Assessment of the effectiveness of physiotherapy in children with cerebral palsy in the opinion of the parents

Many specialists have studied cerebral palsy. Currently, the most accurate definition is that proposed by Bax, who defines cerebral palsy as a disorder of posture and movement caused by damage to the brain.  The factors that predispose to the development of this disorder include: pre-contraceptive, prenatal, perinatal and postnatal. Symptoms indicating the possibility of cerebral palsy can be observed already in the neonatal period, therefore it is important to follow pediatric visits, and in case of alarming symptoms, consult a neurologist.  Early diagnosis of the disorder will allow the introduction of quick, individualized child physiotherapy, which may strengthen the child's psychomotor development. Aim of the research: to assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy in children with cerebral palsy in the opinion of the parents.  Material and methods: the proprietary questionnaire and two certified scales were used: Gross Motor Classification System to determine the degree of motor disorders and Manual Ability Classification System to check the degree of manual skills.  Results: 67% of parents support the high effectiveness of physiotherapy. Therapeutic sessions most often take place 3-5 times a week (51%); moreover, 97% of children perform rehabilitation exercises at home. Conclusions: Physiotherapy is an effective form of exercise therapy for children with cerebral palsy.  The most popular of the methods used in working with children is NDT-Bobath.  The desirability of early diagnosis of cerebral palsy is associated with the possibility of quick therapeutic sessions, which translates into benefits in psychomotor development and significantly improves the quality of life.Abstract Many specialists have studied cerebral palsy.

Mental resilience and professional burnout among teachers

The article attempts to present the relationship between psychological resilience and professional burnout of primary, secondary and university teachers. The first part introduces the issues of mental resilience and occupational burnout. The study used the Resilience Assessment Questionnaire (KOP-26) and the LBQ Questionnaire assessing the level of occupational burnout. The rest of the article presents the results of research in the area of ​​the relationship between mental resilience and its components (personal competences, family relations and social competences) and the burnout syndrome. The teachers showed significant differences in terms of the level of mental resilience and differed in the degree of occupational burnout. A strong correlation was found between mental resilience and teacher burnout. There was no higher degree of burnout among teachers at lower stages of education. University teachers were characterized by a slightly higher degree of occupational burnout. Moreover, it has been shown that family support has a significant relationship in reducing occupational burnout. The conclusions indicate the need to introduce the prevention of burnout among teachers through psychoeducation in the field of skills that make up individual elements of mental resilience and a separate deepening of research among teachers at each level of education.W artykule podjęto próbę przedstawienia zależności między prężnością psychologiczną, a wypaleniem zawodowym nauczycieli szkół podstawowych, ponadpodstawowych oraz uczelni wyższych. W pierwszej części zostały przybliżone zagadnienia prężności psychicznej oraz wypalenia zawodowego. Do przeprowadzenia badania wykorzystano Kwestionariusz Oceny Prężności (KOP-26) i Kwestionariusz LBQ, który ocenia poziom wypalenia zawodowego.  Dalsza część artykułu przedstawia wyniki badań w obszarze zależności między prężnością psychiczną i jej składowymi (kompetencjami osobistymi, relacjami rodzinnymi oraz kompetencjami społecznymi) a syndromem wypalenia zawodowego. Nauczyciele  wykazali istotne różnice pod względem poziomu prężności psychicznej i  różnili się stopniem wypalenia zawodowego. Wykazano silną korelację pomiędzy prężnością psychiczną a wypaleniem zawodowym nauczycieli. Nie zauważono wyższego stopnia wypalenia zawodowego wśród nauczycieli niższych etapów nauczania.  Nauczyciele uczelni wyższych charakteryzowali się minimalnie wyższym stopniem wypalenia zawodowego. Ponadto wykazano, że wsparcie rodziny ma znaczący związek w niwelowaniu wypalenia zawodowego. We wnioskach wskazano potrzebę wprowadzenia profilaktyki wypalenia zawodowego wśród nauczycieli poprzez psychoedukację w zakresie umiejętności składających się na poszczególne elementy prężności psychicznej oraz pogłębienie badań wśród konkretnej grupy nauczycieli

Personality factors and style of coping with stress in women and men

This article presents personality factors juxtaposed with coping styles among men and women aged 18 to 71 years. The first section describes the concept of personality, its components, and the definition of stress and coping styles. Personality traits were examined using the NEO-FFI Personality Inventory and coping styles were examined using the Coping with Stress Questionnaire (CISS). The study was conducted in a sample of 175 men and women, and data were collected using online methods. There was a positive correlation between task-focused style and extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. In contrast, between the emotion-focused style a very strong positive correlation was shown only with neuroticism. There are low or statistically insignificant correlations between avoidance-focused style and personality factors.

A

The article relates to a sense of coherence and styles of coping with stress in a group of students of medical and non-medical universities. In the first part, a brief characteristics of the specifics of studies and future student work from both types of universities were presented. The issue of a sense of coherence and coping with stress in research was approximated closer. The study used a life orientation questionnaire (SOC-29) examining the sense of coherence and a questionnaire of coping in stressful situations (CISS). The level of a sense of coherence and strategies to deal with stress from students from medical and non-medical universities were compared. With the use of SOC-29 and CISS questionnaires, a group of 145 people were examined. Among the respondents there were 72 students from medical universities and 73 students from non-medical universities. In a group of students from medical universities, it has been shown that the level of sense of coherence is significantly different from the level of sense of coherence of non-medical students. The style focused on emotions was most often used in both student groups. There is a relationship between a style focused on emotions and a sense of coherence. In the study groups, no relationship was shown between the style concentrated on avoidance and the sense of coherence. The level of sense of coherence of students from medical universities is significantly different from the level of sense of coherence of students from non-medical universities. Students from both universities most often use the style concentrated on emotions, less often task style. The style focused on emotions correlates at a high level with a sense of coherence. The style focused on avoidance does not correlate with a sense of coherence. A relationship between an emotional style of coping with stress and a low sense of coherence is visible
