    Abstract Primary headaches are a common health issue in the paediatric population. These conditions have a negative impact on the quality of life of patients at the development age in every area of their lives. The aim of this study is to list the tools used to evaluate the quality of life of the paediatric population with primary headaches and to discuss their advantages and limitations. Examining the quality of life of children and adolescents suffering from primary headaches is of particular importance. This is a consequence of a high disease incidence rate and a considerable negative impact of the ailment on the everyday life of this population. It is very important to conduct such examinations with specific and validated tools. It is significant because of the particular features of the areas of patients’ lives at the developmental age. Each of the available questionnaires has specific characteristics, advantages and limitations. The data accumulated in this literature review can be of help in designing research on the quality of life of children and adolescents suffering from primary headaches.

    Abstract Abstract: Radiotherapy is one of the most commonly used anticancer treatments. Despite continuous technological development it may cause adverse symptoms, and as a result reduce the quality of life in patients undergoing radiation therapy. Objective of the work: Analysis of the quality of life of patients treated with radiation therapy and the effect determination of selected factors and their clinical complications on the quality of life of oncological patients. Material and methods: The study included 100 patients diagnosed with cancer, including 47 (47%) women and 53 (53%) men, with an average age of 62.1 (± 9.47) years. The study used a standardized questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30, in assessing the quality of life of cancer patients and a questionnaire of our own design containing sociodemographic and clinical data. The collected empirical data were analyzed statistically. The level of significance was p <0.05. Results: In the group of patients tested the average rate the overall quality of life was 50.5 (± 16.28) with a median of 50. The highest quality of life in the test reported in the field of cognitive functioning, and the lowest in the area of social functioning. In 72% of patients experienced complications of radiotherapy. During the analysis, it was found that the overall quality of life and functioning in all domains is lower comparing to the results of patients with no side effects of treatment. The analysis also found that in patients with head and neck cancer, which are irradiated at the same area, the level of cognitive functioning is significantly lower than the level of functioning in the same domain patients irradiated in the chest area (p <0.008) and in the area of reproductive organs (p <0.007). Conclusions: There is a diversity of quality of life of patients with and without complications of treatment with ionizing radiation, which have a significant impact on the quality of life of cancer patients. Location area irradiated during radiotherapy has a significant impact on the quality of life of patients. Treatment with radiation therapy adversely affects the quality of life of patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is an increasingly common anomaly. As a result of the development of medicine, the number of previously diagnosed aortic aneurysms increases, which corresponds to increased survival of patients with this disease. In connection with the above, the number of patients requiring treatment of this disease increases, and thus the implementation of rehabilitation perioperative procedures. Aim of the study: Analysis of the opinion of medical personnel on the role of perioperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery and the indication of priorities in the procedure. Materials and methods: The study was conducted using the diagnostic survey method using the original questionnaire. The study involved 102 people, including 76 male nurses (74,50%) and 26 doctors (24,49%) with an average age of 37.3 (± 9.4) years. The questionnaire contained questions in which the staff expressed their opinion on the role of perioperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm. The obtained data was subjected to statistical analysis, in which p
