The theoretical rationale was the author’s Functional Model of Health (FMH), where health is construed as a function of creative coping with stress. Participants in the study were 141 patients with blood cancer (80 men and 61 women) treated with bone marrow transplantation at the Hematology Clinic, Jagiellonian University Collegium Medicum. Besides a standardized interview the following instruments were used: STAI by Spielberger, CISS and CHIP by Endler and Parker, and SOC-29 by Antonovsky. Health status was operationalized using 10-point self-rating scales to assess the patients’ perceived health and sense of calmness, while their objective health was rated by a medical expert - hematologist. In the statistical analyses significant correlations were found between stress level and the patients’ subjective health (-0.34, p<0.001). The following variables predicted stress intensity: anxious personality (.585), distraction coping strategy (-.202), female sex (.201), and sense of meaningfulness (-.190). Subjective health predictors of leukemia patients are: objective health (ß = .413), level of stress (ß = -.285), by the patient’s sense of meaningfulness (ß = .244) and focusing on negative emotions (ß = -.193). To promote patients’ health moreover, their sense of meaningfulness in life and in being active should be supported and enhanced.

The article discusses the health issues of musically gifted young people, who, due to the nature of music education, are exposed to experiencing stage fright, understood as a specific type of stress that does not necessarily has negative impact on health. The purpose of the research was to answer the questions concerning the level of health of secondary school music students and its determinants. The Functional Health Model developed by Helena Wrona-Polańska (2003) was adopted as a theoretical basis, according to which health is a function of creative coping with stress. Health and stage fright were defined operationally. In the research the standardized interview and questionnaire techniques developed by the author were used. The research group comprised 132 students of secondary music schools. The results have shown that a quarter of students rate their health as bad, whereas more than half experience high level of stage fright and its symptoms, and cope with stage fright by focusing on emotions. Stage fright and emotional style have turned out to be negative predictors of health. The results point to the need of implementing interventions aimed at promoting the health of young people engaged in music education.
