Poczucie własnej skuteczności a zachowania zdrowotne i satysfakcja z życia studentów dietetyki

Abstract

The aim of the study was the investigation of the generalized sense of self-efficacy, the intensification of health behaviors and the level of life satisfaction, as well as the analysis of the relationships between these variables in people with specific interests and knowledge related to health and its promotion. The study group consisted of 252 dietetics students. The following validated scales were used: Inventory of Health-Related Behaviors (IHRB), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). In the examined group the self-efficacy was significantly higher in relation to the Polish normative values. Similary, healthrelated behaviors were significantly higher in the examined group in comparison to the normative values. However, the level of satisfaction with life was comparable to that obtained in the Polish standardization studies. Further analysis revealed in the study group a weak but significant correlation between the generalized self-efficacy, the inventory of health-related behaviors, and the satisfaction with life. Dietetics students with high GSES scores had significantly greater life satisfaction, and therefore were more content with their current life and the educational choices they had made, which translate into the health-related behaviors.

Health Behaviours among Nursing Students in Poland during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Satisfaction with life is a factor that affects an individual's attitude towards health [11][12][13]36]. Meanwhile, a reduction in numerous everyday activities, including the pandemic-related social isolation, significantly impacted psychosocial health and satisfaction with life in individuals in all age groups [38,39].…”

“…This is especially worrying because an individual's lifestyle, i.e., behaviours manifesting a conscious attitude towards health and the responsibility for one's and others' health, is one of the major factors affecting one's mental health. One's behaviours are affected by multiple factors, both those associated with the environment (in social and cultural contexts) and those on the part of the individual, including specific convictions; expectations; motives; values; observations and subjectively perceived health status; and specific personality traits, including emotional states and satisfaction with life [11][12][13].…”

Poczucie samoskuteczności i satysfakcji z życia młodych Ukraińców w czasie wojny

“…Poczucie własnej skuteczności analizowane jest również w kontekście zdrowia i zadowolenia z życia człowieka. Badania w tym aspekcie prowadzili G. Nowak, K. Pawlas, S. Duda, A. Kulik, D. Nowak [10], G. Nowicki, B. Ślusarska, B. Zboina, A. Deluga [11]. Wiele badań dotyczących sytuacji Ukrainy cierpiącej z powodu rosyjskiej agresji interpretuje wojnę jako zniszczenie zwykłego sposobu życia ludności ukraińskiej, co wymaga od nich wypracowania nowych mechanizmów funkcjonowania w takiej sytuacji, podjęcia wysiłków w celu zaakceptowania tej sytuacji lub jej uniknięcia poprzez migrację [12].…”
