The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between a sense of coherence and intensity of health-related behaviour among 521 Polish university students. The study was conducted using validated instruments with two questionnaires: Antonovsky's SOC-29 and the Inventory of Health-Related Behaviour. The mean value of SOC amounted to 125.2. More than half of the studied group were characterized by the average level of SOC. No statistical differences were found between the faculty of study and SOC (p = 0.107). A low intensity of health-related behaviour characterized a large group of students. Students of particular faculties differ among themselves in a statistically significant way in the level of health-related behaviour (p = 0.015). SOC is related to healthy behaviour (p < 0.001). University students are often characterized by an average level of SOC and a low intensity of health-related behaviour. Medical students are characterized by higher level of health-related behaviour in comparison with humanistic and science students. SOC correlates positively with a tendency to health-related behaviour. The higher the level of coherence, the higher is the tendency towards pro-health behaviour.

AIM: To report on Polish hospital health care workers' and lay persons' knowledge about counterfeit medicine products. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional design was used. Two types of questionnaire survey about counterfeit medicine, separate for health care professionals and lay persons were completed by 201 physicians and nurses, and 450 adult Polish residents between October 2008 and January 2009. RESULTS: Physicians and nurses working in hospitals are more aware of counterfeit medicine than lay persons and more often notice the presence of drugs from unknown sources. Nearly 90% of physicians, 80% of nurses, and more than 40% of representatives of the lay persons had heard about the possibility of importing illegal medicine from Ukraine or China. The majority of medical workers does not know the procedure for reporting suspicious medicine and do not warn their patients against purchasing medicine from unknown sources. CONCLUSIONS: Increase education of nurses and physicians about counterfeit medicine particularly including the procedure of reporting suspicious medicine from unknown sources. In practice, reinforce a role of nurses and physicians in warning their patients against purchasing medicine from unknown sources and educate them about possible health hazards and life risks.
