摘要
由于Covid-19大流行引发的危机影响了生活方式、工作和学习过程。政府已经颁布政策，采用新的习惯秩序来抑制Covid-19的传播，并继续转变人们的习惯。大学作为教育中心，通过健康促进研究和外展活动，在克服Covid-19大流行中担当跨学科、多学科和跨学科角色和贡献。大学在为Covid-19地方性流行病的准备中扮演着创新的角色，通过其在教育、研究和咨询方面的工作。随着大流行和后Covid-19的准备，大学正在加强支持，提供学术界健康服务，其中包括可持续的健康促进服务。Covid-19大流行后，校园内的健康促进可以通过采纳一般健康促进策略来实施，包括1) 跨部门协调，2) 重要性与可持续性，3) 学术界的赋权与参与，以及4) 公平性。在线教学后学生和教师的心理健康非常重要。社交媒体具有促进健康和其他健康干预措施的巨大潜力，因为它克服了传统健康沟通的一些局限，提高了可访问性、互动性、参与度、赋权和适应性。大学利用社交媒体进行健康促进有几个优势，即可访问性、方便性、低成本、与终端用户的互动、灵活性、地位和可见性。随着社交媒体参与度的良好势头，再加上新的健康促进焦点，提供基于数字媒体的在线健康促进服务是可能的行动之一。数字媒体对健康促进和其他健康干预活动有重大的前景。

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A753

摘要 研究目的。

该研究旨在评估居住在波兰和英国的波兰人在COVID-19大流行的第三年中呼吸困难水平以及呼吸困难与体育活动之间的关系。 方法。试验性研究于2023年1月进行。研究作者从年龄在18至69岁之间的受访者那里收到了200份问卷（104份来自波兰，96份来自英国）。呼吸困难水平通过MRC（医学研究理事会呼吸困难量表）问卷进行评估。体育活动水平使用国际体育活动问卷（IPAQ）进行测量。 结果。在大多数情况下，呼吸困难仅在进行大量体力活动时出现，且随着年龄和COVID-19感染次数的增加而增加。观察到在中等体育活动MET分数降低的情况下呼吸困难逐渐增加的趋势。受访者的居住国与呼吸困难水平之间没有明显关联。 结论。根据建议，应密切监测COVID-19后患者的呼吸困难水平，特别是年龄较大的患者和多次感染COVID-19的人。定期进行体育活动可能有助于减轻呼吸困难感。

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG0DFB8A

Abstract
Aim. The aim of the work is to map the functional fitness, level of mobility and quality of life of seniors at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods. The study group consisted of 130 seniors from the Prešov Region, with an average age of 74.1 (max. 94, min. 65) years and an average Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27.13 (max. 41.09, min 16.00). There were 54 men (41.5%), with an average age of 74.3 years and an average BMI of 26.78, women with an average age of 74.0 years and an average BMI of 27.37. In all seniors we assessed physical fitness by Senior Fitness Test, level of mobility by the Up & go test and quality of life and mental health by the WHOQOL-BREF test during the lockdown in COVID-19 pandemic.
Results. Seniors living in rural areas (t = -2,341; p = 0.020) and living alone (t = -2.05; p = 0.042) had slightly higher rate of mild obesity (according to BMI). Seniors living alone had a lower quality of life compared with seniors living partner or family member (t = 3.728; p < 0.001). Finally, seniors living in rurar areas had worse physical (t = 3.113; p = 0.002) and mental health status (t = 2.601; p = 0.010). Women had slightly worse mental health status than men (t = 2.308; p = 0.022).
Conclusions. Restrictions on movement due to the COVID-19 pandemic put seniors who live alone, at risk, especially women. Men show higher resistance to these measures, mostly in physical and psychological health area.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG142HN3

Abstract
Aim of the research work. The main goal of the research work was to show an author’s plan of physiotherapeutic intervention for people suffering of COVID-19 in the post-acute stage. The therapeutic procedure highlighted pulmonary rehabilitation, aerobic and resistance training and patient’s education.
Case study. The research work was performed on a 62-year old woman, who was diagnosed with infection by SARS-CoV-2 virus. The patient was admitted to ICU with acute ARDS in a heavily severe condition. The medical history showed obesity, chronic ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension and cardiac arrest (2011). The patient was admitted to the rehabilitation unit in the post-acute stage of infection, and was using passive oxygen therapy with oxygen flow set to 4 l/min. During the qualification for therapy the patient was tested using a questionnaire which consisted of clinical tests such as 6MWT, MRC, 30CST and FIM scale. Furthermore, the lungs were examined using spirometry. Identical measurements were being used every 2 weeks of the therapy process. After 8 weeks of physiotherapeutic procedure there was a significant increase of score in 6-MWT which upgraded by 750%. Systematic improvement was also visible in dyspnoea and fatigue, which completely surceased after finishing the therapeutic process. Functional state of the patient improved considerably which is shown by 30CST score, improved by 380%. Spirometry score analysis shows FVC, FEV1 and Tiffeneau-Pinelli index improve respectively by 40%, 53% and 9.6%.
Summary. The therapeutic program based on pulmonary rehabilitation, aerobic and resistance training and patient’s education looks very promising. Implemented procedure contributed to the patient’s relatively quick recovery to a pre-COVID-19 state. Patient’s physical and pulmonary efficiency were noticed, exertional tolerance increased, dyspnoea and fatigue gave way which all combined led to improved functional efficiency. Pulmonary system function was also enhanced which was demonstrated by spirometry.

Abstract
Purpose of the study. To investigate the level of academic stress among Taif University medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine its sources. Also, to declare the difference between male and female students in this concern.
Methods. The current study was conducted at Taif University, from January 15 to March 1, 2021. The target population was undergraduate medical students. The Perception of Academic Stress Scale (PAS) was the used tool to evaluate academic stress and its sources. Four-hundred thirty-three students participated in the study, 177 (39.9%) males and 256 (60.1%) females.
Results. The total score of PAS indicated mild to moderate stress. Perceptions of workload were the highest significant source of stress (moderate to severe). Pressure to perform and time restraints were the second sources of stress with a non-significant difference between them, while they resulted in significantly higher stress than the academic self-perception which demonstrated the lowest level of stress. There were non-significant differences between males and females in all four domains and the total score.
Conclusion. Taif University medical students have mild to moderate academic stress. Perception of workload represents the main source of stress. There was no significant difference between the male and female sections.

Labour law for physiotherapists in Poland

Damian Durlak


Damian Durlak – Prawo pracy dla fizjoterapeutów w Polsce. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(3); 30-36

Abstract
Every employee is responsible for their basic knowledge of labour law. Getting acquainted with relevant laws and regulations may save an unaware employee from being sued by the employer or provide grounds for pursuing their claims when the employer violates the employee’s interest. This is particularly important in the case of medical professionals. Physiotherapists, as employees of one of the medical professions, are covered by different regulations regarding, for example, working hours or remuneration for work outside working hours. The prevailing COVID-19 pandemic additionally contributed to the introduction of new regulations that would change the way medical employees perform work. The objective of this study is to present the most important information about labour law from the point of view of a physiotherapist.

Physiotherapist’s role in physical activity of people working from home

Damian Durlak

Damian Durlak – Rola fizjoterapeuty w aktywności fizycznej u osób pracujących zdalnie. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(5); 226-232

Abstract
Introduction. COVID-19 pandemic introduced new restrictions and either forced or encouraged citizens to stay mostly in isolation, preferably at home. Many companies sent their employees to work from home. With fitness centers, gyms and other sport facilities closed by government, there were scarce chances and motivators to work out.
Objectives. This paper was dedicated to studying the possible outcomes of COVID-19 related isolation and decrease in citizen’s everyday activity. Proposed usage of telephysiotherapy is presented.
Methods. In this paper a literature review and a discussion is performed regarding the current work-from-home situation in Poland, drawbacks of prolonged isolation and areas where physiotherapists might help citizens.
Results. Reduction of physical activity has significant impact on individuals’ bodies and should not be ignored. Patients with specific diseases might use telephysiotherapy services and continue their treatment. However, there is a need to provide home office employees with a good source of motivation and properly prepared sets of exercises to remain healthy and fit. Physiotherapists have an occasion to provide such services and use their professional knowledge in this area.
Conclusions. Physiotherapistscan provide services like telephysiotherapy with sets of exercises provided for specific groups of users. This allows for a win-win situation: physiotherapists earn money on a slightly different type of tasks and patients have a professional source of profitable exercises.
