Selected Personality Traits and Employment as the Predictors of the Intensity of Psychosocial Problems Experienced by Chronically Ill Patients.

Background: This study sought to determine the effect of being employed or unemployed on the relationships between selected personal variables (acceptance of one's illness, self-efficacy, and self-actualization) and the intensity of psychosocial problems experienced by chronically ill persons (ChIP).

Participants And Procedures: The PCH-R Scale, the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, the Acceptance-of-Illness Scale, and the Self-Actualization Scale were used to collect information from 236 employed and unemployed ChIP.

Results: Acceptance of illness and self-efficacy predicted the intensity of general psychosocial problems and problems in the personal, family, social, and occupational spheres in both employed and unemployed ChIP.

The Function of Occupational Activity for Health as Perceived by Chronically Ill People.

Existing studies confirm the benefits of employment for chronically ill persons' health, but few studies so far have delved into how they themselves perceive employment in relation to their health. There is also a paucity of information about individual factors influencing the formation of their perceptions. This study sought to determine differences between chronically ill persons with and without jobs regarding their perceptions of the function of employment for the physical, mental and social dimensions of health, as well as how their occupational activity or inactivity moderates the associations between the perception of work as health beneficial or health adverse and selected individual characteristics, such as self-efficacy, acceptance of illness, actualisation of self, and psychosocial problems.

The Correlation between Organizational (School) Climate and Teacher Job Satisfaction-The Type of Educational Institution Moderating Role.

The quality of work and task implementation in educational institutions to a large extent depends on the personnel of those institutions. This is particularly true in the case of teaching pupils with special educational needs. The climate of education and learning and job satisfaction depend on teachers themselves.

Are they ready? Moderators of the correlation between work affect and job satisfaction felt by teachers of inclusive and special schools.

Background: The study aimed to determine to what extent emotions experienced at work are predictors of the level of teachers' job satisfaction. The moderating role of the type of school - inclusive and special - for this correlation was also analysed.

Participants And Procedure: The study involved 214 teachers at three levels of inclusive and special schools (primary, middle and high) attended by pupils with special educational needs.

Psychosocial problems experienced by patients depending on Crohn's disease activity: an exploratory study.

Background: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of Crohn's disease (CD) activity and factors such as having a job, a family, or a partner on the severity of psychosocial problems experienced by them. Hypothesis: H1: CD patients who have a partner assess their psychosocial problems as less severe compared with those who do not have a partner; H2: CD patients who have a job assess the severity of psychosocial problems as statistically significantly lower than those who are out of work; H3: High activity of Crohn's disease is statistically significantly associated with greater severity of psychosocial problems in CD patients.

Participants And Procedure: Adults with Crohn's disease, 79 women and 33 men, aged from 18 to 67 years.
