Domestic violence against a woman, inflicted by her husband/partner, disrupts the socially recognized model of partnership and family life and endangers the health and life of the victim. The aim of ...the study was to assess the level of satisfaction with the life of Polish women experiencing domestic violence and compare it to results of women not experiencing domestic violence.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 610 Polish women divided in two groups: victims of domestic violence (Group 1,
= 305) and women not experiencing domestic violence (Group 2,
= 305).
Most Polish women experiencing domestic violence are characterized by low life satisfaction. The mean value of life satisfaction in Group 1 was 13.78, SD = 4.88, significantly lower when compared to Group 2 (M = 21.04, SD = 5.61). Their satisfaction with life is related, among other things, to the form of violence inflicted upon them by their husband/partner. Abused women with low life satisfaction are most often victims of psychological violence. The most common cause is the perpetrator's addiction to alcohol and/or drugs. Assessment of their life satisfaction is unrelated to help-seeking and to the occurrence of violence in their family home in the past.

The study was to assess the level of stress and the health locus of control in parents of hospitalized newborns.
The study covered a group of 150 parents of 126 newborns who were hospitalized in the ...Neonatal Pathology Ward at the University Children’s Hospital in Lublin. The diagnostic survey method was applied with the use of an original questionnaire as well as some standardized tools: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC – version B).
In more than a half of the subjects (54.0%), a high level of stress was observed. Every fourth (26.1%) parent was characterized by an average level of stress and nearly every fifth (19.3%) by a low level of stress. The highest indicator was characterized by the domain of the internal health control locus. Every fifth parent represented an undifferentiated type - weak or magnifying the impact of others (22.0% and 20.0% respectively). The smallest group of parents (5.3%) belonged to the externally-oriented, strong type.
The parents of hospitalized newborns are characterized mainly by high and average levels of stress and low level of severity of health control location within each of its domains. The highest indicator of internal locus control and the influence of others are characterized by parents with low and average levels of stress.

Wprowadzenie: W każdej społeczności na świecie żyją kobiety, które doświadczyły w swoim życiu aktów przemocy. Media dość często przekazują informacje o nich, niekiedy jednak zbyt późno, czyli w ...sytuacji, gdy doszło już do utraty życia czy zdrowia. Cel pracy: Ukazanie zjawiska przemocy domowej wobec kobiet jako wciąż aktualnego, trudnego do zdiagnozowania i rozwiązania problemu. Skrócony opis stanu wiedzy: Przemoc domowa wobec kobiet nie może być niedostrzegana. W opracowaniu zdefiniowano pojęcia: przemoc, przemoc w rodzinie i przemoc wobec kobiet. Omówiono zakres i formy przemocy oraz skalę zjawiska w Polsce, stwierdzając, że jest trudne do oszacowania. Podkreślono, iż przemoc najczęściej odbywa się w zamkniętym kręgu rodziny, czyli bez świadków. Omówiono rolę pracowników medycznych, w tym pielęgniarek i położnych, w profilaktyce przemocy i identyfikowaniu kobiet krzywdzonych. Podsumowanie: Istnieje potrzeba opracowania skuteczniejszych programów prewencyjnych, aktualizacji wiedzy i większego zaangażowania pracowników medycznych (również pielęgniarek i położnych) wobec zmieniających się rozwiązań prawnych. Skuteczne przeciwdziałanie, także rozwiązywanie problemu przemocy domowej wobec kobiet, wymaga korzystania z różnych obszarów wiedzy i umiejętności. Konieczna jest zatem współpraca zespołów interdyscyplinarnych, tj. przedstawicieli służb, instytucji i organizacji wchodzących w ich skład.
