Wstęp: Zachowania zdrowotne są efektem ukształtowanej postawy wobec zdrowia, a szczególnie poczucia odpowiedzialności za swoje zdrowie i współodpowiedzialności za zdrowie innych. Istotną rolę w wyborze zachowań zdrowotnych pełni umiejscowienie kontroli zdrowia. Charakteryzuje się ono przekonaniem o możliwości wpływania na stan własnego zdrowia i jego poprawę. Młodzież akademicka jest grupą szczególnie narażoną na występowanie niekorzystnych zachowań zdrowotnych. cel badań: Celem badań była ocena związku pomiędzy wybranymi zachowaniami zdrowotnymi młodzieży akademickiej a umiejscowieniem kontroli zdrowia. Materiał i metoda: Badaniem objęto grupę 194 studentów Państwowej Wyższej Szkoły Zawodowej w Sanoku. Zastosowano autorski kwestionariusz ankiety oraz Wielowymiarową Skalę Umiejscowienia Kontroli Zdrowia MHLC–B. Do opracowania statystycznego wykorzystano test niezależności chi- kwadrat. Wyniki i wnioski: Analiza wybranych zachowań zdrowotnych pozwala stwierdzić, że zdecydowana większość młodzieży akademickiej nie pali papierosów, natomiast prawie ¾ studentów deklaruje picie alkoholu. Nie wykazano zależności pomiędzy zachowaniami ryzykownymi, tj. paleniem papierosów i piciem alkoholu a umiejscowieniem kontroli zdrowia.

Introduction. Health behaviours result from the mature attitude towards health, especially the awareness of being responsible for one’s health as well as joint responsibility for health status of other people. Health locus of control plays an important role in the choice of pro-health behaviours. It is characterised by the conviction that one may inflence his/her own health status and its improvement. University youth is a group of people at special risk of adverse health behaviours. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between selected health behaviours presented by university students with respect to health locus of control. Material and methods. The study included 194 students of the Higher Vocational School in Sanok. A survey questionnaire developed by the authors was used together with Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale MHLC-B. Statistical analysis included the chi square test of independence. results and conclusions. The analysis of selected health behaviours led to the conclusion that the vast majority of university students did not smoke, however almost three quarters of students declared drinking alcohol. No relation between risky behaviours like smoking or drinking alcohol and health locus of control was found.

ObjectivesThe aim of the presented study was to compare the health locus of control (HLC) between employed and unemployed patients after kidney transplantation (KT), and to investigate the relationship between HLC and the quality of life (QoL).Material and MethodsThe study group consisted of 101 KT patients and the control group of 60 hemodialysis (HD) patients. The applied methods were: the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Questionnaire (MHLC), the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQoL-BREF), and a survey collecting information on the socio-demographic status and work experience.ResultsOverall, 57.5% of KT patients were employed and 42.5% were unemployed. In the HD group, 25% were employed and 71% were unemployed, while 4% did not disclose their employment status. The unemployed KT patients, in comparison with the employed ones, presented a higher feeling of the impact of chance on their health (unemployed M±SD 23.68±6.59; employed M±SD 21.02±4.57) and a lower level of QoL on the Somatic Scale (unemployed Me = 14.00, IQR = 3.00; employed Me = 1450, IQR = 3.00) and the Environmental Scale (unemployed M±SD 15.39±2.83; employed M±SD 16.85±3.24). In the employed KT group, the Internal Control Scale (MHLC) correlated with all QoL scales (the Somatic Scale: r = 0.292, p = 0.036; the Psychological Scale: r = 0.455, p = 0.001; the Social Scale: r = 0.304, p = 0.029; and the Environmental Scale: r = 0.307, p = 0.027). In the unemployed KT group, the Internal Control Scale (MHLC) correlated significantly with the Somatic Scale (r = 0.396, p = 0.013) and the Psychological Scale (r = 0.374, p = 0.019).ConclusionsThe employed KT patients have a higher level of independence, with results indicating a strong internal type. Additionally, the working patients assess their QoL better, both in terms of their health condition and the organization of satisfying environment. The obtained knowledge about the psychological characteristics of KT patients may be useful for the occupational activation programs and psycho-education for those with weaker predispositions.
