions decline. When the N trait level was low, the age differences in measures of cognitive performance were not signifi cant. Thus, the level of N trait may play an important role in the process of cognitive aging. The results are discussed in the context of a driving safety research.

Opis:: The number of primary hip arthroplasties is growing every year. One of the most common long complications is the aseptic loosening of the prosthesis leading to serious complications in patients life, pain and following surgeries. In the literature, there is a lack of studies regarding balance impairment in this group of patients, which is why there was a need to conduct the study in order to find possible falling risk factors and simple functional, diagnostic test. The aim of the study was to assess functional state and static balance disorders in patients admitted to orthopaedic department due to loosened hip prosthesis prior to its replacement or removal. Methods: The study population were 30 patients (15 women and 15 men) admitted to Orthopaedic Department for diagnosis and treatment of loosened hip prosthesis. Patients’ mean age was 71.67 ± 9.21, body height 169.20 ± 8.75 cm, body weight 77.83 ± 12.96 kg. The clinical control group consisted of 30 healthy subjects age-, body height- and weight-matched, without degenerative disorders of lower extremities. Function was assessed with Harris Hip score. The static balance test was conducted in the mornings, in quiet separate room on bi-modular stabilometric platform CQStab2P, registering the movement of centre of foot pressure (COP). Results: Measurements with eyes open and closed showed significant differences in limb loads – the load to the healthy limb was several times greater. Results of tests on the platform with eyes closed showed significantly worse balance in patients group. Their total statokinesiogram path was longer, and their COP sways number was greater. Similarly to the test with eyes open, the load of the healthy limb was much greater. Conclusion: Hip replacement loosening results in significant worsening of balance parameters. Balance assessment could be an additional useful diagnostic tool for hip replacement loosening available for physiotherapists.

Opis:: Introduction: The return to work of patients who undergo spinal surgery poses important medical and social challenge. Objectives: 1) To establish whether patients who undergo spinal stenosis surgery later return to work. 2) To establish the patient's attitude towards employment. 3) To assess the quality of life of the patients and its influence on their attitude to work. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 58 patients aged from 21 to 80 years (the mean age was 52.33±14.12). There were 29 women (50%) and 29 men (50%) in the group. The patients' quality of life was measured by the use of the WHOQOL-BREF instrument. Individual interviews were conducted 3 to 8 months (a mean of 5.72 months ±1.6) after the surgery. Results: 1) Although 13 patients (22.3%) returned to work, 44 (75.9%) did not, these being manual workers of vocational secondary education. 2) Almost half of the patients (27 patients, i.e. 44%) intend to apply for disability pension, 16 patients (27.6%) consider themselves unfit to work, 22 patients (37.9%) do not feel like working again. 3) The quality of life of the patients decreased. Domain scores for the WHOQOL-BREF are transformed to a 0-100 scale. The mean physical health amounted to 60.67 (±16.31), the mean psychological health was 58.78 (±16.01), while the mean social relations with family and friends were 59.91 (±20.69), and the mean environment 59.62 (±12.48). Conclusions: 1) A total of 75% of the patients operated for lumbar spinal stenosis do not return to their preoperative work. Difficulties in returning to work and decreased quality of life are associated with female sex, lower-level education, hard physical work and low income. 2) Physical health, psychological health, social relations and environment decreased to the mean of approximately 60. 3) The quality of life of the patients who did return to work was similar to that of healthy people.

abdominoperineal resection of the rectum
Opis:: The abdominoperineal resection of the rectum is a classical operation performed in case of patients diagnosed with rectal cancer. The development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, introduced yet another method of treatment, considering patients with rectal cancer- laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. The aim of the study was to present initial treatment results considering the above-mentioned patients. Material and methods. The study group comprised 25 patients (16 male and 9 female) diagnosed with low-rectal cancer, subjected to surgery by means of the above-mentioned method. Mean patient age amounted to 66 years. Three (12%) patients required conversion to classical surgery (laparotomy), while one patient required reoperation, due to presacral vascular bleeding. Complications were observed in 10 (40%) patients. Average hospitalization was 7 days. In case of all patients the radial margin was negative, and mean number of removed lymph nodes amounted to 9.6. Mortality was not observed during the perioperative period. Due to the initial character of the study analysis (mean observation period in case of 68% of patients was shorter than 2 years), oncological results were not subject to evaluation. Conclusions. Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resections are considered as technically difficult operations, requiring significant experience of the operating team. However, they enable the patient to take advantage of the many assets of minimally invasive surgery, with comparable rates of postoperative complications.
