Objectives: Panic behavior poses a particular threat to the health and safety of subaquatic occupational specialists. Trait anxiety has previously been identified as a marker of panic behavior under water, and Spielberger’s State-Trait Personality Inventory (trait anxiety subscale) has been previously used to measure trait anxiety among subaquatic specialists. Using archived data, the trait anxiety scores of subaquatic specialists were analyzed to meet 3 objectives: 1stly – to develop a trait anxiety profile of subaquatic specialists; 2ndly – to investigate the predictive value of trait anxiety measures upon entering an occupational field; and 3rdly – to establish the reliability of these scores over time. Material and Methods: Archival trait-anxiety data from 322 subjects were analyzed statistically. Results: Analysis of the available scores revealed a highly homogenous as well as a very low trait anxiety profile for the investigated occupational group. Additionally, low trait anxiety was somewhat associated with success during specialist training: fewer candidates with high trait anxiety scores completed their qualification. Moreover, measurement of trait anxiety was stable over time, which suggests that when scores for this occupational group are screened, deviations from previous scores could signify a potential need for referral to an intervention from health professionals. Conclusions: Using the trait anxiety subscale as part of occupational health surveillance of subaquatic specialists could support prevention of accidents by identifying high-risk candidates during their annual health assessments, and referral for timeous intervention.

Objectives Anxiety is a negative emotion that acts as a mediator between stress stimuli and emotional (physiological) reaction patterns. The myofascial system is particularly sensitive to stress. The aim of this study was to determine which of the 2 popular methods used to reduce psychophysical tension, i.e., soft tissue manipulation and Jacobson’s progressive relaxation, is more effective. Material and Methods This study was conducted at Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sports in the sports psychology laboratory and the manual therapy room. After performing specialist consultations and interviews to exclude potential participants with contraindications to any of the interventions, the final sample included 90 people who were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups. In group I, soft tissue techniques were applied, including the techniques of post-isometric muscle relaxation, elements of myofascial relaxation of tissues, and elastic tissue deformation using the Swedish massage limited to the cervicothoracic complex. In group II, Jacobson’s progressive relaxation was performed. The training consisted of tightening and relaxing specific muscle groups. The experiment was conducted under an ambulatory condition, consisting of a single physiotherapeutic session (group I) or a single progressive relaxation session using the Jacobson method (group II). The level of anxiety was assessed twice, i.e., immediately before and after the therapy. Results According to a repeated-measures ANOVA, each therapeutic impact was effective in reducing the level of perceived anxiety. Furthermore, the level of perceived anxiety in group I decreased significantly more than that in group II. Conclusions In conclusion, both the soft tissue manipulation and Jacobson’s progressive relaxation techniques were efficient methods of minimizing the negative effects of stress.

The study focuses on basic relations between some personality characteristics of mothers and their subjective perceptions of infant crying. It presents the method of Feelings about Infant Crying and discusses its possible utilization for research purposes. The data on 125 women who participated in the research were gathered during the third trimester of their pregnancy and between 4th and 8th week after delivery. The study revealed that depression, trait anxiety, maternal self-esteem and infant rearing attitudes correlate with maternal feelings about infant crying.

Studie se zabývá základními souvislostmi mezi některými osobnostními charakteristikami matek a subjektivním vnímáním kojeneckého pláče. Představuje metodu Pocity z kojeneckého pláče (PKP) a její moţné vyuţití pro výzkumné účely. Výzkumný soubor tvořilo 125 respondentek. Sběr dat probíhal v 3. trimestru těhotenství a ve 4-8 týdnech po narození dítěte. Bylo zjištěno, ţe depresivita, rysová úzkostnost, mateřský selfesteem a výchovné postoje souvisejí s pocity, které v matce vyvolává pláč dítěte.
