Selected posters in staff for prevention at the 2024’ Congress of the Polish Public Health Society

Abstract

This healthcare and public health workers dedicated poster session, presented at the VII International Congress of the Polish Public Health Society, showcased six research projects focused on understanding the need and wellbeing of staff in the healthcare system and public health. Topics included the evaluation of quality management prac- tices within the State Emergency Medical Services (PRM) system in Poland, using evalua- tion studies as a diagnostic tool. The session also explored a health promotion programme implemented at Wrocław Medical University, highlighting the health risks and needs of the university community. Nutritional strategies for reducing and preventing obesity in shift workers were presented, emphasising the biopsychosocial impact of shift work.

Furthermore, the session addressed alcohol consumption patterns among students at Wroclaw Medical University, revealing insights into their drinking behaviour. The evolving role of personal trainers in Poland was examined, focusing on the need to integrate public health knowledge and first aid competencies into their training. Lastly, the session explored modern directions for improving personnel training for the public health system, emphasising the importance of stakeholder input and continuous qual- ity improvement. The presented research underscores the significance of targeted inter- ventions, evidence-based practices, and ongoing education in addressing current public health challenges.
