Introduction: As a major interpersonal relationship in human life, marriage greatly influences the psycho-physical condition of both husband and wife. Given increasing divorce rates, however, it is crucial for prophylaxis and therapy to identify factors that impact marriage quality. Purpose: To describe how relationship satisfaction relates to a positive affective shift. Materials and methods: Two hundred married couples were grouped as having either high or low relationship satisfaction and evaluated by taking the Good Marriage Questionnaire. Each couple’s affective sphere was measured using the semantic differential. Results: Wives and husbands with higher relationship satisfaction are characterized by a stronger positive affective shift than those with lower relationship satisfaction. Conclusions: A positive affective shift cultivates favourable conditions for relationship satisfaction, which encourages spouses to develop and improve the quality of their marriage.

Purpose: Low back pain (LBP) occurs among approximately 60-80% of the population, gradually contributing to long-term or recurring disability. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of two physiotherapeutic treatments (namely, Träbert current and kinesiotherapy) among patients with LBP. Material and methods: Comprised of function tests and scales of pain and functionality, clinical tests were performed according to a prospective method in a regional hospital in Lomza. Forty patients randomly distributed into two groups: one group a subject to physical therapy with Träbert currents, the other group to kinesiotherapy following a proprietary programme. Physiotherapy was performed from Monday to Friday for two weeks in a series of ten treatments. Results: The treatment used in both groups significantly decreased pain and increased functionality of patients, evaluated by Laitinen’s survey, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Results of the Schober’s and “fingertip-to-floor” tests also showed increased improvement. Conclusions: The physiotherapy facilitated a significant decrease in pain, an increase in the mobility in lumbosacral segment of the spine and a decrease in disability among patients with LBP.
