This study examines the influence of self-efficacy and socio-demographic factors on the entrepreneurial intentions of selected Youth Corp members. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design and a sample size of 300 National Youth Service Corp members were randomly selected in the five divisions of Lagos State with ages ranging from 18 to 30. Three hypotheses were tested using multiple regression and t-tests. The results show that there is a significant joint influence of sex, age, ethnicity and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions (r2 = 0.90; P <.01]; male participants are more susceptible to entrepreneurial intentions than their female counterparts [t = 26.46, P <.01] and that Youth Corp members with a high self-efficacy rate significantly higher on entrepreneurial intentions (t = 25.09, P <.01]. Based on these findings, the study recommended that a self-efficacy programme should be included in the school curriculum so as to enhance entrepreneurial intentions among fresh graduates and, by so doing, reducing the high rate of unemployment in society. It was also recommended that future studies should use a larger sample and explore experimental methods so as to see if a causal relationship can be established among variables.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of daily cigarette smoking among adults in Poland. Materials and Methods: A nationally representative household study was implemented between 2009 and 2010 to explore smoking pattern among the population aged 15 years and older. The smoking status and socio-demographic data were determined based on the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) questionnaire. Out of the 14 000 households selected for the survey, 7840 sampled persons completed the interviews, including 2162 respondents who declared daily smoking of cigarettes. Logistic regression models were applied to assess factors related to daily cigarette smoking. Results: Over 33% of men and 21% of women (p < 0.01) reported tobacco smoking on a daily basis. The significantly higher risk of smoking on a daily basis was observed among the male and female 20–59 years of age compared to the 60 or older population (p < 0.05). For men and women with the lower educational (primary/vocational/secondary) level, the risk of smoking was significantly higher than for the subjects with university degree (p < 0.05). The unemployed men smoked daily significantly more frequently than the employed ones (OR = 1.8; 95% CI: 1.4–2.4). This association was not observed among women (p > 0.05). The residents of urban areas smoked significantly more frequently than people living in rural settings (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Actions to tackle socio-economic inequalities in smoking need to be intensified. The antismoking efforts should be focused on the population of Poles at large and people with lower educational levels, unemployed men, and residents of large urban settings in particular. The tobacco control interventions should also address the population of women at reproductive age.

Objectives The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and the level of complementary and supplementary person–organization fit (P–O fit). Material and Methods The study sample was a group of 600 Polish workers, urban residents aged 19–65. Level of P–O fit was measured using the Subjective Person–Organization Fit Questionnaire by Czarnota-Bojarska. The binomial multivariate logistic regression was applied. The analyzes were performed separately for the men and women. Results Socio-demographic variables explained small percentage of the outcome variability. Gender differences were found. In the case of men shift work decreased complementary and supplementary fit, while long working hours decreased complementary fit. In the women, age was a stimulant of a complementary fit, involuntary job losses predicted both complementary and supplementary misfit. Additionally, relational responsibilities increased probability of supplementary P–O fit in the men. Conclusions Going beyond personality and competences as the factors affecting P–O fit will allow development of a more accurate prediction of P–O fit.

Wstęp i cel pracy: Celem pracy była ocena wpływu wybranych czynników społeczno-demograficznych (wiek, płeć, stan cywilny, miejsce zamieszkania, źródło utrzymania, warunki mieszkaniowe) na jakość życia osób po udarze mózgu. Materiał i metoda: Badaniem objęto 60 pacjentów po pierwszym, półkulowym udarze mózgu leczonych w 2012 roku w oddziale rehabilitacji w szpitalu wojewódzkim. Pomiaru jakości życia dokonano za pomocą polskiej wersji Skali Jakości Życia po Udarze Mózgu, która umożliwia uzyskanie profilu jakości życia w zakresie dwunastu podskal oraz ogólnej jakości życia. Wyniki: Jakość życia po udarze bardzo znacząco pogarsza się z wiekiem (rS= - 0,395; p<0,001). Najlepszą jakością życia wykazują się osoby aktywne zawodowo ( x = 4,04), tak więc źródło utrzymania bardzo silnie warunkuje jakość życia (F = 7,293; p<0,001). Warunki mieszkaniowe badanych wpływają także znamiennie na jakość życia (F = 3,715; p<0,05). Im lepsze warunki mieszkaniowe (przeciętne x = 2,77; dobre x = 2,96; bardzo dobre x = 3,69), tym lepsza jakość życia. Wnioski: Badanie wykazało zależność jakości życia od wieku, warunków mieszkaniowych, a także od źródła utrzymania. Płeć oraz miejsce zamieszkania nie warunkują jakości życia badanych w żadnej z ocenianych sfer.

Introduction and aim: The aim of the paper was to evaluate the influence of chosen socio-demographic factors (age, gender, marital status, place of residence, source of income, housing conditions) on quality of life of stroke patients. Material and methods: Research included 60 patients after their first hemispheric stroke treated in 2012 at the rehabilitation ward of a provincial hospital. The measurement of quality of life was conducted by means of the Polish version of Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale which enables obtaining the profile of quality of life within twelve subscales and general quality of life. Results: Quality of life after stroke deteriorates significantly with age (rS= - 0,395; p<0,001). People who are professionally active show the best quality of life ( x = 4,04), so the source of income influences the quality of life strongly (F = 7,293; p<0,001). The housing conditions of the subjects also influence the quality of life strongly (F = 3,715; p<0,05). The better the housing conditions (average x = 2,77; good x = 2,96; very good x = 3,69), the better the quality of life. Conclusions: The quality of life of stroke survivors depends on the age, housing conditions and the source of living. Gender and place of living do not influence the quality of life of the subjects in any of the surveyed areas.

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the place of living on the prevalence of the alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) and to find its possible connections with socio-demographic data within a post-industrial city with a population > 100 000 inhabitants. Material and Methods The study was carried out in 2004–2012 on a group of 431 patients living in Bytom with diagnosed ADS treated either in psychiatric wards or in outpatient psychiatric clinics. The patients’ gender, age, employment, marital status, level of education and the fact of living in a given town district were analysed. The majority of the demographic data was obtained from the City Office. Results The study demonstrated the influence of the place of living, age, gender, level of education and employment on the prevalence of ADS in a post-industrial city. Conclusions Alcohol addicts who seek treatment are predominantly men > 40 years of age, with low education, mostly unemployed, living in the urbanized districts within the city center or the post-industrial area of the city, which are the areas with the highest risk of ADS. Living in a suburban neighborhood may protect against alcohol addiction due to the lower risk of exposure to environmental factors contributing to the prevalence of ADS. Additional protective factors include at least secondary education and paid employment prospects. The neighborhood of people with ADS has a particularly devastating effect on women, who are more likely to become addicted in such environments. Med Pr. 2019;70(2):221–8

Wstęp Celem pracy była ocena wpływu miejsca zamieszkania oraz innych wskaźników socjodemograficznych na częstość występowania zespołu zależności alkoholowej (ZZA) w mieście postindustrialnym liczącym > 100 tys. mieszkańców. Materiał i metody Badaniem przeprowadzonym w latach 2004–2012 objęto 431 pacjentów z rozpoznaniem ZZA leczonych ambulatoryjnie lub szpitalnie mieszkających w Bytomiu. Analizowano wiek, płeć, stosunek do pracy, stan cywilny, wykształcenie oraz miejsce zamieszkania w mieście (dzielnica). Większość danych demograficznych uzyskano z Urzędu Miasta. Wyniki Wykazano, że miejsce zamieszkania, płeć, wiek, wykształcenie i status zawodowy wpływają na rozkład występowania ZZA w obrębie dużego miasta postindustrialnego. Wnioski Osoby uzależnione od alkoholu zgłaszające się na leczenie to w większości mężczyźni > 40 r.ż., z niskim wykształceniem, najczęściej bez pracy, zamieszkujący zurbanizowane dzielnice w centrum miasta i poprzemysłową część miasta (obszary najbardziej zagrożone występowaniem ZZA). Zamieszkiwanie w dzielnicy o charakterze podmiejskim może chronić przed uzależnieniem od alkoholu ze względu na mniejsze ryzyko narażenia na czynniki środowiskowe wpływające na rozpowszechnienie ZZA. Dodatkowymi czynnikami ochronnymi są co najmniej średnie wykształcenie oraz praca zarobkowa. Sąsiedztwo osób z ZZA ma szczególnie destrukcyjny wpływ na kobiety, które częściej popadają w uzależnienie w sprzyjającym uzależnieniu środowisku. Med. Pr. 2019;70(2):221–228
