Objectives: The first aim was an attempt to evaluate the level of knowledge on Lyme disease among people whose profession involves working in the forest; the second - recognition of the health problems that should be included in health education programmes concerning Lyme disease in this group of professionals. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 159 subjects. Results: Only 15% know the etiological factor of disease, 98% - the main cause of infection, and route of pathogen transmission. Conclusion: Propagation of knowledge on Lyme disease, particularly among risk group people, is not satisfactory. Little knowledge on tick risk among secondary school students indicate the necessity for cooperation between teachers, epidemiologists, and health service providers in order to propagate the knowledge on parasites, symptoms, spread and methods of prevention.

The study focuses on the socio-professional group of foresters in Zvolen, with the emphasis on the interaction between the group and the town. It works on the assumption that the group is involved in creating the image of the town image in a specific way. The introduction to the study focuses on the transformation in professions within the social and urban context, which had happened in connection with the changes in the nature of work, the changing socio-political climate, and the introduction of modern technologies and innovative processes. The main section highlights the geographical, natural, historical, cultural and social determinants, state and political decisions, as well as support initiatives of town´s representatives, which affected the formation of the researched group. The group presents itself by means of an established network of forestry institutions, buildings and specific spaces, which complete the overall architectural and urban image of the town. The research illustrated that the socioprofessional group influences the educational as well as the employment structure of inhabitants and by means of educational, cultural and social activities it is becoming a creator and co-shaper of town´s/municipal specifics. The interaction between the group and the town also includes the creation of policy and development projects, which resulted in fulfilling the visions and image of the town of Zvolen as a forestry town.

BackgroundThis study is aimed at evaluating the awareness among hunters and foresters concerning the activities undertaken for the prevention of Borrelia burgdorferi infections.Material and MethodsThe study group included 236 hunters from Poland and 339 foresters from Ukraine. The study was based on an original questionnaire including questions which concerned the applied methods of removing ticks attached to the skin, the kind of preventive measures undertaken to avoid tick bites, the evaluation of knowledge concerning the prevention of tick-borne diseases, as well as the participants’ willingness to be educated on this issue.ResultsRemoving a tick with a pair of tweezers by a simple vertical move was more frequently practiced by the hunters (16.5%). Spreading an oily substance over a tick to make it go out on its own was more often applied by the foresters (18.8%). The occurrence of erythema migrans was more frequently reported by the foresters (47.2%). Among the persons declaring no knowledge of the prevention of tick-borne diseases, 77.8% of the hunters and 61.5% of the foresters were willing to gain such knowledge, and 11.1% of the hunters and 21.2% of the foresters did not want any education on this issue. The hunters more often than the foresters applied repellents and checked their body after returning from green areas.ConclusionsEducation is needed in certain groups undertaking hobby or vocational activities in forest areas of Poland and Ukraine. It seems reasonable to undertake research on the preferences concerning the choice of repellents among the groups at risk of tick bites.

WstępBadania miały na celu ocenę świadomości myśliwych i leśników w zakresie działań podejmowanych w celu zapobiegania zakażeniom Borrelia burgdorferi.Materiał i metodyGrupa badana liczyła 236 myśliwych z Polski i 339 leśników z Ukrainy. Badanie zostało oparte na oryginalnym kwestionariuszu zawierającym pytania dotyczące stosowanych metod usuwania wkłutych kleszczy, rodzaju środków zapobiegawczych podejmowanych w celu uniknięcia pokłucia przez kleszcze i oceny wiedzy dotyczącej zapobiegania chorobom przenoszonym przez kleszcze, a także potrzeby edukacji tym zakresie.WynikiUsunięcie kleszcza za pomocą pęsety częściej praktykowali myśliwi z Polski (16,5%), a smarowanie wkłutego kleszcza substancją oleistą, aby samoczynnie odpadł, stosowali leśnicy z Ukrainy (18,8%). Występowanie rumienia wędrującego (erythema migrans) po pokłuciu przez kleszcza częściej zgłaszali leśnicy z Ukrainy (47,2%). Spośród osób deklarujących brak wiedzy na temat profilaktyki chorób odkleszczowych ponad 78% myśliwych i 61% leśników chciało zdobyć taką wiedzę. Ponad 11% myśliwych i 21% leśników nie widziało jednak potrzeby edukacji w tym zakresie. Myśliwi częściej niż leśnicy deklarowali stosowanie repelentów i sprawdzanie ciała po powrocie z terenów zielonych.Wnioski Prowadzenie działań edukacyjnych jest niezbędne wśród osób podejmujących działalność hobbystyczną i zawodową na obszarach leśnych Polski oraz Ukrainy. Uzasadnione wydaje się przeprowadzenie badań dotyczących preferencji w wyborze repelentów wśród grup zagrożonych pokłuciem przez kleszcze.
