    The COVID-19 pandemic in Poland lasted from March 2020 to May 2022. As a result of the new strain of the virus, it was necessary to change the way primary health care units work. In order to allow patients to interact with medical staff, teleconsultations were introduced. This was thought to reduce the spread of the virus and reduce the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2. Many other countries have seen a reduction in in-person visits and an increase in online doctor consultations. The aim of the study was to examine the level of services provided by medical facilities, including efficiency, effectiveness and patient satisfaction. The survey, which included 246 people, showed that most respondents used remote visits during the pandemic and more than 50% of them believe that clinics were not adequately prepared for the epidemiological situation. Despite the rapid development of technology in the medical sector, patients still prefer the traditional form of medical consultation, which they argue is more accurate and insightful for the doctor during this type of visit

Wp艂yw COVID-19 na funkcjonowanie plac贸wek leczniczych w Polsce Impact of COVID-19 on the functioning of medical facilities in Poland Kornelia Ka藕mierkiewicz, Klaudia Smulewicz, Alicja W贸jcik, Bart艂omiej Ziomko Adres do korespondencji: Kornelia Ka藕mierkiewicz, [email protected], 537721970 Streszczenie Pandemia COVID-19 w Polsce to okres od marca 2020 roku do maja 2022 roku. W wyniku pojawienia si臋 nowej odmiany wirusa konieczna by艂a zmiana sposobu pracy plac贸wek podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej. Aby umo偶liwi膰 pacjentom kontakt z personelem medycznym wprowadzono teleporady. Mia艂o by膰 to rozwi膮zanie zmniejszaj膮ce rozprzestrzenianie si臋 wirusa oraz zmniejszaj膮ce ryzyko zara偶enia si臋 SARS-CoV-2. W wielu krajach mo偶na by艂o zauwa偶y膰 zmniejszenie wizyt osobistych w sektorach ochrony zdrowia, a zwi臋kszenie liczby konsultacji telefonicznych. Celem pracy by艂o zbadanie poziomu us艂ug 艣wiadczonych przez plac贸wki medyczne, w tym efektywno艣ci, skuteczno艣ci i poziomu zadowolenia pacjent贸w. Badania, kt贸re obejmowa艂y 246 os贸b wykaza艂y, 偶e wi臋kszo艣膰 respondent贸w w trakcie pandemii korzysta艂o z wizyt zdalnych a ponad 50% z nich uwa偶a, 偶e przychodnie nie by艂y odpowiednio przygotowane do zaistnia艂ej sytuacji epidemiologicznej. Pomimo szybkiego rozwoju technologii w sektorze medycznym, pacjenci nadal preferuj膮 tradycyjn膮 form臋 konsultacji lekarskiej, co argumentuj膮 wi臋ksz膮 dok艂adno艣ci膮 i wnikliwo艣ci膮 lekarza podczas tego rodzaju wizyty. W tym badaniu warto艣膰 p dla wszystkich kom贸rek tabeli kontyngencji jest wi臋ksza ni偶 0,05. Oznacza to, 偶e nie ma istotnych statystycznie r贸偶nic mi臋dzy obserwowanymi a oczekiwanymi warto艣ciami w 偶adnej z kom贸rek. Na podstawie tych wynik贸w mo偶na przyj膮膰 hipotez臋 zerow膮. Oznacza to, 偶e nie istnieje istotna statycznie zale偶no艣膰 mi臋dzy chorobami przewlek艂ymi a p艂ci膮. Innymi s艂owy, wyniki badania sugeruj膮, 偶e choroby przewlek艂e s膮 r贸wnie prawdopodobne u kobiet i m臋偶czyzn.

As a result of the new strain of the virus, it was necessary to change the way primary health care units work.

Many other countries have seen a reduction in in-person visits and an increase in online doctor consultations. The aim of the study was to examine the level of services provided by medical facilities, including efficiency, effectiveness and patient satisfaction. The survey, which included 246 people, showed that most respondents used remote visits during the pandemic and more than 50% of them believe that clinics were not adequately prepared for the epidemiological situation. Despite the rapid development of technology in the medical sector, patients still prefer the traditional form of medical consultation, which they argue is more accurate and insightful for the doctor during this type of visit. In this study, the p-value for all cells of the contingency table is greater than 0.05. This means that there are no statistically significant differences between the observed and expected values in any cell. Based on these results, the null hypothesis can be accepted. This means that there is no statistically significant relationship between chronic diseases and gender. In other words, the study findings suggest that chronic diseases are equally likely in women and men. Keywords: COVID-19, pandemic, telemedicine, health condition, chronic disease
