The main aim of the paper is to present the results of research concerning psychological and socio-cultural risk factors for development of negative anti-health (that is too restrictive and compensatory) attitude toward one’s body in young Polish women. The study comprised 120 women, of 20 to 25 years of age, with similar socio-demographic status (marital status, living and having been brought up in multi-generation families) who so far in the course of their lives have not disclosed mental or somatic disturbances (having accompanying manifestations of body image distortion). The theoretical theses for the research model were the contemporary cognitive concepts (multifactor models of body image dissatisfaction), as well as socio-cultural concepts. The following have been used in the study: thematic drawings (body images), the Contour Drawing Rating Scale (CDRS) developed by - developed by Thompson & Gray, the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) created by D. Garner (Polish version developed by C. Żechowski), The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire 3 (SATAQ 3), and questionnaire for behaviour towards the body (KZWC - Kwestionariusz Zachowań Wobec Ciała) (author’s own tool). The results confirmed the existence of negative attitude toward one’s own body, as well as development of inclinations for compensation-generating behaviour (application of various cleansing means and methods to change body weight and body image, which are disadvantageous for health). A group of risk factors has been identified, which may lead to the development of the above attitudes and behaviours toward one’s body in healthy women, who at the same time do not accept the image of their real bodies.

The paper is aimed at presenting some basic data concerning organization of postgraduate education of psychologists in clinical psychology, a specialization area which is applicable in health care It is also planned to emphasize the usefulness of educational programmes aimed at gaining specialization in clinical psychology, and to present their advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of a psychological practitioner. Irrespective of the drawbacks of the specialization training programmes, it is important to point to the fact that they give a chance to expand specialist knowledge in the fi eld of applied psychology and to apply it in practice with individuals who are in diffi cult health-related situations. While characterizing the procedure of educating clinical psychology specialists, it is also important to consider validity of the directions of postgraduate education with reference to contemporary standards and development objectives concerning the promotion of mental health in the European Union. The cohesion policy concerning health care in all EU countries requires maintaining the standards which support a holistic and coordinated approach to mental health care.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie podstawowych danych dotyczących organizacji kształcenia psychologów w zakresie specjalizacji z psychologii klinicznej jako dziedziny, mającej zastosowanie w ochronie zdrowia oraz wskazanie użyteczności kształcenia specjalizacyjnego z psychologii klinicznej i przedstawienie refl eksji na temat wad i zalet omawianego programu specjalizacji. Niezależnie od wskazanych braków dotyczących szczególnie samej procedury prowadzenia szkolenia specjalizacyjnego, jego wartością jest to, że daje ono szansę wzbogacania specjalistycznej wiedzy z zakresu psychologii stosowanej i stwarza możliwość jej zastosowania w praktyce wobec człowieka w sytuacji trudnej, związanej z chorobą. Charakteryzując procedurę kształcenia specjalistów psychologii klinicznej, warto podkreślić zasadność przyjętych kierunków tego kształcenia w odniesieniu do współczesnych standardów i celów rozwojowych, związanych z promocją zdrowia psychicznego w krajach Unii Europejskiej. Polityka spójności w zakresie ochrony zdrowia we wszystkich krajach Unii Europejskiej narzuca konieczność wspierania standardów wspomagających całościowe i skoordynowane podejście do ochrony zdrowia psychicznego.

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.

W artykule przedstawiono proces readaptacji zawodowej ofiary napadu na bank oraz implikacje praktyczne: zalecenia dla pracownika i pracodawcy, ułatwiające powrót do pracy po traumie napadu. Autorki zaprezentowały zespół stresu pourazowego – PTSD i jego przebieg, koncentrując się na konsekwencjach, jakie dotykają pracowników banku i kantoru, którzy są szczególnie narażeni na doświadczenie zbrojnego napadu. Poradzenie sobie z tą sytuacją jest zależne od umiejętnie udzielonego przez pracodawców wsparcia. Autorki uważają, że podstawowa wiedza na temat specyfiki przebiegu zespołu stresu pourazowego u pracownika banku czy kantoru – potencjalnej ofiary napadu, może istotnie wspierać obszar działań pracodawcy. Będzie on potrafił, po pierwsze, rozpoznać symptomy stresu poura¬zowego u swojego pracownika, po drugie – udzielić mu konkretnego wsparcia, stymulując jego motywację do podjęcia specjalistycznej pomocy psychologicznej (tzw. interwencji w kryzysie). Walorem artykułu są przede wszystkim jego praktyczne implikacje.

The article advances guidelines for the employee and employer that facilitate a return to work after the trauma of an assault. The authors present posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its development. They focus on the consequences of bank and currency exchange bureau workers who are particularly vulnerable to the experience of an armed robbery. Coping with such a situation is dependent on competent support by the employer. The authors believe that basic knowledge of the specific development of posttraumatic stress disorder in the case of a bank or currency exchange bureau worker—a potential assault victim—may provide significant support encompassing areas of employer activity. First, the employer will be able to recognize posttraumatic stress symptoms in the employee and, second, can provide concrete support stimulating an assault victim’s motivation to seek specialist psychological help (crisis intervention). The positive aspects of the article are primarily its practical implications.

Objectives The aim of this research is to present the search for psychosocial predictors explaining the strength of perceived stress in psychiatrists and the search for associations between stress and occupational burnout in psychiatrists. The authors also searched for associations between organizational, workload, family and non-professional – social factors and the intensity of occupational stress. Material and methods The group of 131 doctors – specialists in psychiatry, aged 27–86 years – took part in the study. The participants completed 3 questionnaires, i.e., the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Results: The results indicated that significant predictors of the development of occupational stress for psychiatrists were psychophysical exhaustion and lack of a sense of professional efficacy. Taking holidays (several times a year, pursuing the passions and interests), and having a stable family relationship (marriage or civil partnership) were also prominent among the predictors of stress. Results The results indicated that significant predictors of the development of occupational stress for psychiatrists were psychophysical exhaustion and lack of a sense of professional efficacy. Taking holidays (several times a year, pursuing the passions and interests), and having a stable family relationship (marriage or civil partnership) were also prominent among the predictors of stress. Conclusions Occupational stress and burnout in the work of the surveyed psychiatrists appeared to be a high intensity phenomenon. These results indicate the need to spread preventive health care also in the work of psychiatrists. Mainly in terms of maintaining the right balance between work and rest, which can help to reduce stress levels and protect against further development of burnout syndrome. Family resources such as a stable marriage or partnership may also be a protective factor against the build-up of stress and burnout in psychiatrists (mainly female). In addition, professional resources (work experience measured by number of years of work) is also important in explaining stress levels in psychiatrists.
