    polska wersja artyku艂u opublikowanego po niemieckuProwadzone od wiek贸w przez zakony, stowarzyszenia i fundacje chrze艣cija艅skie szpitale, domy pomocy, o艣rodki Caritasu i ochronki zosta艂y znacjonalizowane w Polsce i Europie Wschodniej po 1945 roku. Jednocze艣nie z oddaleniem zwi膮zk贸w wyznaniowych od opieki medycznej i pomocy spo艂ecznej mala艂 presti偶 zawod贸w medycznych i pomocowych oraz marksistowska ideologizacja 艣rodowiska. Op贸r integrowa艂 w Polsce te 艣rodowiska e z Ko艣cio艂em katolickim, przypominaj膮cymi o etyce chrze艣cija艅skiej i deontologii opartej na chrze艣cija艅skim personalizmie. Solidarno艣膰 S艂u偶by Zdrowia i postulaty dotycz膮ce powrotu do etyki zawod贸w medycznych oraz przywr贸cenia funkcji kapelan贸w szpitali i instytucji pomocy spo艂ecznej znalaz艂y si臋 w Rozporz膮dzeniu Ministra Zdrowia z 1981 roku. Do 1989 roku w Polsce obszarem, w kt贸rym na styku ochrony zdrowia, pomocy spo艂ecznej, wolontariatu i zwi膮zk贸w wyznaniowych, rozwija艂a si臋 opieka duchowo-religijna, by艂y wolontaryjne zespo艂y domowej opieki hospicyjnej. Ich przyk艂ad pom贸g艂 w procesie odbudowy opieki duchowo-religijnej w ochronie zdrowia i pomocy spo艂ecznej, a tak偶e w nowych inicjatywach zespo艂owej opieki duszpasterskiej. Wsp贸艂czesne polskie spo艂ecze艅stwo jest jednym z najbardziej religijnych w Europie, a dominuj膮c膮 religi膮 jest katolicyzm. Wobec zmian spo艂ecznych i kulturowych wa偶na jest wra偶liwo艣膰 wobec zmieniaj膮cych si臋 potrzeb duchowo-religijnych i r贸偶ny stopie艅 przynale偶no艣ci pacjent贸w do wsp贸lnot wiary. 艢widomo艣膰 r贸偶norodno艣ci wyznaniowej i kulturowej, rozr贸偶nienie potrzeb duchowych, uznawanych za jedn膮 z powszechnych potrzeb ka偶dej osoby, od potrzeb religijnych, zwi膮zanych z przynale偶no艣ci膮 do danej wsp贸lnoty wiary jest wyzwaniem w pastoralnej opiece w warunkach instytucjonalnych i domowych.Charitable institutions, carried out for centuries by religious orders, associations and foundations Christian hospitals, nursing homes, Caritas centers were nationalized in Poland and Eastern Europe after 1945. Simultaneously with the remoteness of religious associations of medical care and social assistance diminish the prestige of the medical profession and Marxist ideologisation of caring environment. Resistance integrated those careers in Poland with the Catholic Church, reminiscent of Christian ethics and professional conduct based on Christian personalism. Solidarity demanded return to ethics of the medical profession and to restore the chaplains of hospitals and social assistance institutions. It was included in the Regulation of the Minister of Health in 1981. Until 1989 in Poland, an area in which to contact the health, social welfare, voluntary and religious organizations, developed health spiritual-religious, volunteer teams were home hospice care. Their example helped in the reconstruction process of spiritual and religious care in health care and social assistance, as well as new initiatives in the pastoral care teams. The contemporary Polish society is one of the most religious in Europe, and the dominant religion is Catholicism. To change the social and cultural importance of sensitivity to the changing needs of the spiritual-religious and different degree of membership subjects to the faith communities. Awareness of diversity of religious and cultural distinction spiritual needs, recognized as one of the common needs of each person, from religious needs, relating to participation in the faith community is a challenge in pastoral care in institutional settings and home care

    Introduction: Although there is evidence describing the immunomodulatory effects of macrolide antibiotics, there is little literature exploring the clinical effects these properties may have and their impact on measurable outcomes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if empiric antimicrobial regimens containing azithromycin shorten time to shock resolution. Methods: A retrospective study was performed in adults with septic shock admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) of 3 university-affiliated, urban teaching hospitals between June 2012 and June 2016. Eligible patients with septic shock required treatment with norepinephrine as the first-line vasopressor for a minimum of 4 hours and received at least 48 hours of antimicrobial treatment from the time of shock onset. Propensity scores were utilized to match patients who received azithromycin to those who did not. Results: A total of 3116 patients met initial inclusion criteria. After propensity score matching, 258 patients were included, with 124 and 134 patients in the azithromycin and control groups, respectively. Median shock duration was similar in patients treated with or without azithromycin (45.6 hr vs 59.7 hr, P = .44). In-hospital mortality was also similar (37.9% vs 38.1%, P = .979). There were no significant differences in mechanical ventilation duration, ICU length of stay (LOS), or hospital LOS. Conclusions: In patients admitted to the ICU with septic shock, empiric azithromycin did not have a significant effect on shock duration, mechanical ventilation duration, ICU LOS, hospital LOS, or in-hospital mortality
