Radzenie sobie ze stresem wśród młodzieży wielkopolskiej – przegląd problemów i strategii
The article analyzes stress and coping strategies among young people in the context of contemporary challenges (pandemic, digital changes, war in Ukraine, educational and professional pressure). The aim was to: (1) identify the most common stressors, (2) verify their relationship with gender, (3) compare dis-positional and situational coping strategies with stress according to gender and age. The study covered 181 students aged 11–18 (79 girls, 102 boys) from the Wielkopolska Province. The JSR questionnaire by Juczyński and Ogińska-Bulik was used to measure three strategies (active coping, focusing on emotions, seeking support) in terms of disposition and situation. The most frequently reported stressors were peer and school difficulties; no significant gender differences were found in their frequency (girls tended to report peer problems more often). In coping strategies, girls more often than boys used emotion focus (dispositional and situational) and more often declared dispositional support seeking; no gender differ-ences were found in active coping. With age, the use of situational focus on emotions and active coping increased (slightly to moderately); the effect was more pronounced in girls. The relationship between the number of problems and strategies was weak. The differences obtained in terms of gender and age suggest the need to profile preventive and support measures (greater emphasis on emotion regulation and social support in girls and on developing a repertoire of strategies in younger students).The article analyzes stress and coping strategies among young people in the context of contemporary challenges (pandemic, digital changes, war in Ukraine, educational and professional pressure).

In the grip of Catholic conservatism: State HIV/AIDS prevention in post-1989 Poland
In this article, I analyse the impact of the Catholic discourse on institutional HIV/AIDS prevention efforts in Poland. I argue that a combination of historical and political factors – including the Church’s role in the People’s Republic of Poland, the cult of John Paul II, and the signing of the Concordat–positioned the Catholic Church as a dominant political actor in post-transformation Poland, granting it considerable influence over the development of social and health policies. Concentrating on the first decade following the political and economic transformation of 1989, a period during which the Catholic Church solidified its hegemonic position, I critically evaluate the discourse surrounding HIV/AIDS prevention as presented in informational and educational materials funded by public or international resources designated for prevention initiatives. I highlight how recommendations and commentaries frequently diverge from international strategies and guidelines, reflecting a perspective more closely aligned with a conservative Catholic worldview than with an evidence-based and medically informed approach to public health.In this article, I analyse the impact of the Catholic discourse on institutional HIV/AIDS prevention efforts in Poland.

Obraz człowieka w „lustrze” edukacyjnego, filozoficznego i literackiego doświadczenia
The aim of the article is to offer a reflection on what image of man is contained in the perspective of edu-cational, philosophical and literary experience, to show what constitutes, on the one hand, the specificity of the indicated perspectives, and on the other hand, to characterize the relations among them and the emerging dependencies, as well as to highlight possible moments of encounter and dialogue.The aim of the article is to offer a reflection on what image of man is contained in the perspective of edu-cational, philosophical and literary experience, to show what constitutes, on the one hand, the specificity of the indicated perspectives, and on the other hand, to characterize the relations among them and the emerging dependencies, as well as to highlight possible moments of encounter and dialogue.
Planowanie przez rodziców przyszłości ich dzieci z głęboką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną a wsparcie społeczne
The arrival of a child with a disability into the world is a challenging experience for their parents. Addition-ally, the information about a diagnosis of profound intellectual disability intensifies this experience. This situ-ation significantly affects the family’s functioning. From the very beginning, both parents and siblings have many questions regarding the child’s present and future (Tylewska-Nowak, 2010). The Polish education system provides for the implementation of early developmental support for children and rehabilitative-edu-cational activities for participants with profound intellectual disabilities. These activities can be conducted at the place of residence or in a specialized facility. Support from the state and specialists becomes essential for the family. Families raising children with disabilities can access various forms of support that increasingly meet their needs year by year. Informational, institutional, or financial assistance positively influences the functioning of the family. Undoubtedly, contemplating what will happen after the “education” of a child with profound intellectual disabilities concludes accompanies the life experiences of their parents.The aim of the article is to present the results of research regarding the future of children with pro-found intellectual disabilities as expressed by their parents. The research inquiries presented indicators concerning the percentage of parents planning their future and their child’s future, as well as the similari-ties and differences related to these plans, taking into account the child’s age, the parent’s age, and the form of “education” being undertaken. The study also sought a connection between future planning and the subjective assessment of the social support received. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods strategy. The study group consisted of 60 families raising children with profound intellectual disabilities aged up to 25 years, residing in the Małopolskie Voivodeship.The arrival of a child with a disability into the world is a challenging experience for their parents.

Medycyna: powołanie czy kalkulacja? Motywy wyboru studiów medycznych w świetle badań jakościowych
The aim of the article is to identify factors motivating young people to choose medical studies and to distinguish in their autonomous motivation and controlled motivation, as outlined by Self- Determination Theory (SDT). The study was conducted using focused group interviews with 92 students from three different medical universities in Poland. The participants had to be at least in their second year of studies. Thematic analysis was used to develop the results. All elements distinguished in SDT appeared in the study, i.e., concerning autonomous motivation: intrinsic motivation, with identified themes of the willingnessto help, ambition, and pursuit of self-development. Identification and integration were also distinguished. Identification with the theme of the usefulness of studying, and integration with themes including: vocation, childhood, and personal choice. Regarding controlled motivation, a theme of prestige linked to introjection was identified, along with several themes related to external regulation, such as rewards, influence of significant others, familiarity with the profession. There were also statements about amotivation.The aim of the article is to identify factors motivating young people to choose medical studies and to distinguish in their autonomous motivation and controlled motivation, as outlined by Self- Determination Theory (SDT).

Wychowanie. Rewizja terminologii
In light of the critical perception of upbringing, dominant pedagogical literature fails to adequately address contemporary social challenges. This article analyses the weaknesses of traditional approaches to upbringing, particularly in terms of their autonomy from external political, social, and economic forces. Using Maton’s Legitimation Code Theory (LCT), I examine definitions of upbringing in terms of positional and relational autonomy. The findings suggest that most existing definitions of upbringing remain strongly influenced by external forces, which limits the autonomy of the discipline. This article proposes a critical revision of current concepts of upbringing and opens a discussion on the future of its autonomy in the context of contemporary social challenges.In light of the critical perception of upbringing, dominant pedagogical literature fails to adequately address contemporary social challenges.

Automatyczne tłumaczenie treści historycznych jako metoda przeciwdziałania wykluczeniu społecznemu na przykładzie wybranej aplikacji edukacyjnej
The subject of the article is the automatic translation of historical content as a method of counteracting broadly defined social exclusion, including the underappreciation of the histories of certain regions in the literature. This issue is illustrated using the example of translating a fifty-item sample of educational materials contained in a memorization-optimizing application based on the SuperMemo algorithm. For this purpose, the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) was used, specifically the gpt-4-0125-preview model. It was trained on data up to December 2023, and its context window is 128,000 tokens. The resulting translation turned out to be far from perfect, primarily due to errors in translating names and personal names (e.g., "Republic" as "Rzeczpospolita"), linguistic awkwardness (e.g., "It was then that the first unification of China occurred."), and inconsistency in the use of articles (a/the). Despite this, the obtained result met the basic requirements set by the sample application, created according to the MVP concept, aiming to, with relatively low expenditure, practically check whether there is demand for a given product or service adequate to the costs of a full-fledged solution. The conducted study also contributes to considerations on the broader application of automatic translation, especially in areas even potentially affected by social exclusion.The subject of the article is the automatic translation of historical content as a method of counteracting broadly defined social exclusion, including the underappreciation of the histories of certain regions in the literature.

Wspieranie postawy twórczej rodziców dzieci z niepełnosprawnością poprzez arteterapię
A child’s disability is a difficult experience for parents. It requires continuous reorganization of the world in a way adequate to the child’s needs and requirements, which is often a difficult situation for parents. The emerging frustration and crisis mean that many parents cannot cope emotionally by existing circumstances. That is why it is extremely important to support them and make it possible to adapt to the constantly changing situation in the most effective way. The answer to the need for direct impacts may be art therapy, focused on providing emotional support and developing the creative basis. To ensure effective support for parents of children with disabilities, it is necessary to recognize their preferences, needs and expectations. The purpose of the research presented in the article is to learn about the opinions on creativity and determine the differences in the intensification of the creative attitude of parents of children with disabilities, parents of preschool children and students not boring children. Research problems were formulated for such a specific purpose, referring to: defining the concept of ‘creativity’, impact of creativity on everyday functioning, experiences of the respondents in developing your own creative attitude and the level of severity of this attitude. The exploration uses a diagnostic survey method with survey technique. The culmination conducted allowed to determine the differences in the scope of these issues and question the proposal of support through the art therapy of parents of children with disabilities.A child’s disability is a difficult experience for parents.

Opieka pielęgniarska nad pacjentem w kryzysie bezdomności
The nursing care of patients experiencing homelessness presents a unique challenge, requiring a holistic, empathetic, and interdisciplinary approach. Homelessness is a complex social problem that significantly impacts both physical and mental health. Nurses, often the first point of contact for homeless individuals, play a critical role in providing comprehensive care that extends beyond traditional medical interventions. This literature review aims to analyze the specificity of nursing care for patients in a homelessness crisis, highlighting the application of theoretical nursing models to support holistic care. The study identifies major health challenges among homeless populations, including infectious and chronic diseases, mental health disorders, and injuries, and emphasizes the importance of understanding patients’ living conditions, such as instability, malnutrition, and poor hygiene. Key aspects of effective nursing care include building trust-based relationships, demonstrating empathy, and advocating for systemic changes through collaboration with social services and non-governmental organizations. The findings support practical recommendations for healthcare systems, including staff training, development of mobile and specialized care programs, integration of healthcare and social services, and active participation of nurses in shaping public health policies. This review underscores the vital role of nurses in improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals experiencing homelessness.The nursing care of patients experiencing homelessness presents a unique challenge, requiring a holistic, empathetic, and interdisciplinary approach.
