The article presents the results of the fifth bi-seasonal survey conducted in 2004- 2005 within the framework of the longitudinal study of the time use, everyday activity and living conditions of the rural population. The study is conducted on a sample group of villages representative of the south of Siberia in rather different historical periods. The emphasis is made on changes that have taken place in the rural everyday life and on the use of time during the last two decades; in particular, in the beginning of the new century. It presents the results of the analysis of the time budgets of working women and working men and their answers to questions concerning the facts of reality, their assessments and values. In the early 2000s the working time of men increased, while their time spent on private plot production and housework decreased. Similar situation was observed in the case of women; however, the time spent on household production increased. More pronounced changes were observed among agricultural workers, especially men (increasing working time and decreasing time of housework, sleep and leisure). On the whole, there was a noticeable redistribution of time between work in the house and household production and work in the agricultural enterprise being the source of the material well-being of the rural family. The male-female difference in the total work load and leisure time has decreased.

Background The aim of this work is to provide empirical evidence regarding types and increasing prevalence of mental disorders affecting Polish working population in the years 2014–2016. The research questions concerned the specific characteristics of the types of mental disorders and their prevalence as well as the differences between males and females. Material and Methods Types of mental disorders were investigated using a clinical method, a structured interview, as well as medical record data gathered in the years 2014–2016 in one mental health treatment center. The study was conducted in the population of 1578 working individuals aged 18–64 years old, in various forms of employment, including flexible employment (self-employment, task assignment agreement) and contract employment. The research population consisted of 998 females and 580 males, aged 18–64 years old. The study aimed at investigating types and the prevalence rate of mental disorders developed in the examined working Poles, also with reference to the sex of the study participants as well as the age at which they started seeking treatment. Results The prevailing disorders include neurotic disorders; diagnosed according to the 10th Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) classification as a range of anxiety disorders, mixed anxiety-depressive disorders, stress-related and somatoform disorders; as well as personality disorders. The prevalence rate of the aforementioned disorders was found to be higher among working females than in the group of working males. Conclusions The overall study conclusions based on the research data analysis point to the fact that the prevalence rate of various types of mental disorders displayed by the examined working males and females increased significantly in the years 2014–2016.

Objectives To investigate if effort–reward imbalance (ERI) and overcommitment (OC) are associated with all-cause and mental disorder long-term sick leave (LS), and to identify differences in associations between genders, private versus public sector employees and socioeconomic status groups. Material and Methods The study uses a cross-sectional case-control design with a sample of 3477 persons on long-term sick leave of more than 59 days and a control group of 2078 in employment. Data on sick leave originate from social insurance registers, while data on health, working and living conditions were gathered through a survey. The binary logistic regression was used to test the multivariate associations. Results Effort–reward imbalance was associated with all-cause LS among the women (odds ratio (OR) = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.2–2.08), but not among the men. Associations for mental disorder LS were evident for both ERI and OC among both genders (ERI/OC: women OR = 2.76/2.82; men OR = 2.18/2.92). For the men these associations were driven by high effort, while for the women it was low job esteem in public sector and low job security in private sector. Among the highly educated women, ERI was strongly related to mental disorder LS (OR = 6.94, 95% CI: 3.2–15.04), while the highly educated men seemed to be strongly affected by OC for the same outcome (OR = 5.79, 95% CI: 1.48–22.57). Conclusions The study confirmed the independent roles of ERI and OC for LS, with stronger associations among the women and for mental disorders. The ERI model is a promising tool that can contribute to understanding the prevailing gender gap in sick leave and increasing sick leave due to mental disorders.

Wstęp: Samoocena stanu zdrowia stosowana jest w ochronie zdrowia i w konsekwencji wpływa na absencję chorobową populacji pracującej. Celem badania była ocena zależności między zmiennymi społeczno-ekonomicznymi, wybranymi formami zachowań prozdrowotnych a subiektywną oceną stanu zdrowia osób pracujących. Materiał i metody: Badaniem objęto 599 osób – 331 kobiet (55,3%) i 268 mężczyzn (44,7%) w wieku 18–67 lat, pracujących na terenie województwa świętokrzyskiego. Narzędziem badania był kwestionariusz zawierający pytania dotyczące stanu zdrowia i zachowań zdrowotnych w zakresie stylu życia. Przeprowadzono pomiary antropometryczne. W analizie statystycznej wykorzystano test niezależności Chi². W celu oceny wpływu wybranych cech na samoocenę stanu zdrowia badanych zastosowano analizę regresji logistycznej jedno- i wieloczynnikowej. Wyniki: W wieloczynnikowej analizie regresji logistycznej cechami istotnie zwiększającymi szansę bardzo dobrej lub dobrej samooceny stanu zdrowia okazały się: wiek do 39 lat (iloraz szans (odds ratio – OR) = 4,17; 95% przedział ufności (confidence interval – CI): 1,72–10,10; p < 0,002), wykształcenie wyższe (OR = 3,01; 95% CI: 1,04–8,70; p < 0,05) i dbałość o zdrowie (OR = 4,77; 95% CI: 2,81–8,09; p < 0,001). Wnioski: Pracujące osoby z wykształceniem wyższym mają lepszą kontrolę nad własnym zdrowiem i w konsekwencji lepszą jego percepcję. Konieczne jest monitorowanie samooceny stanu zdrowia pracujących jako istotnego wskaźnika oceny stanu zdrowia pracowników i zapotrzebowania na opiekę medyczną. Med. Pr. 2015;66(1):17–28

Background: Self-rated health relates to the use of medical help and, as a consequence, determines sick leave in the population of employees. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic variables, selected forms of positive health behaviour and subjective evaluation of health in employees. Material and Methods: Five hundred and 99 subjects were included in the study – 331 females and 268 males, aged 18–67, working in the area of the Świętokrzyskie province. The authors’ survey questionnaire on the selected elements of the state of health and positive health behavior in life style has been used in the study. Anthropometric measures were carried out. A Chi² test for independence was used in the statistical analysis. In order to evaluate the effect of the selected factors on the self-rated health of the studied subjects the researchers have applied single- and multiple-factor logistic regression. Results: In the multiple-factor logistic regression the features contributing to good or excellent self-rated health were the following: age up to 39 (odds ratio – OR = 4.17; 95% confidence interval – CI: 1.72–10.10; p < 0.002), higher education (OR = 3.01; 95% CI: 1.04–8.70; p < 0.05) and care for health (OR = 4.77; 95% CI: 2.81–8.09; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Working people with higher education are characterized by a better control over their own health and, consequently, by a better perception of it. Monitoring self-rated health in a working population is an invaluable indicator in the evaluation of health in employees and the need for medical care. Med Pr 2015;66(1):17–28

W artykule przeanalizowano związki między pasją pracy a poznawczymi strategiami radzenia sobie oraz ich rolę w występowaniu symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności podczas pandemii COVID-19 w populacji pracowników różnych sektorów zatrudnienia. Badanie przeprowadzono na próbie 317 pracowników. Wykorzystano Skalę pasji, Kwestionariusz poznaw-czej regulacji emocji, Kwestionariusz zdrowia pacjenta-9, Kwestionariusz lęku uogólnionego-7 oraz Ateń-ską skalę bezsenności. W badaniach potwierdzono, iż poznawcze strategie radzenia sobie mediują związki między pasją pracy a symptomami depresji, lęku i bezsenności. Pasja harmonijna pracy była związana z adaptacyjnymi po-znawczymi strategiami radzenia sobie (np. pozytywne przewartościowanie, koncentracja na planowaniu), które z kolei wiązały się z mniejszym nasileniem symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności. Natomiast pasja obsesyjna pracy wykazała pozytywny związek z nieadaptacyjnymi poznawczymi strategiami radzenia sobie (np. katastrofizowanie, ruminacja), co ostatecznie wiązało się z większym nasileniem symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności. Pasja harmonijna pracy wiązała się z niższym poziomem symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności poprzez stosowanie adaptacyjnych poznawczych strategii radzenia sobie, natomiast pasja obsesyjna pracy wiązała się z wyższym nasileniem uwzględnionych symptomów poprzez stosowanie nieadaptacyjnych poznaw-czych strategii radzenia sobie z pandemią COVID-19.

This study examines the relationships between work passion and cognitive coping strategies, and their relevance to the occurrence of depressive, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms during the COVID-19 pan-demic in the working population. The study was conducted on a total sample of 317 employees. The Passion Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, and the Athens Insomnia Scale were used. Study confirmed that cognitive coping strategies are a mediator in the relationship between work passion and the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. The harmonious work passion was associated with adaptive cognitive coping strategies (e.g., positive reappraisal, planning), which were associated with lower intensity of depressive, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms. The obsessive work passion, in turn, was associated positively with maladaptive cognitive coping strategies (e.g., catastrophizing, rumina-tion), which related to a greater intensity of depressive, anxiety and insomnia symptoms. Harmonious work passion is related to lower level of mental health symptoms through the use of adaptive cognitive coping strategies, while obsessive work passion is linked to a higher intensity of the negative symptoms through the use of maladaptive cognitive coping strategies used dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
