In Poland and the world, cancer is a serious health problem. There are the second cause of death in total and the first cause of death before the age of 65 in Poland. The paper presents some research results concerning the understanding of the level of knowledge of adolescents about lung cancer. An attempt was made to answer the question: Do young people have basic knowledge about lung cancer? The following hypotheses were made: Students believe that they influ-ence whether they will develop lung cancer. Adolescents have a basic knowledge of lung cancer. The obtained results allowed for the formulation of conclusions. The main goal of the work is to find out about the level of knowledge of young people about lung cancer.To improve the situation of lung cancer in society, numerous social organizations and associations take part in social campaigns dedicated to all citizens, regardless of age and sex. Some postulates, the introduction of which could increase the health security of the state and eliminate some environmental threats, such as passive smoking, will be presented below. These postulates have the overarching goal of changing the model of lung cancer prevention and care in Poland. The changes should be comprehensive - from prevention (primary and secondary), through diagnostics and treatment, post-treatment care (including rehabilitation and psycho-oncological care), to observation aimed at detecting and treating complications of the disease and anti-cancer therapy as well as early detection of possible recurrence of the disease. Given that smoking is becoming a bad habit of the younger age group than the study, it would be worthwhile to expand the age range and conduct such research among children, for example, from the age of 7 years. At this age, children are more receptive to and aware of health hazards.
The disability problem is an important issue that paramedics also face. Their attitudes and knowledge about this phenomenon may largely depend on the contact they make with a disabled person, and this in turn will be reflected in the activities that will be performed by the rescuer. The very method of collecting medical history is important in further rescue proceedings. The paper presents a variety of aspects in the approach to disability expressed in tests carried out on paramedics. The intention of the authors was to signal the problem of disability and attempt to make a preliminary assessment of the subjective attitudes of medical students towards people with disabilities. This study is a preliminary report, and the leitmotiv of this publication is the willingness to interest the subject of other researchers and to share already available results. Statistical analysis shows that among the causes of disability, the most common are damage and diseases of the musculoskeletal system – 46.5% in second place are cardiovascular diseases – 45.5%, and neurological diseases to which we want to devote broad attention are in third place in this statistical and constitute 23.9%. The study was conducted in May 2019 in a group of 60 students (30 women and 30 men) aged 20-22 attending medical universities in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The research tool was the author's own survey containing closed questions. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. The respondents were asked about demographic data: the perception of the disabled, knowledge of problems related to the disabled and ways of supporting the disabled. The results were developed using Microsoft Excel 2010 from the Windows 7 package, using the appropriately available spreadsheet functions. The obtained results justify the careful conclusion that the problem of disability, seen through the eyes of medical university students, is not only noticed but assessed by them. Students very emphatically referred to the problem of disabled people taken up in the article.
Leczenie bólu u ludzi aktywnych fizycznie w medycynie ratunkowej jest ważnym, aczkolwiek ciągle niedocenianym problemem. Zgodnie z Przysięgą Hipokratesa i Kodeksem Etyki Lekarskiej zadaniem lekarza jest zmniejszanie bólu i cierpienia. Ulga w bólu jest typowym przykładem bioetycznego podejścia do pacjenta. Nieprawidłowości w jego leczeniu są sprzeczne z zasadą nieszkodzenia. Prawo do ulgi w bólu, jest podstawowym prawem człowieka. Odwołują się do niego: Deklaracja Tokijska, Europejska Konwencja Praw Człowieka, a także Konstytucja Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Prawo do łagodzenia bólu wynika również z praw pacjenta. Ból jest jednym z najczęstszych powodów zgłaszania się pacjentów do SOR. Szybkie i efektywne leczenie bólu, powinno być jednym z głównych celów medycyny ratunkowej. Ocena bólu i jego leczenie w warunkach pomocy doraźnej, często są nieskuteczne i nie spełniają oczekiwań pacjenta. Oznacza to, że działania mające na celu zniesienie lub zminimalizowanie bólu są ważnym aspektem udzielania pomocy poszkodowanym. Przy wyborze walki z bólem , należy brać pod uwagę wiele czynników: wiek, masę ciała, przyjmowane leki, choroby współistniejące, osobowość pacjenta, ewentualność hospitalizacji i zabiegu pacjenta oraz aktywność fizyczną. Aby skutecznie leczyć ból, należy najpierw dokonać oceny jego cech, znaleźć jego przyczynę, a dopiero wtedy dobrać odpowiednią metodę leczenia. Należy uwzględnić także chociażby taki czynnik, jak sposób spędzania czasu wolnego, przeszłość sportową oraz ewentualne wcześniejsze urazy, jak również ekspozycję na traumy związane z aktywnością fizyczna. Wielu naukowców wskazuje na fakt obniżenia progu bólu u sportowców. Inni z kolei dowodzą, że istnieje różnica w odczuwaniu bólu przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Wnioskować można, że problem bólu jest ważnym zagadnieniem w medycynie i kulturze fizycznej. Jego zrozumienie wymaga holistycznego i wieloaspektowego podejścia oraz naukowo uzasadnionej terapii. Ważnym jest okres rehabilitacji. Pośród innych metod uważamy za istotne zbadać metody arteterapeutyczne, w tym choreoterapię. O tym będzie nasz kolejny artykuł.
