Streszczenie
Wprowadzenie. Stosowanie innowacyjnych metod terapeutycznych w dziedzinie stomatologii jest stale badane w celu znalezienia skutecznych i bezpiecznych strategii leczenia chorób przyzębia i błony śluzowej jamy ustnej. W ostatnich latach terapia ozonowa stała się przedmiotem wzmożonego zainteresowania ze względu na potencjalne korzyści w terapii dentystycznej. Ozon, trójtlen, zyskał uznanie jako alternatywna forma terapii, która może wpłynąć na zmiany patologiczne w jamie ustnej dzięki swoim właściwościom antybakteryjnym i przeciwgrzybiczym.
Cel badania. Celem tego przeglądu literatury jest ocena skuteczności terapii ozonowej w leczeniu stomatologicznym, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wpływu na choroby przyzębia i błony śluzowej jamy ustnej, a także regenerację tkanek i redukcję mikroorganizmów patogennych w jamie ustnej.
Materiały i metody. Przeprowadzono systematyczny przegląd międzynarodowej literatury opublikowanej między 2000 a 2023 rokiem. Analiza obejmowała bazy danych elektronicznych, takie jak PubMed, Google Scholar i EBSCO, z zamiarem zebrania i przeanalizowania wyników badań. Wybór prac naukowych dokonano, biorąc pod uwagę różnorodność tematów, rygor metodologiczny i przestrzeganie zasad etyki badawczej. W celu zidentyfikowania publikacji, które spełniały ustalone kryteria selekcji, wykorzystano wieloetapowy proces oceny, poddając wybrane prace krytycznej ocenie.
Wnioski. Stosowanie terapii ozonowej to obszerny obszar badań naukowych, podlegający ciągłej analizie, gdzie wyniki nie zawsze są jednomyślne. W ostatnich latach odnotowano znaczące zaangażowanie ozonu (O3) w dziedzinie periodontologii i innych dyscyplinach stomatologicznych. Efekty ozonu i jego potencjał terapeutyczny są przedmiotem szczegółowych badań naukowych mających na celu zrozumienie mechanizmów biologicznych i potwierdzenie skuteczności tej formy terapii.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20Bm5D

摘要
介绍。牙医和物理治疗师在咀嚼器官功能障碍领域的经验与身体整体的关系证实了咀嚼器官运动系统障碍问题不是一个局部问题的观点。因此，此类疾病的治疗不应仅限于使用保守的、正畸的或修复的方法重建静态和动态咬合，忽视与颈部节段和脊柱进一步节段相关的肌肉骨骼、筋膜、骨关节链的适当活动化。将功能障碍的诊断和治疗仅限于口腔咀嚼系统的元素可能会在患者中引发更大的疾病和痛苦。
与口腔咀嚼系统相关的广泛症状，导致不愉快的疼痛和情绪障碍，决定患者寻求多个专家的帮助，包括：耳鼻喉科医生、神经科医生或物理治疗师。患者有机会治愈这些健康问题，前提是整个康复团队合作：牙医、物理治疗师、心理学家和专门从事咀嚼系统功能障碍的言语治疗师。
研究目的。研究的目的是确定在治疗咀嚼系统功能障碍患者中建立物理治疗师和牙医之间合作的需求。
材料与方法。研究在西波美拉尼亚省的28名物理治疗师中进行。所使用的诊断工具是一份访谈问卷，包含许多关于与牙医合作治疗被推荐进行物理治疗的咀嚼系统障碍患者的条件和质量的问题。
结论。现有的物理治疗方法缩短了疾病的持续时间，例如通过按摩、手法治疗（触发点疗法、活动化、肌肉放松后等位）、物理治疗（超声波、生物刺激激光、冷疗、光疗、磁场）和练习（放松、稳定、本体感觉），患者在治疗师的监督下和之后独自在家进行。在治疗咀嚼系统障碍的患者中取得积极效果需要牙医和物理治疗师之间的持续合作。只有全面的、整体的诊断和治疗方法才是有效治疗的条件。

Wojciech Kiebzak, Jan Szczegielniak, Michał Butkiewicz, Bogusław Frańczuk, Małgorzata Starczyńska, Zbigniew Śliwiński

Wojciech Kiebzak, Jan Szczegielniak, Michał Butkiewicz, Bogusław Frańczuk, Małgorzata Starczyńska, Zbigniew Śliwiński – Standards of competence in the physiotherapist profession. Fizjoterapia Polska 2009; 9(1); 84-96

Abstract
Background. Work on standards of professional aualifications was started in Poland in the 1990’s. The standards contain a general description of professional tasks in the context of the particular profession together with an outline of the associated skills and qualifications. A total of 253 qualifica-tions standards had been developed by the end of 2007, including standards for physiotherapists, physiotherapy assistants and massage specialists. Material and methods. Five levels of qualifications have been defined in the National Professional Oualification Standard in accordance with EC provisions, taking under consideration the complexity of work, the difficulty of the skills, the degree of responsibility and the level of professional hierarchy which students are prepared to. The sets of skills, knowledge and psychophysical characteristics were assigned to four groups of qualifications: extra-professional, general-professional, basie professional and specialised professional skills, with indMdual groups differing in terms of scope and degree of generalny. On the basis of the above criteria, a questionnaire was designed and a survey was carried out. The questionnaire, which had over 30 pages, was first tested in a pilot study involving 8 persons and then used in a target study of 40 respondents. Both studies involved active physiotherapists as well as the management of the facility where they were employed. The results of the suney served to develop a preliminary version of the standard, which was later assessed by three evaluators during a session with the authors. Following incorporation of justified comments and emenda-tions, the standard was sent to reviewers, whose remarks were incorporated before the standard was submitted to a relevant committee for approval. Results. The standard of the physiotherapist profession was elaborated, including the legal basis of the profession, a synoptic description of the profession, work place, professional tasks, and a specification of general-professional, basie and specialized qualifications for the profession. Conclusions. 1. The standard is a single document specifying the range of knowledge and skills, professional tasks and the scope of professional responsibility. 2. The standard of the physiotherapist profession can be used by interested persons and institutions for a variety of purposes, e.g. vocational counselling, employment policies, personnel policy of companies and institutions as well as for social insurance related purpos-es to estimate occupational risk and determine insurance premiums accordingly and in jurisprudence and to determine social insurance.

K. Michalak, A. Szwaczko, A. Cieślak, K. Krekora, T. Miśkiewicz, E. Poziomska-Piątkowska – Occurrence of work-related pain syndromes and injuries due to overload of the musculoskeletal system in physiotherapists. FP 2017; 17(2); 72-81

Abstract

Introduction. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and injuries associated with the physiotherapy profession, as well as to analyze work activities related to professional practice predisposing to injury.
Material and methods. The study was conducted among 150 randomly selected physiotherapists. The questionnaire designed by the authors, included questions about sociodemographic data, work characteristics, the incidence of pain and injury which occurred while performing professional activities, location of the injury and the type of activity during which the injury occurred.
Results. 99% of physiotherapists reported to feel pain associated with performing job activities and 61% had suffered an injury of the musculoskeletal system that was clearly caused by their work. Injuries were most often located in the lumbosacral spine, wrist and hand as well as in the cervical spine.
Conclusions. 1. Musculoskeletal pain and injuries are an important issue among physiotherapists. 2. They are most often located in the lumbosacral spine, wrist and hand as well as in the cervical spine 3.Lifting and moving patients or equipment, performing massage and passive exercises are the most common activities related to pain development and the occurrence of injury. 4. High incidence of work-related pain and injuries results from the insufficient application of ergonomics by physiotherapists, as well as from the inadequate adaptation of the workplace. 5. To maintain and prolong the ability to work in a physiotherapy profession it is necessary to provide an appropriate ergonomics training among physiotherapists and consistent monitoring of compliance with the principles of ergonomics by superiors.

Zbigniew Śliwiński, Justyna Wójcik, Małgorzata Starczyńska, Zofia Śliwińska

Z. Śliwiński, J. Wójcik, M. Starczyńska, Z. Śliwińska – The level of anxiety and the attitudes of physiotherapists towards mentally disabled children. FP 2014; 14(2); 40-50

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this paper is to analyse the attitudes of physiotherapists towards mentally disabled children and to analyse the influence of their attitudes on their anxiety level.
Method: The study comprised 67 respondents; 37 students of physiotherapy and 30 physiotherapists who work in special care centres. Both research groups were asked to fill out an STAI Questionnaire which determines the level of anxiety as a state and anxiety as a trait, as well as author’s original questionnaire (Scale of Attitudes of Physiotherapists Towards Mentally Disabled Children).
Results: Both research groups present positive attitudes towards mentally disabled children. The research indicates that a more positive attitude towards mentally disabled children is presented by physiotherapists who work in special care centres, as compared to the other research group. A higher level of anxiety as a state is experienced by the students of physiotherapy.
Conclusions: Anxiety may influence the attitudes of physiotherapists toward mentally disabled children. It may be inferred that the higher the score of assessment of positive attitude towards mentally disabled children, the lower the level of anxiety in physiotherapists and students of physiotherapy.

Abstract

Introduction. A physiotherapist should know methods used in health assessment, basic definitions and psychosocial mechanism driving health and its prevention. The aim of this study was to assess opinions of physiotherapist about health with aligned basic determinants.
Methods. This cross-sectional study involved 117 subjects, 91 (77.7%) females and 28 (22.3%) males, aged 38 ± 10 years. Polish version of a standardized Ewles and Simnett questionnaire was applied. The poll consisted of 23 questions about 4 components of health: physical (7 questions), mental (6 questions), social (5 questions) and health as a lack of disease (5 questions). Subject chose all of possible 23 answers their agreed with. Percentage of given answers was calculated. On this basis, a dominant domain was established.
Results. Subjects agreed with 64.5% of all opinions of a questionnaire. Most frequently they chose those related to social (80%), then physical (71.4%) and finally to mental (66.7%) components of health. Health as a lack of disease was declared less frequently (60%). After categorization of individual answers, we found that physiotherapists defined health as the bio-psycho-social condition (38.9% of persons). Age, education level, marital status, place of work and number of years in profession were not associated with given opinions.
Conclusions. More than half of investigated physiotherapists define health inappropriately. Gender influences subjects’ opinions about health. Questionnaire formula of the study is its limitation, so the results need to be verified in further researches.
