ObjectivesThe main aim of this work is to assess the level of knowledge about diabetes prevention and the consequences of untreated diabetes in the Polish society, as well as to indicate the variables that have a significant impact on that knowledge.Material and MethodsThe analysis is based on the results of the National Multicenter Health Survey – WOBASZ II. The number of subjects surveyed was 6170, including 2760 men and 3410 women, aged 20–74 years. Data on socio-demographic variables, lifestyle and subjective health assessment were collected using the face-to-face technique.ResultsThe results obtained in the WOBASZ II project showed that >85% of the respondents had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge about diabetes prevention methods and approximately to 85% of the respondents – about the consequences of untreated diabetes. Moreover, one-fourth of the respondents were unable to identify a single way of preventing diabetes, and more than one-third could not identify a single disease caused by diabetes. The risk of a lack of knowledge about diabetes prevention and the consequences of untreated diabetes is more common for men, people with a low level of education, not married, non-diabetic, and without diagnosed diabetes in the family.ConclusionsThe presented results indicate that there is an prevailing lack of knowledge about diabetes prevention and the consequences of untreated diabetes in the Polish society. It is associated with several variables like: sex, level of education, age, marital status, subjective health assessment and diabetes diagnosed in the respondent and/or in the respondent’s family.

Introduction: One of the most important legal acts defining the profession of nurse and midwife is the Act of 15 July 2011. In order to consciously and responsibly carry out professional tasks, it is important to know it. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge of nursing and midwifery students on selected aspects of the nursing and midwifery act. Material and methods: The method of a diagnostic survey was used to create an original questionnaire consisting of a metric and questions directly related to the act. Appropriate calculations were made using the packages Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics, and basic descriptive statistics were analyzed using the U Mann-Whitney test and Spearman’s rho correlation. Results: 69.9% of the respondents had a low level of knowledge on selected issues of the act, and only 1% had a high level. No correlation was observed between students’ knowledge and the analyzed variables. Conclusions: The level of knowledge of students is unsatisfactory and indicates the need for training in the field of this act, because the aspects discussed therein are necessary for the proper and conscious performance of the professions of nurse and midwife.

Wprowadzenie: Jednym z najważniejszych aktów prawnych definiujących zawód pielęgniarki i położnej jest ustawa z 15 lipca 2011 roku. Aby świadomie i odpowiedzialnie realizować zadania zawodowe, istotna jest jej znajomość. Celem badania była ocena wiedzy studentów pielęgniarstwa i położnictwa na temat wybranych aspektów ustawy o zawodach pielęgniarki i położnej. Materiał i metody: Posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego, tworząc autorski kwestionariusz ankiety, składający się z metryczki oraz pytań właściwych dotyczących bezpośrednio ustawy. Za pomocą programu Microsoft Excel oraz pakietu IBM SPSS Statistics wykonano odpowiednie wyliczenia oraz przeprowadzono analizę podstawowych statystyk opisowych z użyciem testu U Manna-Whitneya oraz korelacji rho Spearmana. Wyniki: 69,9% badanych charakteryzowało się niskim poziomem wiedzy na temat wybranych zagadnień ustawy, a jedynie 1% poziomem wysokim. Nie zaobserwowano korelacji pomiędzy wiedzą studentów a analizowanymi zmiennymi. Wnioski: Poziom wiedzy studentów nie jest satysfakcjonujący i wskazuje na konieczność dokształcenia w zakresie ustawy, gdyż aspekty w niej poruszane są niezbędne do prawidłowego i świadomego wykonywania zawodów pielęgniarki i położnej.
