The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of patients attending an innovative technology-enhanced pulmonary rehabilitation program of National Health Found Program in Poland. The study included two groups of patients participating in post-COVID-19 stationary rehabilitation. Patients from group I (127 individuals) contracted COVID-19 in 2020, while patients from group II fell ill in 2021 (68 individuals). The study used a self-administered questionnaire. This study was designed as an acceptability study. In the experience related to COVID-19 in both groups of the respondents, the possibility of undertaking inpatient rehabilitation in a hospital ward played an important and positive role. Patients who experienced COVID-19 symptomatically expected that rehabilitation would eliminate the related dysfunctions, such as reduced respiratory efficiency of the lungs, disorders of the nervous system, and cognitive disorders (the so-called brain fog). All respondents who experienced symptomatic COVID-19 positively assessed the rehabilitation program offered. Among the highest-rated rehabilitation, elements were identified: exercise on a cycle ergometer implemented with video stimulation, group fitness exercises, and breathing exercises. Other innovative forms of rehabilitation were positively evaluated by 10 to 25% of patients.

Objectives: The aim of the article is to present the experiences of patients who were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2020 and 2021-2022, and then underwent in-patient rehabilitation at the Specialist Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration in Głuchołazy.Material and methods: The study included three groups of patients staying in 2020-2021 and 2022 on post-covid rehabilitation. People from group I contracted COVID-19 in 2020. People from group II fell ill in 2021. In groups I (127 people) and II (68), respectively, the research was conducted in the form of questionnaires. The results obtained from the questionnaires were enriched with the opinions of the third group of patients, collected at the end of 2021 by means of an unstructured interview using the method of free conversation.Results: The results are compatible with the state of research in which similar issues were addressed. There was no conflict between trusting the doctor and having to reject his recommendations (or even diagnosis). The methods of clinical rehabilitation offered to patients after COVID-19 were based on scientific grounds. An individual rehabilitation program implemented in the hospital environment corresponded to the characteristics of such therapy.Conclusions: The subjects experienced COVID-19 as a somatic and private experience. The incidence of COVID-19 was not associated with the possibility of losing a job. Social rights have been recognized as natural security for living conditions in the event of an illness. The respondents found the views disseminated by doctors in the media to be useful and credible. The general standard of reporting the epidemic by official state institutions was negatively assessed. All respondents positively assessed the rehabilitation program offered to them. The results may constitute the basis for a change in the way information on epidemic threats is presented by the official state media.

JEL Classification: M16Streszczenie: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie holistycznego podejścia do kreowania przestrzeni turystycznej. Myślenie kategoriami przestrzeni miejsca, czyli inwestowania w materialne zagospodarowanie ORT, jest obecnie niewystarczającym argumentem, aby skutecznie współtworzyć regionalne produkty turystyczne (na trwałe kodujące się w percepcji turysty). Na podstawie benchmarku Toskanii opisano, jak tworzyć prestiżową i markową destynację opartą na paradygmacie przestrzeni przepływów (zanurzanie turysty w polu znaczeń turystyki agrowinnej, dostarczającej konsumpcji wartości niematerialnych, tj. poznawanie i uczestniczenie w "żywej" historii kultury wina). W dalszej części dokonano jej egzemplifikacji na podstawie toskańskich praktyk współtworzenia wartości kulturowych poprzez sieciowe formy współpracy (w ramach stowarzyszeń winiarskich). Do identyfikacji powyższego zastosowano badania jakościowe (badania studyjne), ich weryfikacji zaś dokonano za pomocą analizy case study.Słowa kluczowe: kreowanie przestrzeni turystycznej, enoturystyka, pole znaczeń regionu winiarskiego, współkreowanie wartości z turystą. Summary:There is a need to extend the classical approach of creation of a tourism destination. Therefore, the paper shows that in wine tourism destination like Tuscany more significant role is played by the harmony between intangible and unsubstantial value flows (e.g. knowledge, aesthetics and symbolic ones) and tangible and substantial tourism infrastructure. For that reason the traditional tourism destination should not be treated only in the limited reflection of tourism infrastructure investments. According to network analysis, it is absolutely indispensable to transform single regional products (e.g. particular tourism attraction) into collaborative ones, that means into the co-creation of regional identity, recognizable in most Przestrzeń miejsca czy przepływów? Toskania jako benchmark współkreowania... 225places where tourists are supposed to have a visit. Each of them as well as each interaction (during client service processes) should be designed as a matter of symbol, history and tradition transfer.
