[Sport injuries in different types of sports].

We analyzed the accidents in many different forms of sport during the period from 1964 to 1980. In soccer, 12% of all injuries were located on the head of the player, 15% on the chest or back, 18% on the arms, and 53% on the legs. In cycling, 20% of all accidents affected the head of the cyclist. 47% of the injured handball players damaged their arms. It is interesting to note that from all the so-called swimming accidents only 45% happened in the water and 55% outside the swimming-pool. The frequency of ski accidents declined, especially in children.

[Stress in working women. A survey study (author's transl)].

Stress problems have been far more rarely investigated in women than in men. Stress problems were investigated in a 20% random sample of 1033 working women aged from 20 to 65 years from 39 factories in north Switzerland, selected according to the random sample procedure. Of the 206 women, 36% admitted suffering very severe, severe or moderately severe stress at work. At home or in the family 16% were affected. Two thirds of these working women did not feel overburdened at work and three quarters with their families. Anxiety about employment was expressed by 12%, financial worries by 5%, and concern for health by 5% also. Around one third of these women had also undergone previous severe stress situations. In comparison with studies on stress in working men, it looks as though these women report stress less frequently, accept it less, repress or compensate it more.

[Women who have stopped smoking (author's transl)].

Among 1036 employed women from 44 randomly selected factories in German-speaking Switzerland, there were exactly 100 smokers, i.e. barely 10%. Of 1260 similarly representative men from these same factories there were 14% exsmokers. All these persons had previously smoked more than 9 cigarettes daily. Most of the women who had stopped smoking had done so for fear of damaging their health and 9% had stopped during pregnancy. The factors slow reduction in smoking, doctor, spouse, sport, weight gain after stopping smoking and willpower were evaluated. This study permits conclusions on the pedagogic use of tobacco withdrawal cures and courses.

[The sports medical profile of Alpinists (author's transl)].

Questionnaires sent to 293 male and female members of the Swiss Alpine Club provided conclusive sports medical results. 77% of all alpinists had never suffered an alpine accident as yet, but 23% had suffered a combined total of 85 injuries: legs were involved in 55%, arms in 20%, the trunk in 17% and the head in 8%. Sports medical investigations in a random sample of 50 subjects revealed a mean vital capacity of 5434 ml. Ergometric measurements at a preset 250 watt showed a mean maximum heart rate of 164 and mean blood pressure of 236/63 mmHg in the fifth minute of exercise.

[Skiing accidents in children (author's transl)].

In Arosa, a coherent skiing arena, all skiing accidents were systemically recorded by the two general practitioners for 10 years. The incidence of accidents to children compared with that of adolescents and adults was of particular interest. The incidence of accidents to children has more markedly decreased. The frequency of collisions is increasing. The most common injuries to children are fractures, followed by sprains and contusions. On the other hand sprains are the most common injury to adolescents and adults, followed by fractures and an almost equal number of contusions. The dangers of skiing and the severity of the injuries are discussed. Demands are made for prevention of skiing accidents.

[Suggestions made by adolescents to prevent suicide by adolescents (author's transl)].

738 examination papers were collected from adolescents aged 18 to 21 years on the subject of suggestions for preventing adolescents from committing suicide. The persons examined were female trainees for the nursing profession, consulting-room assistants, trainees in midwifery and male nurses undergoing training. The main reasons for suicide stated were a feeling of having been abandoned, or conflicts between the generations (19% each), whereas the main reasons for attempted suicide were stated to be problems connected with school and profession (24%), as well as unrequited or unhappy love (16%). It is actually true that first sexual disappointments or unhappy love accounted for 37% of 438 attempts at suicide in the city of Zürich within a period of 10 years. Continually recurring suggestions of prevention, both generally and specifically, were heart-to-heart talks with persons of the same age, inclusion of outsiders in the group, promotion of self-concept, and recognition as well as building up the personality of the adolescent concerned. The basic trend noticeable in 12 comprehensive suggestions regarding an overall prevention of adolescent suicide is that parents should not belittle their children's problems and worries, that groups of friends should be built up in early childhood, and that tactful sexual education is mandatory.

[Health education of adolescents against tobacco, alcohol and drug consumption. The Rapperswil Study (author's transl)].

In an 8-year longitudinal study, 368 pupils of the Jona-Rapperswil Vocational School aged between 15 and 17 years were subjected to a combined medical-educational half-yearly health education action against luxury articles and habit-forming substances in groups comprising the classes of each individual year. Before group session 34% were smokers, after the intensive instruction 23%. Before the session 62% drank, afterwards 34% took alcoholic drinks occasionally. No pupil had tried drugs during the six months instruction; the number of drug-takers remained constant at 3%. However, the desire to try a drug out of curiosity rose from 22% to 27%.
