Effects of COVID-19 on doctors burnout

The impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of doctors who come into contact with suspects or sick people is being studied worldwide. Appropriate questionnaires sent by e-mail to the surveyed groups are used for this. The most common respondents are anaesthesiologists working at the ICU and HED. Women experience stress and anxiety more often than men. Physicians' mental health is affected by their age, workplace and access to personal protective equipment. A review of the literature shows the negative impact of the growing number of SARS-CoV-2 cases on the level of stress, anxiety and satisfaction with the work of doctors

Hospital infections - medical, legal, economic and ethical issues

The aim is to present factors that threaten the health and life of the patient staying in a hospital setting. Objects and tools that, as a result of human error, penetrate the patient's tissues and body cavities, cause a high risk of infection. These include surgical instruments, gynecological instruments, needles, syringes, catheters, and dressings. The requirements for the cleanliness of equipment, objects and tools are manifold, depending on the degree of risk of infection. The sterility of the equipment and tools is maintained thanks to the proper handling of the material before sterilization, properly carried out sterilization process, compliance with transport and storage rules. Analysis of deactivation conditions and assessment of its effectiveness provides a guarantee of prevention of nosocomial infections [4]

Obarowska 23/16 04-337 Warszawa e-mail: [email protected] Streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Cukrzyca uznana jest za chorobę cywilizacyjną. Stanowi obecnie jeden z głównych problemów współczesnego świata. Powoduje to ogromny problemem zdrowotny, społeczny i ekonomiczny. Przyczyną tak znacznego wzrostu zachorowań jest poza starzeniem się społeczeństwa, niewłaściwy tryb życia: sposób odżywiania i małą aktywności fizyczna. Cukrzyca dotyka ludzi w różnym wieku. Zachorowanie na tę chorobę oznacza bardzo poważny problem dla pacjenta. Zmienia w zasadniczy sposób jego życie, wymaga długotrwałego leczenia, właściwej pielęgnacji i zmiany stylu życia. Cel pracy: Określenie poziom wiedzy pacjentów POZ na temat rozpoznawania i leczenia cukrzycy typu 2. Materiał i metoda: Grupę badawczą stanowiły pacjenci zgłaszający się do przychodni POZ przy Samodzielnym Publicznym Zakładzie Opieki Zdrowotnej w Bychawie. Grupę badawczą stanowiło 36 kobiet i 37 mężczyzn. Narzędziem badawczym był autorski kwestionariusz ankiety, który zawierał łącznie 47 pytań, z czego 11 stanowiła metryczka, zaś pozostałe 36 dotyczyły wiedzy na temat cukrzycy. Pytania miały charakter pytań zamkniętych. Wyniki badań zostały poddane analizie statystycznej. Wartości analizowanych parametrów mierzalnych przedstawiono przy pomocy wartości średniej, odchylenia standardowego, wartości minimalnych i maksymalnych oraz dla niemierzalnych cech przy pomocy liczności i odsetek. Odchylenie standardowe to popularna miara rozproszenia odzwierciedlająca stopień rozproszenia pomiarów wokół średniej arytmetycznej. Do sprawdzenia zależności pomiędzy zmiennymi wykorzystano korelację rang Spermana (R). Został przyjęty poziom istotności p<0,05 wskazujący na istnienie istotnych statystycznie różnic lub zależności. Bazę danych i badania statystyczne przeprowadzono w oparciu o oprogramowanie komputerowe Statistica 9.1. (StatSoft, Polska). Wyniki: Wiedza chorych odnośnie leczenia i rozpoznawania cukrzycy typu II jest niepełna oraz wysoka, dość często badani posiadają wiedzę w tym zakresie. Większa część ankietowanych posiada ogólną wiedzę na temat leczenia i rozpoznawania cukrzycy Wnioski: Poziom wiedzy osób chorych na cukrzycę jest niewystarczający. Ankietowani pacjenci mają niepełną wiedzę na temat rozpoznawania cukrzycy typu 2. Istnieje związek pomiędzy posiadaną wiedzą na temat rozpoznawania i leczenia cukrzycy typu 2 a cechami badanej populacji. Osoby z wykształceniem średnim i wyższym mają wyższy poziom wiedzy na temat rozpoznawania cukrzycy typu II niż osoby z wykształceniem podstawowym i zawodowym. Podobnie przedstawiają się wyniki na temat leczenia cukrzycy, osoby z wyższym wykształceniem mają większą wiedzę. Słowa kluczowe: cukrzyca typu 2, rozpoznawanie cukrzycy, leczenie cukrzycy, wiedza pacjentów POZ Abstract Background: Diabetes is considered a civilization disease. It is now one of the major problems of the modern world. More than 123 million people suffer from it. About 3.5% of the general population suffer from this disease every year. This causes a huge health, social and economic problem. The reason for such a high incidence of illness is beyond the aging population, poor lifestyle: diet and low physical activity. Diabetes affects people of all ages. Having a disease means a very serious problem for the patient. It essentially changes its life, requires long-term treatment, proper care and lifestyle changes. Aim: Defining the knowledge level of POZ patients on the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Material and method: The study group consisted of patients reporting to the POZ clinic at the Independent Public Health Care Unit in Bychawa. The research group comprised 36 women and 37 men. The research tool was an author's questionnaire, which included a total of 47 questions, 11 of them metric, and the remaining 36 related to knowledge about diabetes. Questions were closed questions. The results of the study were statistically analyzed. The values of the measured measurable parameters are expressed by means of mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, and non-measurable characteristics by means of numerical and interest. Standard deviation is a popular measure of dispersion reflecting the degree of dispersion of measurements around the arithmetic mean. The correlation between variables was used to correlate Sperman (R) rankings. The significance level p <0.05 has been assumed to indicate the existence of statistically significant differences or dependencies. The database and statistical studies were based on Statistica 9.1 computer software. (StatSoft, Poland). Results: The knowledge of patients with type II diabetes mellitus is incomplete and high, and quite often they have knowledge in this field. Most respondents have general knowledge about the treatment and diagnosis of diabetes Conclusions: The knowledge level of people with diabetes is insufficient. Respondents have incomplete knowledge about the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There is a connection between knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes and the characteristics of the study population. People with secondary and tertiary education have a higher level of knowledge about recognizing type II diabetes than people with primary and vocational education. Likewise, the results of treatment for diabetes are similar, and higher education holders have more knowledge. Key words: diabetes mellitus type 2, diabetes diagnosis, treatment of diabetes, knowledge of POZ patient

Nursing practice with the patient before complete removal of the stomach from cancer

Background: Gastric cancer (RZ) is the second leading cause of cancer in the world leading to death. Although each year the incidence of RZ is lower, it is still one of the highest in the group of most common malignancies.

Psychological aspects of the effects of COVID-19 on doctors

COVID-19 not only affects physical health, but also leads to mental health problems such as sleep problems, depression, feelings of anxiety, chronic stress. This also applies to doctors, because they too, or above all, are at particular risk. They are owed a lot of responsibilities, a new situation, a lack of adequate staff. They are surrounded by illness and death. They often do not cope with the current situation. This results in a decrease in their productivity, lack of motivation to work, fatigue, and this, as a consequence, can lead to burnout.</p

Co prawda z biegiem lat zachorowalność spada, ale mimo wszystko rak żołądka nadal jest w grupie najczęściej występujących nowotworów złośliwych. Metoda leczenia raka żołądka uzależniona jest od stopnia zaawansowania nowotworu. Niemniej jednak podstawowym postępowaniem u pacjenta z nowotworem żołądka jest leczenie operacyjne. W przypadku rozpoznania wczesnego raka żołądka dąży się do zastosowania leczenia chirurgicznego o jak najmniejszej inwazyjności, z kolei u pacjentów z rakiem zaawansowanym leczenie operacyjne zależy od stopnia zaawansowania procesu nowotworowego.
