Streszczenie
Wstęp. Celem tego badania było określenie wskaźnika występowania bólu mięśniowo-szkieletowego (MSP) związanego z pracą oraz korelacji między czynnikami ryzyka, poziomem aktywności fizycznej, stresem i jakością życia wśród nauczycieli szkolnych w Szardży, Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie.
Materiały i metody. Przeprowadzono badanie przekrojowe wykorzystujące wersję 23.0 programu SPSS do analizy statystycznej. Użyto testu Shapiro-Wilka, niezależnego testu t oraz jednoczynnikowej analizy wariancji ANOVA do porównania wyników jakości życia i poziomu stresu w zależności od zmiennych.
Wyniki. W sumie do badania rekrutowano 342 nauczycieli pracujących w szkołach prywatnych i publicznych. Wyniki wykazały wysoką częstość występowania MSP wśród nauczycieli. Najczęściej zgłaszane obszary to dolna część pleców, ramię i szyja, a następnie górna część pleców. Sugerowane przyczyny to długie godziny spędzane przed urządzeniami, przy średniej 6 do 9 godzin dziennie, duże obciążenie nauczania od 16 do 30 klas tygodniowo, starszy wiek większości uczestników (35 lat i więcej) oraz niska aktywność fizyczna. Co więcej, jakość życia jest niska wśród nauczycieli z znanymi przewlekłymi schorzeniami oraz pracujących w szkołach prywatnych. Stres był umiarkowany, gdy testowano wszystkie zmienne.
Wnioski. Bóle mięśniowo-szkieletowe związane z pracą są bardzo częste wśród nauczycieli szkolnych w ZEA. Wysokie występowanie jest związane ze starszym wiekiem, dłuższym czasem nauczania, większym obciążeniem dydaktycznym, słabą jakością życia i umiarkowanym stresem.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20BA1B

Streszczenie
Cel. Niniejsze prospektywne badanie przedstawia wstępne ustalenia dotyczące klinicznej skuteczności minimalnie inwazyjnej terapii laserowej CO2 na pochwę u pacjentek cierpiących na mieszane nietrzymanie moczu.
Materiały i metody. Trzydzieści kobiet cierpiących na łagodny do umiarkowanego stopnień mieszanej inkontynencji moczu przeszło zabieg laserowy CO2, używając specjalistycznego aplikatora i długości fali 10,600 nm, w warunkach ambulatoryjnych, bez znieczulenia i leków pooperacyjnych. Wszystkie pacjentki otrzymały łącznie dwie sesje, każda z nich oddzielona 4-tygodniowym okresem. Do oceny wyników klinicznych po 3 miesiącach od zabiegu u wszystkich pacjentek użyto kwestionariusza ICIQ-UI SF (wersja arabska) oraz testu kaszlowego. Pacjentkom przed rozpoczęciem leczenia oraz ponownie trzy miesiące po ukończeniu dwóch sesji terapii wydano kwestionariusz ICIQ-UI SF do wypełnienia.
Wyniki. Zaobserwowano istotny statystycznie spadek w ICIQ UI-SF od wartości wyjściowej (z 8 ± 0.58) do kontroli po 3 miesiącach (5.1 ± 0.79). Ponadto, u ośmiu pacjentek (26.7%) test kaszlowy był negatywny 3 miesiące po drugiej sesji laserowej. Podczas trwania badania nie zaobserwowano poważnych skutków ubocznych.
Wnioski. Przebudowa i produkcja kolagenu indukowane przez laser CO2 na pochwę mogą pomóc w regeneracji i naprawie funkcji dna miednicy. U pacjentek z mieszanej inkontynencji moczu ta metoda leczenia wykazała skuteczne oraz bezpieczne wyniki kliniczne, jak oceniono za pomocą kwestionariusza ICIQ-UI SF, pomimo ograniczonej liczby próbek i krótkiego okresu obserwacji.

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.

Aayushi Palor, D. Anandhi – Effects of suryanamaskar on peak expiratory flow rate and quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(1); 80-86

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG07B401

Abstract
Background. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. Surya Namaskar is an ancient yogic method to worship the sun. This specific postural and breathing protocols were developed in Indian Subcontinent in the 17th century by Saint Samarth Ramdass. Aim. To find out the effects of Suryanamaskar on peak expiratory flow rate and quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Methods. Experimental design, pre and post type. 14 COPD patients, aged 35–50 years, both men and women, grade I and II in GOLD classification was randomly allotted into two groups. The patients had to clear the flexibility tests – Sit and reach test and back scratch test. For the Experimental group (n = 7), Suryanamaskar, with conventional chest physiotherapy intervention, was given for 5 days per week for 6 weeks. For the control group (n = 7), conventional chest physiotherapy intervention was given for the same duration. Outcome measures: Peak expiratory flow rate (l/min), SF–36 questionnaire. Results: The study showed that the peak expiratory flow rate and SF–36 questionnaire showed non-significant result for both the groups as p > 0.05, though there was a clinically significant improvement. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is no statistically significant improvement in PEFR and QOL in COPD patients who performed Suryanamaskar along with chest physiotherapy.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A6hK

Abstract:

Introduction. Quality of life during the pandemic has taken on a completely different dimension. As a result of the restrictions, it was necessary to reorganize life in every sphere. This could lead to a number of negative consequences, including the deterioration of physical and mental health, as well as disturbances in the ability to establish proper social relationships.
Objective. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of the pandemic on the quality of life in the Polish and German population.
Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 200 people, of which 100 people are respondents living in Poland, while the remaining 100 live in Germany. The research tool used in this study was a questionnaire. The questionnaire was created in two language versions: Polish and German. The obtained results are presented in the form of pie charts and bar graphs. Pie charts present the results in percentages, obtained in individual questions included in the questionnaire.
Results and discussion. The results indicate a change in the frequency of undertaking physical activity. The number of respondents undertaking physical activity has significantly decreased, while the respondents who do not undertake physical activity during the pandemic constitute almost half of the respondents from Poland. The situation in Germany is completely different, as the number of people undertaking and not undertaking physical activity has not changed significantly. As a result of the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, almost half of the respondents from Poland began to feel a little fatigued while performing everyday activities, while the level of fatigue of the German respondents did not change significantly and oscillates around the same limits as before the pandemic. The quality of sleep in Polish respondents definitely decreased from good to moderate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, while in German respondents there is no significant decrease in sleep quality.
Conclusions. 1. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the mental health of the Polish population to a large extent, while the negative impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic on the German population is observed to a much lesser extent.
2. The pandemic situation contributed to a significant deterioration in the quality of life in the case of the Polish population, while in the case of the German population, no significant deterioration in the overall quality of life caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was documented.
3. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decrease in the level of physical fitness and the frequency of undertaking physical activity in the Polish population, while in the case of the German population, the level of physical fitness slightly deteriorated, but no significant decrease in the frequency of undertaking physical activity was observed during the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
4. Among the Polish population, the general well-being has clearly deteriorated, however, in the case of the German population, there is no significant decrease in well-being caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20AxlA

Abstract

Background. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory illness of the airways characterised by airway obstruction and bronchial hyper-responsiveness that is at least partly reversible. Serial peak expiratory flow measurements are frequently used in the clinical management of asthma to improve diagnose, estimate severity, and screen for provocative variables. When compared to mild persistent asthma, moderate to severe asthma has a lower QOL. Objective. The study’s aim is to determine the impact of Buteyko treatment on asthmatic patients’ peak expiratory flow rate (Expiratory flow rate) and quality of life. Study design. Pre and post type experimental design. Procedure. Twenty-two mild to moderate asthmatic patients, both men and women, aged 25–60 years, were randomly selected and given a peak expiratory flow metre to measure peak expiratory flow rate in the morning and evening at the same time every day. Basic chest physiotherapy was taught to all of the patients. PEFR decreased in 15 of 22 patients throughout the research period, and Buteyko treatment was administered twice daily for 6 weeks. Outcome measures. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate and Questionnaire on Shortness of Breath. Results. With Buteyko therapy, asthmatic patients’ PEFR and Shortness of Breath questionnaires improved statistically significantly (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The study found that Buteyko treatment had a substantial impact on peak expiratory flow rate lowering and asthmatic patients’ quality of life.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20AXT7

Abstract

Introduction. COPD is a chronic inflammatory disease that constitutes a significant public health problem. It is characterized by not fully reversible, progressive limitation of airflow through the airways. In addition to the harmful pulmonary effects, COPD manifests itself with complications in other body systems, including body composition disorders, which adversely affects patients’ quality of life and prognosis. The objective of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients with COPD and to assess the factors that will affect its deterioration.
Material and methods. The study included 37 patients of the University Hospital at the Jagiellonian University Medical College in Kraków at 8 Skawińska Street, who were diagnosed with COPD according to the GOLD guidelines. In the study group, a personal questionnaire was conducted, anthropometric data was collected, i.e. the Quetelet index was calculated, thigh circumference and skin folds were measured, and the subjective assessment of the quality of life was examined using the SGRQ-C questionnaire and the CAT Test.
Results. Based on the analysis of the collected materials, it was shown that the average assessment of the quality of life in the study population was at a low level of 61.8 points on the SGRQ-C scale. There was a large variation in the assessment of HRQoL depending on the stage of the disease. The best result, amounting to 23.0 points, was achieved by patients in stage 1, and the worst – 81.6 points. – patients in stage 4 according to GOLD guidelines. Among the main determinants of the quality of life in the study group, in addition to the degree of airway obstruction, there were: high intensity of clinical symptoms, such as cough, shortness of breath or expectoration of secretions, low body weight and the number of comorbidities. Conclusions. It has been shown that the loss of fat-free body mass and systemic complications are factors that significantly reduce the quality of life, and patients with fewer comorbidities and with increased BMI score better on the SGRQ-C scale. It has been proven that the progression of the disease contributes to the exclusion of patients from active social life and causes many mental problems. It was established that patients with COPD should be covered by multidisciplinary care and a special training program in order to prevent or delay the onset of systemic complications, which significantly worsen the patients’ quality of life

Abstract
Introduction. Having good healthy habits and making physical activity a lifestyle is everyone’s dream. Along with improving the quality of life and physical activity, it is expected to affect a person’s body age, hydration level, and fat percentage. Methods. This research is an analytic observational study conducted with a cross sectional approach. Observational analytical research is done by observing, without any action from the researcher. The research subjects were 35 students. Students with cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, who were on an exercise program, and had a history of fractures in the past 3 months or deformities of the arms, were excluded from this study. Students who were 18-21 years old, had a BMI below 30, and did not smoke or drink alcohol were involved in this study. Results. Significant correlation with p-value<0.01 in causality relationship between body age and hydration with Pearson value −0.751, body age and fat percentage 0.773, and Pearson value hydration and fat percentage −0.990. In addition, a significant correlation between quality of life and hydration has a Pearson value of −0.338. Quality of life and physical activity are not related and have a p-value of 0.39. Conclusion. The relationship between body age and hydration, and hydration with fat percentage has a very significant positive relationship. However, quality of life has no correlation with physical activity.
