DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8UnC

Abstract
In order to explore the comparison of Chinese and international frontier hots pots and development trend on physical literacy in education (PLIE) research, 118 research articles included in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and 1439 research articles included in Web of Science (WOS) core collection related to “physical literacy in education” were used as the research objects. CiteSpace V (version 5.8.R3 – 64 bit) is used to create a visual knowledge map of this research field and analyzed the time distribution, authors, institutions and keywords. The results show that the time distribution of research stages in China is generally consistent with that of international research. Although Chinese research in this field is also among the top in the world, the distribution of authors and institutions is more homogeneous than international ones, and the cooperation between authors and institutions is very weak. In terms of the age distribution of the study population, international studies cover almost all age groups and are more diverse in research content. In contrast, Chinese research is limited to focus on adolescents and college students, and the research content is mostly on physical education and school physical education. There is still a gap between China and the international advanced level in the field of PLIE research, and it is necessary to strengthen the longitudinal and interdisciplinary exploration in the future. The concept of physical literacy needs to be further researched and defined and more research results need to be published in influential journals to expand the influence of the field of PLIE research both in China and internationally.

Katarzyna Weber-Nowakowska, Weronika Niewiarowska, Anita Kulik, Magdalena Gębska, Agata Chilman, Łukasz Kołodziej – The level of parents’ knowledge about body posture defects in early school age children. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(1); 88-96

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG07B237

Abstract
Objective. The main objective of the study is to assess the knowledge of parents/guardians about body posture defects in children at early school age. During the study, additional objectives were set regarding the determination of the level of parents’ knowledge in selected topics. These topics concerned the type of body posture defects in children, factors influencing their formation, as well as determining the knowledge of parents in the use of preventive measures.
Material and methods. The study group consisted of 300 parents of children at early school age. The study was conducted on the basis of an original, anonymous questionnaire consisting of 24 questions. Respondents provided answers to questions concerning, among others, the source of obtaining information on posture defects, knowledge of individual posture defects and methods of prevention.
Results. The study showed that people living in larger towns/cities and having higher education have a wider range of knowledge in the field of body posture defects. In addition, respondents with higher education know and use posture defect prevention methods much more often than people with lower education. According to the respondents, wearing a backpack on one shoulder is one of the most common causes of posture defects. Parents who do not know whether their child has a posture defect relatively rarely use preventive methods.

Ryszard Rutkowski, Joanna Rutkowska, Krzysztof Rutkowski, Zenon Siergiejko – Selected aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation. Fizjoterapia Polska 2009; 9(1); 21-30

Abstract
Our review article summarizes current knowledge on medical rehabilitation with special emphasis on rehabilitation in respiratory conditions. Medical rehabilitation entails a multidisciplinary approach to chronically ill and disabled patients sen/ing to restore the highest possible physical, mental and professional capacity allowing patients to function actively and independently within the limitations placed upon them by their disorder The beneficial effects of rehabilitation depend considerably on careful planning of action to be taken in the course of treatment of chronic functional disorders and the feasibility of its continuation in the community The American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) recommend pulmonary rehabilitation in the therapy of chronic respiratory conditions. It has been defined as a multidisciplinary approach providing an indMdually designed multi-speciality programme incorporating the diagnosis, treatment, education and psychological techniąues to stabilise and/or re-vert the physiological and psychopathological symptoms of chronic respiratory conditions. A well designed pulmonary rehabilitation programme encompasses educating patients and their relatives, healthy life style and nutritional (weight correction) advice as well as appropriate psychological intentions. Patient education is the cornerstone of comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation and remains the shared duty of patients, their families, GPs and all other members of the therapeutic team. Counselling and nutritional advice are important components of the educational programme as they influence patients’ general well-being and fitness.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2010; 10(4); 307-316

Abstract
Background. The present paper analyses and compares the factors that motivate female and male students of physiotherapy to take up these studies and examines students awareness of the employment situation in their future profession.
Material and methods. The diagnostic poll method (anonymous and voluntary question naire). The study sample comprised 1st year Bachelor programme students from eleven university-level schools. The statistical analysis was based on question naires obtained from 954 students. The survey was carried out in 2006, at the beginning of the 1st semester of the Bachelor’s programme. Outcome measures The Mann–Whitney U test was used at a significance level of p<0.05. Results. Personal interest was the only factor that influenced the decision to study physiotherapy and differentiated between the male and female students. For a significantly higher percentage of the female students (p<0.001), studying physiotherapy had been a life-long ambition. The vast majority of the students stated that they were not familiar with all opportunities for finding employment as physiotherapists. The vast majority of the students believed that it is easy to find employment as a physiotherapist in other European Union countries, with female students stating so significantly more frequently (p<0.05) than their male counter parts
Conclusion. Men and women share similar expectations of their future job and motivations

Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(1); 178-186

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG079497

Abstract
Introduction. When performed according to the most recent standards, rehabilitation and nebulization enable the prevention of progression of cystic fibrosis.
Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the parents’ knowledge concerning the disease, education of pro-health attitudes, taking care of pulmonary rehabilitation equipment, and following the recommendations on how to perform inhalations correctly.
Materials and methods. Seventy-four parents with at least one child affected by cystic fibrosis participated in a survey, where we applied our own questionnaire.
Results. A majority of the parents claim to possess knowledge about the disease and to be familiar with the specialist terminology; however, a control question does not confirm that. Only 50% of the respondents take advantage of a positive influence of physical effort on the respiratory function, whereas 50% of the children assume incorrect positions during nebulization, and merely half of the parents maintain nebulization equipment in the right way.
Conclusions. Parents still need further education concerning their children’s condition, the principles of their rehabilitation, hygiene, the ways of properly maintaining the equipment, as well as dosing the suitable amount of physical activity on a daily basis.

W. Kiebzak, M. Kosztołowicz, M. Rusin, M. Kiljański, M. Kiebzak – Cultural Good as the Basis of Culture and Ethics. FP 2016;16(4);48-60

Abstract

Introduction. The ethical culture of physiotherapists encompass their attitudes and ethical beliefs, at every stage of their education and the actual job performance. The professional culture may be created by introducing the adequate ethics program. Both culture and ethics complement each other, and they reinforce the new principles and attitudes of people. The culture plays an important role in the daily life of every professional group, providing a common language and a shared way of behavior.
Aim of the Study. The aim of the study is to find a method allowing to formulate the definition of cultural good based on the results of used questions.
Materials and Methods. In the study participated a group of 141 persons who, at the time, were physiotherapy students. The study was carried out at the turn of 2015 and 2016. The research tool applied is a questionnaire. The method used to evaluate the results is the chi-squared test (χ2).
Results. The results have shown, that the physiotherapy students considered the following as cultural goods: esteem for health, propriety, tact, kindness, and responsibility, however these values are poorly related to the satisfaction derived from the fact of studying the physiotherapy.
Conclusion. The cultural good serves people, in a positive sense, through existence of the ethical triad, which should lead to the effective, positive man-to-man interaction.

J. Pokaczajło, T. Tasiemski – Analysis of selected determinants of knowledge about the health in persons with spinal cord injury. FP 2016; 16(3);106-116

Abstract
Aim of the Study. The main aim of this study has been to analyze the selected factors determining level of knowledge of the health condition of persons after the spinal cord injury (SCI). Selected variables have been divided into two groups:  1)  Socio-demographic: age on the day of the test, gender, marital status, level of education, place of residence, and 2)  associated with the SCI: age on the day of the injury, time elapsed from the injury, participation in the Active Rehabilitation (AR) camps, clinical picture, i.e. paraplegia/quadriplegia.
Materials and Methods. In the study participated 100 persons after the SCI (22 women and 78 men), dependent on a wheelchair in the everyday functions. To carry out the study, we have used the test of knowledge of the health condition of persons after the SCI.
Results. The mean score obtained by the respondents in the test of knowledge has been 27.11 points (Derived from the range: 10-45 points), which indicates a sufficient knowledge of the health condition of persons after the SCI. The best knowledge the respondents have shown on the issues related to nutrition and diet. The least knowledgeable they were in the areas of requesting support and orthopedic supplies. The factors significantly differentiating the level of knowledge about the health of persons after the SCI included: participation in the AR camps, age on the day of the injury and the time elapsed from the day of the injury.
Conclusions. The overall evaluation of knowledge as sufficient, and the unsatisfactory results within the particular areas of the functioning of persons after the SCI, have indicated the issues, which during the process of rehabilitation and education of the patients should be given particular attention.
