“…A number of demographic studies conducted by various authors have shown that both in Poland and other countries in the world the number of women in older age groups is significantly growing [9,5,10]. Following the statistical data, women more often live alone and assess their health condition as worse.…”

“…The author draws attention to the difference between the highest pension paid by Social Insurance Company (ZUS) and Farmer's Social Security Fund (KRUS), which in 2009 totalled 765 PLN, which indicates that retirees in rural areas have much lower financial resource [2]. The disabled elderly living in rural areas experience various barriers and limitations [2][3][4], generally resulting from inappropriate infrastructure, personal social care and difficult financial situation [5,6]. The scattered location of the housing causes that seniors living in rural areas experience troubles with shopping and access to cultural assets [2,6].…”

The authors used own interview questionnaire to collect the data. The study was conducted in 504 citizens, older than 65 years, from eight villages. Results. Women were more frequently widowed than men, had low educational level and lived alone. As most responses showed (51.98%), the received benefits did not cover the respondents' current needs and 5.95% of them claimed that they were insufficient. The remaining respondents, i.e. 42.06%, stated that the available resources fulfilled their needs. The respondents would also point to family's aid (n=411; 81.55%) or spouse's aid (n=147; 29.56%). Only 37 people benefited from social care (n=504; 7.34%), of which 24 (64.86%) claimed that the help provided by social care was insufficient. Conclusions. Old women in rural areas tend to live alone more frequently, are widowed and have lower level of education than men. The received financial benefits do not fully cover current needs of older residents of rural areas regardless of sex. Among people of over 65 years living in rural areas, the majority (81.55%) would point to family support and only 2.18% indicated social care as a source of income.

“…A factor that led to the intensification of feminisation of migration was changes in the family welfare capital in highly developed countries. Low fertility rates, better accessibility and development of education resulting in increased female labour force participation, as well as a growing number of people in the post-working age and ageing populations, have led to a large increase in demand for care services (Cangiano, 2014;Kawczyńska-Butrym, 2014). One frequently used solution to cope with this situation is the employment of immigrant women in households (Matuszczyk, 2019).…”

The purpose of this article is to present healthcare professionals' opinions on their sense of health security in relation to their jobs in the pandemic situation and to assess effectiveness of the work environment management. Design/methodology/approach: Management of Polish healthcare institutions, due to a strategic role of this sector and its connection with public finance, has been a source of numerous problems for many years. All weaknesses of the healthcare system in terms of human resources and organisation have been clearly exposed in the time of COVID-19 pandemic. Being faced with it, healthcare institutions and their employees struggle with problems of a greater work-related burden, arduous working conditions and continued concerns about their health and life. The research was conducted in December 2020 on a representative sample of healthcare professionals with the aim to identify their opinions on functioning in the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the research purposes, the CATI technique was applied with a Likert scale-based questionnaire. Findings: The research findings outline the work environments of healthcare professionals during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic and their effects on the sense of security. Research limitations/implications: Due to the period of the research conduct, its results have a unique quality and enable depicting the current situation and problems of the medical community as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the worldwide scale of the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented situation considering its spread, the use of resources as well as organisational and political solutions, problem research literature on the subject was unavailable in the process of preparing the study. Practical implication: The conclusions of the research draw attention to the need of using modern technologies in strategic management of internal communication systems, especially during crises such as a pandemic. Originality/value: The results of the research give a unique picture of healthcare professionals' opinions referring to sense of health security and the state of the health system during the pandemic.

“…Young adults have knowledge about the negative impact of risky behaviours and, at the same time, they are fully aware of the fact that they underestimate the possible consequences [ 20 ]. The research by Andruszkiewicz et al [ 21 ] shows that highly motivated people have a significantly higher global sense of understandability of the rationale for limiting health risk activities than people with low motivation.…”

Research most often deals with the relationship between risky behaviour on the road and other aspects of young adults’ lifestyle. It is rare that the sense of responsibility for one’s own life and health and for that of other people on the road is understood, due to the limitation of perceptual data. In this study, we researched 198 young adults (M = 19.75; SD = 1.11) using the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control, the Inventory of Health Behaviours, the Criteria of Health List and a student health survey. The chance of risky driving will increase by 50.7% among young adults as their understanding of health as a state increases. On the other hand, when young people feel that others are responsible for their lives, the likelihood of risky driving will drop by 6.4%. The hedonistic life orientation of a young adult had a significant impact on the results obtained which was connected with their understanding of health.
