Oddziaływanie na proces społecznej rehabilitacji pacjentów

The social life of disabled people is understudied despite the fact that it is a burning social issue. The author concentrates on rehabilitation as a system of institutions (in contrast to the other perspective on rehabilitation that places an individual in the centre of attention and thus treats rehabilitation as a social process). Rehabilitation is defined at a purposeful act. In order for this act to be meaningfully conducted (and analyzed), it is necessary to define (1) the grounds for decision making (2) diagnosis and (3) the criteria for effects evaluation. In the first domain the author advocates the view, that rehabilitation is not only a process of regaining physical health, but also - and perhaps more importantly - a return to society: to family, social and professional life. The dimension of diagnosis is analyzed through the two case studies (research on people after heart attack and after the amputation of one or both legs). Medical factors did not affect the decision to return to work. The social factors - such as type of work, education and age - appeared to be more crucial. In the third dimension the evaluation of the efficiency of rehabilitation is difficult due to a number of uncontrolled intervening factors. The author suggests that the problem can be solved by means of (a) the operationalization of all rehabilitation procedures and (b) defining the rehabilitation goals so that it will allow deriving the criteria for judging the degree of success (or failure) of the process.

Human capital is of crucial importance for the banking sector as it is a key driver of banks' efficiency. Unlike financial and material factors of production, human capital can be enhanced through education and has virtually unlimited growth potential. Investments in human capital can contribute to increased efficiency of the banking sector. Banks should therefore ensure that their employees' knowledge and skills are systematically developed. Employees are an asset in which one needs to invest by providing opportunities for further training. Attention to the needs of personnel, combined with proper management of the human resources function, can help banks to build competitive advantage and to achieve their objectives.

During the age of enlightenment it seemed in many respects necessary to keep the population healthy. This meant to focus on the public health service in the sparsely populated countryside. Here, the medical market was divided into two spheres: the academical doctors mainly settling in towns far from the peasantry and also in social differences to them, whereas other healers, surgeries, midwives and all the informal, not authorized persons in all respects were by far more familiar to the villagers. Trying to better things the physicians intended to propose structural improvements (Medizinalwesen) as well as to enlighten the countryman how to stay healthy, but when fallen ill, to call for a doctor. It was the combination of these two operating fields to aim at a better public health standard and in consequence to strengthen the position of the academic medicine within the medical market. Only this way a win-win-situation was possible to achieve: primarily for the people, but then for the doctors as well.

Using as a basis for the study the manuscripts of the Societe royale de medicine dealing with diseases of craftsmen in the 18th century, it is interesting to pick out in the language of both the doctors and the work inspectors of the time the ambiguous articulations which establish a link between the needs for order in the city, for efficient work and for an enlightened humanism. The style of speech, which begins to take form as early as 1768, already contains all of the elements which underly the dominant 19th-century ideology concerning the worker's body, his mores, his production capacity and what his family life should be. The 18th-century humanist already dreamed of well-lighted work-shops; everything that is opaque was easily blamed on the worker; he must therefore be educated in order to be saved from himself. (The paper was published in 'Annales. Economies, Societes, Civilisation', 32e année, 1977, n. 5, ss. 993–1000, entitled: Les artisans malades de leur travail).

The author begins with the vivid discussion between German physicians after the death of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II and analyses both patients' experiences and the character of medical practices at the end of the 18th century. At that time sick or/and ill people could choose from the vast arsenal of services offered by doctors, healers, surgeons etc. The access to a particular category of 'specialists' depended primarily on patient's wealth. In consequence, patients were cured in their own beds (i.e. in their house) or in the hospital (i.e. a place, where poor, needed people could receive assistance and help). The author points out that the number of therapists (if all categories of them are included) was not so low, as some historians believe. In the article he revises i.e. the wide-spread opinion that physicians in the 18th century achieved a high hierarchical social status and were paid well.

Within the context of personality measurements, the scales WHOQOL - BREF (WHO, 1997) and ComQol - A5 (Cummins, 1997) were administered to a group of condemned drug addicts (heroin), N = 43, mean age 29 years. According to expectations, a difference of statistical significance appeared in the health indicators. Despite similar objective ratings, the addicts achieved significantly lower scores in subjective indicators of safety, social standing and emotional well-being than a group of controls.

The article contains the results of the analysis of EU inhabitants life expectancy differentiation. The main objective of the organization is the quality of life constant improvement and life standard increase of inhabitants of the least developed countries. Among other things the effect of activities in this area should be mortality gap decrease among countries. Mortality level is a result of health state. The article presents the results of synthetic assessment of health state of EU inhabitants. For this particular reason indicators describing two groups of health state were used: life style and health care. It occurred that the worst health state is in the former Soviet Union countries where the life expectancy is relatively short. Life style change seems to be the best solution for the improvement in this area.

The paper examines in the light of international statistics the degree of validity in the assertion of today's neo-liberal mainstream that the welfare state is dying and its redistributive role retreating and regressing. It looks into the percentage shares of GDP taken by welfare spending in 29 countries in the period 1980-98 and the tendency in social spending in the 15 EU member-countries in 1991-2000. It examines the increase in the health-spending component of welfare spending in 1991-2001 in the OECD countries, distinguishing within them between publicly and privately financed expenditures. Based on the OECD statistics, the author shows also the trend, in the second half of the 1990s, in the development of publicly and privately financed education spending. The most important conclusion is that there has been no dismantling of the welfare state in the last twenty or the last ten years. The last third of the paper is devoted to examining the likely reasons for this.

This paper reports on the impact of employment status, reactivity, and coping on immediate and long-term subjective well-being (SWB) outcomes. Outcomes investigated were subjective health (intensity of somatic symptoms), life satisfaction, and alienation. Three coping strategies were examined: Avoidance coping, Seeking Support, and Job Search. The study relied on a combination of cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. A longitudinal design was used to follow the unemployed participants from approximately 4–6 weeks after layoff to about three months after they stopped receiving unemployment compensation, i.e., for 10 months. Two reference groups included (1) the employed and (2) long-term unemployed (approx. 24 months) participants. In general, employed men reported better subjective health and less alienation than the moderate-term unemployed. Long-term unemployment was damaging for both men and women. Short-term SWB was determined by reactivity and coping. Support was not found for a relationship between reactivity and long-term SWB. Coping strategies were strong predictors of later deterioration of SWB. Post Scriptum -Polish criteria differ from those used in the EU and do not include persons who have not registered in Labor Offices. According to Polish legislation a person is eligible for unemployment compensation for the first six months after a layoff.

The aim of this paper is to clarify: the nature of the performed activities related to health care during aging, particularly in middle and later adulthood, and senior age and to clarify the correlation between health care and the perception of risk (harm) factors such as alcohol use, drug or internet use. The sample consists of 302 respondents at the age between 35 and 80 years (M = 58.56, SD = 13.82). For data collection Performed self-care actions (Lovaš, Hricová, 2015) and Risk perception questionnaire (Lovaš, Mésznerová, 2014) are used. It is shown that in the middle adulthood the most frequent strategy is the health care of one´s psychological wellbeing. On the contrary, in the senior age, preferred activities are associated with the health preservation and health problems prevention. Development trend that lies in the decreasing character of performed self-care activities in the area of physical wellbeing and increasing of self-care activities related with health problems is confirmed. The average values of perceived risk suggest that the period of middle age is the most sensitive to the perception of risk. The results showed further that the subjects were more concerned about their physical well-being, body and health and that the more intense substance abuse (alcohol, drugs) was perceived as threatening. Actions performed of self-care to health threats positively correlated with risk taking of soft and hard drugs. Self-care and risk avoidance can be considered a lifelong strategy that could affect the quality of aging.

One of the negative effects of the dynamic social and economic development is a consistent increase in the number of mental disorder cases, particularly depression, neurosis and schizophrenia. In view of the above, the aim of this paper is to identify and characterise the factors which should govern the location of psychiatric health care facilities. The author also attempts to distinguish between general and specific location prerequisites, and to classify them according to importance, the criterion being people's welfare and not the profitability of undertaking.

The Constitutional Charter of the Czechoslovak Republic of 1920 enshrined the principle of gender equality. Nevertheless, several legal provisions that were contrary to this principle remained in force. The social emancipation of women, however, had better conditions in the newly created state than it was in the former AustriaHungary Empire. The aim of the paper is to present the various types of sources by means of which it is possible to investigate the position of women in the city of Košice between 1918 – 1938; namely the possibilities of higher (in today's secondary school) education of girls and women, the employment of women in the field of education and health, and the involvement of women in the public sphere by working in the various associations that existed in the city. These three areas are among the basic indicators of the position of women in society, since education and associations were both a prerequisite and a means of female emancipation. The research was carried out in archives and libraries located in Košice, Bratislava and Prague. The research and collection of sources was carried out during the processing of this issue, followed by their critical evaluation.

An analysis of health promoting behaviors in the Czech adult population - sporting (n = 272) and non-sporting (n = 128) - and a comparison with German (n = 400) and Russian (n = 400) adults is presented in this article. In the investigation a questionnaire was employed called 'Sport, Health and Body Concepts in Central and Eastern Europe' which included mostly closed questions requiring answers on a Lickert type scale. Sporting adults were found to be more satisfied with their personal well-being, their health and bodies, they suffer less from psychosomatic difficulties (restless sleep, headache, backache, digestion problems, easily feeling weary) and their attitudes to health were more mature (healthier way of living, more regular visits to the physician, smoking less often, greater care of health, better condition and appearance).

The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model postulates that job demands and job resources constitute two processes: the health impairment process, leading to negative outcomes, and the motivational process, leading to positive outcomes. The aim of the study was to verify the health impairment process. Specifically, the study investigated the direct and the indirect (mediated via job burnout) effects of job demands on mental and physical health. Three kinds of job demands were considered, i.e. interpersonal conflicts at work, organizational constraints and workload. Data was collected among 625 police officers. The regression analysis – using the PROCESS macros of Hayes – was applied. Two of the three job demands were associated with mental and physical health directly or indirectly. The results partially support the Job Demands-Resources model.

The social dimension of sustainable development (SD) and those aspects of it related to human health are crucial for SD. By means of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) the European Union countries and other three developed countries were assessed using selected indicators reflecting aspects of health related to SD. Five indicators reflecting these aspects at the macroeconomic level were used. These were a pair of objective indicators, a pair of subjective indicators and one indicator reflecting resources for health care. They were applied in order to cluster the 31 countries for each year in the period 2011 – 2015 and also for the whole period. Four clusters were created for the years 2011 – 2014, three clusters for 2015, and five clusters for the overall period. Switzerland was evaluated as the best performing country in the sample, and Lithuania as the worst. Czech Republic exhibited a significant shift towards higher sustainability.

Monitoring data which are necessary to the management government on the spatial level of knowledge is not enough. The system of indicators is progressively receiving attributes such as regional disparities, regional polarization, differentiation or asymmetry etc. Regional disparities represent inequalities in socio-economic development of regions. The key role in monitored parameters is represented by health and monitored attributes of healthcare in the context of the situation in the regions. Studied effects tend to have various differences, which vary in intensity level from territorial units. Inequality may be in some certain conditions also a positive factor, especially if it serves as a baseline stimuli of starting the development of the regions. Also applies premise that the unexploited potential of human capital may induce in some places stimulating the emergence of new technologies.
