No full textUvod: Oralno zdravlje ključno je za cjelokupno zdravlje i kvalitetu života. Oralne bolesti predstavljaju značajan javnozdravstveni problem, a karijes zahvaća 90% djece i većinu odraslih. Ispitivanje stavova i znanja djece o oralnoj higijeni te usmjerena edukacija važni su čimbenici u prevenciji ovih bolesti.
Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati stavove i znanja o oralnoj higijeni kod osnovnoškolskih učenika viših razreda (5. razred – 8. razred) na području grada Sinja.
Metode: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje u kojem su sudjelovali učenici od petog do osmog razreda osnovnih škola na području grada Sinja. Podaci su prikupljeni putem tiskanog upitnika koji je učenicima bio podijeljen na nastavi. Prvi dio upitnika sadržavao je pitanja sociodemografskog tipa, dok je drugi dio sadržavao pitanja povezana sa stavovima i znanju o oralnoj higijeni.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 226 ispitanika, od toga 121 (53,54%) djevojčica i 105 (46,46%) dječaka. Većina ispitanika smatra da je oralna higijena važna za cjelokupno zdravstveno stanje (91,6%), da su lijepi i uredni zubi važni za bolji izgled (96%) te da je zdravlje njihovih usta i zubi dobro (97,8%). Rezultati pokazuju kako ispitanici imaju dobro znanje te ne postoji statistički značajna razlika (p < 0,05) u razini znanja o oralnoj higijeni između dječaka i djevojčica, u razini znanja između učenika iz ruralnog i urbanog područja kao i u razini znanja između učenika petih i šestih razreda te učenika sedmih i osmih razreda.
Zaključak: Većina učenika smatra da ima adekvatnu oralnu higijenu te su zadovoljni zdravljem vlastitih zubi i usta. Dječaci i djevojčice, učenici iz ruralne i urbane sredine te učenici svih razreda imaju zadovoljavajuće znanje o oralnoj higijeni te visoku razinu svijesti o važnosti provođenja oralne higijene bez obzira na razlike u spolu, mjestu stanovanja ili razredu.Title: Attitudes and Knowledge about Oral Hygiene among Upper Grade (5th – 8th) Elementary School Student in the Area of the Town of Sinj: a Cross-sectional Study Introduction: Oral health is essential for overall health and quality of life. Oral diseases represent a significant public health problem and caries affects 90% of children and most adults. Examining children's attitudes and knowledge aobut oral hygiene and targeted education are important factors in the prevention of these diseases.
Objective: The objective of this research was to examine the attitudes and knowledge of oral hygiene among primary school students of higher grades (5th grade - 8th grade) in the area of the town of Sinj.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in which students from the fifth to the eighth grade of primary schools in the area of the town of Sinj participated. Printed questionnaire was used for collecting data and it was distributed to students during their classes. The first part of the questionnaire contained sociodemographic type questions, while the second part contained questions related to attitudes and knowledge about oral hygiene.
Results: 226 respondents participated in the research, of which 121 (53.54%) were girls and 105 (46.46%) were boys. The majority of respondents believe that oral hygiene is important for the overall state of health (91.6%), that clean and neat teeth are important for a better appearance (96%) and that the health of their mouths and teeth is good (97.8%). The results show that respondents have good knowledge and that there is no statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in the level of knowledge about oral hygiene between boys and girls, in the level of knowledge between students from rural and urban areas, and in the level of knowledge of students in the fifth and sixth grades comparing to students in the seventh and eighth grades.
Conclusion: Most students believe that they have adequate oral hygiene and are satisfied with the health of their teeth and mouth. Boys and girls, students from rural and urban environments and students of all grades have satisfactory knowledge of oral hygiene and a high level of awareness of the importance of oral hygiene, regardless of differences in gender, place of residence or class
The Association Between Shift Work and Quality of Life of Nurses Employed at a Hospital Psychiatry Department: a Cross-sectional Study
No full textUvod: Smjenski rad u području zdravstva predstavlja oblik organizaciju rada prema kojemu pojedinačno radno vrijeme svakog radnika osigurava kontinuirani rad zdravstvene ustanove. Ovaj način rada povezan je sa razvojem različitih zdravstvenih stanja koja mogu narušiti kvalitetu života i posljedično dovesti do smanjenja kvalitete pružene skrbi.
Cilj: Ispitati utjecaj smjenskog rada na kvalitetu života medicinskih sestara i tehničara zaposlenih u Klinici za psihijatriju Vrapče.
Metode: provedeno je presječno istraživanje koje je obuhvatilo 86 ispitanika. Istraživanje je anonimno i dobrovoljno. Ispitanici su prije sudjelovanja informirani o istraživanju te su potpisali dobrovoljni pristanak za sudjelovanje. Istraživanje je provedeno 2024. godine. Korišten je sociodemografski upitnik i SF-36 Health Questionnaire. Istraživanje je odobrilo Etičko povjerenstvo Klinike za psihijatriju Vrapče.
Rezultati: Pokazalo se da smjenski rad nema značajan utjecaj na kvalitetu života medicinskih sestara i tehničara na odjelu psihijatrije te da ne postoje značajne razlike u razini anksioznosti i učestalosti tjelesne i psihičke iscrpljenosti u odnosu na to da li ispitanici rade u smjeni ili ne. Hipoteze istraživanja nisu potvrđene dobivenim rezultatima.
Zaključak: Neovisno o tome što nije utvrđena povezanost smjenskog rada i kvalitete života, istraživanje je pokazalo da najnižu kvalitetu života pokazuju ispitanici sa srednjom stručnom spremom, koji svi rade u noćnim smjenama. Preporučeno je provesti dodatna istraživanja kako bi se preciznije utvrdila povezanost smjenskog rada i čimbenika koji imaju utjecaj na smanjenje kvalitete života.Introduction: Shift work in the field of healthcare represents a form of work organization according to which the individual working hours of each worker ensure the continuous operation of the healthcare institution. This way of working is associated with the development of various health conditions that can impair the quality of life and consequently lead to a reduction in the quality of care provided.
Objective: To examine the impact of shift work on the quality of life of nurses and technicians employed at the Vrapče Psychiatry Clinic.
Methods: a cross-sectional survey was conducted that included 86 respondents. The research is anonymous and voluntary. Before participating, the subjects were informed about the research and signed a voluntary consent to participate. The research was conducted in 2024. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the SF-36 Health Questionnaire were used. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Vrapče Psychiatry Clinic.
Results: It was shown that shift work does not have a significant impact on the quality of life of nurses and technicians in the psychiatry department, and that there are no significant differences in the level of anxiety and the frequency of physical and mental exhaustion in relation to whether the respondents work in shifts or not. The research hypotheses were not confirmed by the obtained results.
Conclusion: Regardless of the fact that no connection between shift work and quality of life has been established, the research has shown that the lowest quality of life is shown by respondents with a high school diploma, who all work night shifts. It is recommended to carry out additional research in order to more precisely determine the connection between shift work and factors that have an impact on reducing the quality of life
Ethical issues on Artificial Intelligence in Public Relations
No full textRad pod naslovom „Etička pitanja o umjetnoj inteligenciji u odnosima s javnošću“ bavi se utjecajem umjetne inteligencije na područje odnosa s javnošću, posebno u kontekstu etičkih izazova. Kroz deskriptivno-analitičku metodu prikazuje relevantnu literaturu vodećih autora na području etike umjetne inteligencije i odnosa s javnošću. Rast tehnologije umjetne inteligencije već transformira naše društvo, a njezina primjena u odnosima s javnošću nije izuzetak. Alati temeljeni na umjetnoj inteligenciji omogućuju praktičarima odnosa s javnošću efikasnije upravljanje sadržajem na društvenim mrežama, analizu javnog mnijenja, te automatizaciju administrativnih zadataka, što dovodi do povećanja produktivnosti i uštede vremena. Međutim, takav napredak pred praktičare donosi nove i značajne etičke izazove. Etička pitanja o primjeni umjetne inteligencije u odnosima s javnošću tiču se istinitosti, transparentnosti, integriteta, tehnološke kompetentnosti, odanosti te društvene odgovornosti. Povjerenje igra ključnu ulogu u etičnoj primjeni umjetne inteligencije. Primjerice, deepfake tehnologija narušava povjerenje javnosti u medije, što dodatno komplicira etičko djelovanje praktičara odnosa s javnošću. Kako bi se osigurala etičnost, potrebno je uspostaviti jasne smjernice i okvire za primjenu umjetne inteligencije u odnosima s javnošću, uključujući specifičnu edukaciju o etici umjetne inteligencije. Zaključak rada ističe da, iako umjetna inteligencija već donosi značajne promjene u ekonomiji i različitim industrijama, njezina etička primjena u odnosima s javnošću još uvijek zahtijeva daljnje rasprave i istraživanja. Na praktičarima je da prepoznaju i iskoriste potencijal umjetne inteligencije za inovacije i kreativnost, ali da je svjesno i odgovorno koriste, uz etičke smjernice koje su ponudile profesionalne organizacije odnosa s javnošću.The paper entitled "Ethical Issues of Artificial Intelligence in Public Relations" deals with the impact of artificial intelligence on the field of public relations, especially in the context of ethical challenges. Through the descriptive-analytical method, it presents relevant literature by leading authors in the field of artificial intelligence ethics and public relations. The growth of AI technology is already transforming our society, and its application in public relations is no exception. AI-based tools enable public relations practitioners to more efficiently manage social media content, analyze public opinion, and automate administrative tasks, leading to increased productivity and time savings. However, such progress brings new and significant ethical challenges for practitioners. Ethical questions about the application of artificial intelligence in public relations concern truthfulness, transparency, integrity, technological competence, loyalty and social responsibility. Trust plays a key role in the ethical application of AI. For example, deepfake technologies undermine public trust in the media, which further complicates the ethical activities of public relations practitioners. To ensure ethics, it is necessary to establish clear guidelines and frameworks for the application of AI in public relations, including specific education on AI ethics. The conclusion of the paper points out that although artificial intelligence is already bringing significant changes in the economy and various industries, its ethical application in public relations still requires further research discussions. It is up to practitioners to recognize and use the potential of artificial intelligence for innovation and creativity, but to use it consciously and responsibly, with ethical guidelines offered by professional public relations organizations
Radio usage habits among students of universities in Zagreb
No full textRadio kao medij predstavlja jedan od najvažnijih komunikacijskih alata dvadesetog stoljeća. No, u svijetu televizije i interneta, radio je s vremenom krenuo gubiti važnost. Dostupna literatura podijeljena je između simpatizera radija koji navode kako radio ne gubi popularnost, već dobiva na komercijalnoj važnosti, dok drugi ističu pad slušanosti radiopostaja zbog interneta kao glavnog konkurenta radiju. Nadalje, mnogi stručnjaci ističu važnost radija kao nepristranog, čistog informativnog medija, dok drugi priznaju izričit zabavni sadržaj radija te pad vrijednosti radija izazvan širinom i dostupnošću interneta. U radu je provedeno istraživanje sa studentima zagrebačkih sveučilišta čija mišljenja su ispitana anketnim upitnikom vezanim uz navike i razloge korištenja radija. Primarni ciljevi istraživanja vezani su uz frekventnost slušanja radija, nasljeđivanje navike slušanja radija iz kućanstva u kojem su odrasli, preferiranje radija prije ostalih medija te korist radija, prvenstveno u smislu pozadinske buke. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako je kod radija u padu popularnost, odnosno rijetki studenti preferiraju radio prije drugih medija, a informativne značajke radija nisu istaknute kao primaran razlog slušanja, već isključivo zabava. Nadalje, većina studenata zagrebačkih sveučilišta i dalje sluša radio svakodnevno, a rezultati pokazuju kako su te navike do značajne mjere naslijeđene iz kućanstva u kojem su odrasli.Radio as a medium is regarded as one of the most important communication tools of the twentieth century, but, in the world of television and the Internet, radio has, with time, lost its importance. Available literature is split between sympathizers of the radio who say that radio is not losing its popularity, on the contrary, that it is gaining commercial importance, while others point out the reduction in the listening of radio stations as the Internet conquers radio. Furthermore, many experts point out the importance of the radio as an unbiased, informative medium, while others accept the entertaining nature of the radio and agreeing on its loss of popularity due to the availability of the Internet. Because of that, primary research was undertaken that had students of Zagreb's universities as its sample whose opinions were gathered through a survey questionnaire tied to their listening habits and reasons for using the radio. The primary goals of the research were to find the listening habits of students in terms of frequency of listening, inherited habits of listening to the radio from the household they grew up in, preferring the radio to other mediums and their use of the radio, primarily as background noise. The results of the primary research have shown that radio really is losing its popularity, as students rarely prefer the radio over other mediums, and informative elements of the radio are not at all respected, but, on the contrary, radio became a medium for entertainment primarily, which really speaks to the loss of radio popularity. Moreover, most students still listen to the radio daily, however, most of those habits seem to be inherited from the household
Experiences and Attitudes of Senior Medical School Students Regarding Menstrual Health: A Cross-Sectional Study
No full textUvod: Menstruacija je fiziološko prijelomno krvarenje iz maternice koje nastaje uslijed pravilne cikličke izmjene endogenih hormona te ujedno predstavlja početak menstrualnog ciklusa. Menstrualno zdravlje predstavlja stanje potpunog tjelesnog, duševnog i socijalnog blagostanja, a ne samo odsutnost bolesti u odnosu na menstrualni ciklus. Menstrualna bol je vodeća tegoba s kojom se susreću djevojke adolescentne dobi. Većina adolescentica kod kojih je prisutna menstrualna bol, boluje od primarne dismenoreje.
Cilj: Cilj ovog rada je ispitati iskustva i stavove učenica završnih razreda srednjih medicinskih škola o menstrualnom zdravlju. Cilj istraživanja je također testirati sljedeće postavljene hipoteze: većina ispitanica (više od 50%) je uzimala tablete protiv bolova tijekom trajanja menstruacije (H1), većina ispitanica (više od 50%) je najviše saznala o menstruaciji putem interneta (H2), većina ispitanica (više od 50%) ima češće promjene raspoloženja tijekom trajanja menstruacije (H3).
Metode: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje. Ispitanice su bile učenice završnih (petih) razreda iz tri srednje škole za medicinske sestre u Zagrebu. Podaci su prikupljeni pomoću papirnatog anketnog upitnika tijekom travnja 2024. godine. Od prikupljenih podataka provedena je deskriptivna analiza.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 176 učenica završnih razreda iz tri srednje škole za medicinske sestre u Zagrebu. Prvi dio analize podataka je prikazan parametrima deskriptivne statistike, dok je evaluacija hipoteza provedena pomoću Hi - kvadrat testa. Dokazano je kako je većina ispitanica uzimala tablete protiv bolove tijekom trajanja menstruacije kao i to da imaju češće promjene raspoloženja tijekom trajanja menstruacije. Također, većina ispitanica je najviše saznala o menstruaciji od ženskog dijela obitelji, a ne putem interneta.
Zaključak: Pomoću rezultata je vidljivo kako se hipoteze H1 i H3 potvrđuju, dok se hipoteza H2 odbacuje. Ovim istraživanjem može se pružiti uvid u iskustva i stavove učenica o menstrualnom zdravlju te rezultati mogu biti korisni za daljni razvoj programa i strategija za poboljšanje menstrualnog zdravlja u adolescentnoj dobi kao i za podizanje svijesti o menstruciji i menstrualnim ciklusima te njegovim odstupanjima.Title: Experiences and Attitudes of Senior Medical School Students Regarding Menstrual Health: a Cross – sectional Study.
Background: Menstruation is a physiolgical breakthrough bleeding from the uterus that occurs due to the correct cyclical exchange of endogenous hormones and also represents the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Menstrual health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well – being, not just the absence of disease in relation to the menstrual cycle. Menstrual pain is the leading complaint faced by adolescent girls. Most adolescent girls with menstrual pain are suffering from primary dysmenorrhea.
Aim: The aim of this work is to examine the experiences and attitudes of female students in the final years of secondary medical schools about menstrual health. The aim of the research is also to test the following stated hypotheses: most of the respondents (more than 50%) took painkillers during menstruation (H1), most of the respondents (more than 50%) learned about menstruation via the Internet (H2), most of the respondents (more than 50%) have frequent mood swings during menstruation (H3).
Methods: A cross – sectional study was conducted. The respondents were final (fifth) grade students from three secondary medical schools in Zagreb. The data was collected using a paper questionnaire during April 2024. A descriptive analysis was carried out from the collected data.
Results: 176 female final year students from three secondary medical schools in Zagreb participated in the research. The first part of the data analysis is presented with the parameters of descriptive statistics, while the evaluation of the hypotheses was carried out using the chi – square test. It has been proven that most of the test subjects took painkillers during menstruation and that they have more frequent mood swings during menstruation. Also, most of the respondents learned about menstruation from the female part of the family and not from the Internet.
Conclusion: The results show that hypotheses H1 and H3 are confirmed, while hypothesis H2 is rejected. This research can provide insight into the experiences and attitudes of schoolgirls about menstrual health in adolescents, as well as for raising awareness about menstruation and menstrual cycles and their deviations
Acute coronary syndrome before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Clinical Hospital Merkur: retrospective research
No full textAkutni koronarni sindrom jest kliničko stanje kojemu je u podlozi naglo nastala, kritična ishemija miokarda i podrazumijeva dva entiteta: nestabilnu anginu pektoris i infarkt miokarda, a najčešće je posljedica rupture aterosklerotskog plaka.
Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija 12. ožujka 2020. godine proglašava pandemiju bolesti COVID-19 koju izaziva virus SARS-CoV-2. Klinička slika može biti od asimtomastske do razvoja pneumonije s teškom akutnom respiratornom insuficijencijom, pojavom neuroloških simptoma i destabilizacija aterosklerotskog plaka uz razvoj akutnog koronarnog sindroma ili razvoj mioperikarditisa, pojavnost poremećaja srčanog ritma i arterijske hipertenzije s mogućim smrtnim ishodom.
Cilj ovog rada je ispitati je li se za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19 povećala incidencija akutnog koronarnog sindroma uz promjenu demografskih karakteristika bolesnika te u kojem vremenskom intervalu nakon infekcije izazvane virusom COVID-a se najčešće razvio akutni koronarni sindrom.
Retrospektivno istraživanje iz medicinske dokumentacije provedeno je kod svih bolesnika koji su liječeni od akutnog koronarnog sindroma 2018. godine (prije pandemije) usporedivo s podacima tijekom 2021. godine (tijekom pandemije). Uspoređena je incidencija akutnog koronarnog sindroma te struktura bolesnika uzimajući u obzir dob, spol i komorbiditete.
Kod bolesnika s akutnim koronarnim sindromom tijekom 2021. godine, uzet je u obzir vremenski odnos između nastupa akutnog koronarnog sindroma nakon preboljenja infekcije izazvane virusom COVID-19.Acute coronary syndrome is a clinical condition caused by sudden, critical ischemia of the myocardium and includes two entities: unstable angina pectoris and myocardial infarction and is most often the result of rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque.
On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic of the disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Clinical presentation can be asymptomatic but development of pneumonia with severe acute respiratory insufficiency is also a possibility, as well as the appearance of neurological symptoms and destabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque with the development of acute coronary syndrome or the development of myopericarditis, the occurrence of heart rhythm disorders and arterial hypertension with potential lethal outcome.
The aim of this is paper is to examine whether the incidence of acute coronary syndrome increased during the COVID-19 pandemic along with the change in patient demographic characteristics. The research will also provide an answer in which time interval after the infection caused by the COVID virus, acute coronary syndrome most often developed.
A retrospective study of medical records was conducted in all patients who were treated for acute coronary syndrome in 2018 (before the pandemic) comparable to the data in 2021 (during the pandemic). The incidence of acute coronary syndrome and the structure of patients were compared, taking into account age, gender and comorbidities.
In patients with acute coronary syndrome during the year 2021, the time relationship between the onset of acute coronary syndrome after recovery from the infection caused by the COVID-19 virus was taken into account
Correlation between social capital and financial attitudes of young people – the example of students in Zagreb
No full textPredmetna disertacija istražuje povezanost socijalnog kapitala i financijskih stavova na primjeru studenata u Zagrebu. Pritom se socijalni kapital promatra kroz društvene mreže te norme reciprociteta, pouzdanosti i povjerenja koje iz istih proizlaze, te se definira kroz sedam varijabli navedenih u nastavku: percipirana društvena podrška, učestalost društvenog kontakta s bližnjim osobama, učestalost sudjelovanja u društvenim aktivnostima, generalizirano povjerenje, povjerenje u institucije, percipirana pravednost, percipirana volja za pomaganjem (generalizirana recipročnost). Financijski se stavovi mjere kroz tri izjave koje se odnose na preferenciju kratkoročnog nad dugoročnim (odnosno kombinaciju između trenutne potrošnje i štednje). Na temelju do sad provedenih istraživanja, moguće je bilo pretpostaviti pozitivnu povezanost između dvaju koncepata, što se i potvrdilo provedenim istraživanjem. Naime, predmet istraživanja bilo je proučavanje odnosa socijalnog kapitala i financijskih stavova studenata sveučilišnih studija u Zagrebu, a istraživanje istog ujedno je bio i glavni cilj istraživanja. Nakon temeljitog proučavanja i predstavljanja literature vezane za konstrukte socijalni kapital i financijske stavove, provelo se istraživanje čiji su se rezultati predstavili u disertaciji. U radu se koristio kvantitativni istraživački pristup, a tehnika prikupljanja podataka bila je anketa provedena na fakultetima na ukupno 611 ispitanika. Rezultati pokazuju da studenti s višom razinom društvene podrške, učestalijim društvenim kontaktom i sudjelovanjem u društvenim aktivnostima imaju razboritije financijske stavove. Također, utvrđeno je da studenti s višom razinom generaliziranog povjerenja, povjerenjem u institucije, percipiranom pravednošću i generaliziranom recipročnošću imaju razboritije financijske stavove. Osim što se svaka varijabla socijalnog kapitala zasebno stavljala u odnos s financijskim stavovima, faktorska analiza potvrdila je postojanje jednog latentnog faktora - socijalnog kapitala - iza sedam manifestnih varijabli te se, uzevši u obzir navedeno, zaključuje da postoji statistički značajna i pozitivna povezanost između socijalnog kapitala i financijskih stavova među studentima sveučilišta u Zagrebu.The concept of social capital is increasingly used in interdisciplinary fields, but there is no consensus on its definition. Early interpretations by L. J. Hanifan and later by sociologists Pierre Bourdieu and James Coleman emphasize that social capital benefits both individuals and communities through cooperation and social relationships. While Bourdieu views it as a privilege of elite groups, Coleman considers it as a resource for all individuals. Halpern offers a different perspective, defining social capital as any social structure that promotes cooperation and trust. Robert Putnam, a political scientist, also plays a significant role in the development of the social capital concept. Putnam defines it as features of social organizations, such as norms and trust, that enhance social efficiency. However, he also associates social capital with social networks and the norms of reciprocity and reliability that emerge from them.
Another concept investigated in the paper are financial attitudes, a part of financial literacy. Financial attitudes involve an individual's views on money, consumption, and future planning. Three statements related to money attitudes and future planning are identified, which reflect an individual's time preference: living for today, prioritizing current consumption, and believing that money is meant to be spent
Knowledge and Awareness of Students of the Chatolic Univerity of Croatia in Zagreb about Breast Cancer: Cross-sectional Study
No full textUvod: Razina znanja i svijesti studenata o raku dojke važno je područje istraživanja u zdravstvu. Spoznavanje njihove informiranosti pruža vrijedne uvide u njihovo razumijevanje raznih čimbenika rizika, simptoma i preventivnih mjera raka dojke. Analizom njihova znanja mogu se razviti ciljane obrazovne intervencije koje bi unaprijedile svijest o bolesti i koje bi promaknule strategije ranog otkrivanja i brzog djelovanja.
Cilj: Procijeniti znanje i osviještenost studenata i studentica Hrvatskog katoličkog sveučilišta o raku dojke.
Metode: Vrsta provedenog istraživanja je presječno istraživanje. Odabrani ispitanici su bili studenti Hrvatskog katoličkog sveučilišta, a istraživanje se provelo anonimnim internetskim upitnikom, čija je poveznica za pristup podijeljena preko službene elektroničke adrese, u razdoblju od 1. do 31. ožujka 2023. godine. Ispitanici su dobrovoljno sudjelovali te su istraživanje mogli napustiti u bilo kojem trenutku. Upitnik se sastojao od sociodemografskih pitanja i pitanja o razini znanja i osviještenosti o raku dojke.
Rezultati: Uzorak se sastojao od 312 ispitanika: 122 studenta sestrinstva, 78 studenata psihologije, 16 studenata povijesti, 5 studenata medicine, 45 studenata komunikologije i 46 studenata sociologije. Ispitanici su ostvarili točnost značajno veću od 50 % u odgovorima na pitanja o raku dojke. Rezultati pokazuju da su studenti medicine i sestrinstva statistički značajno točnije odgovorili na postavljena pitanja u usporedbi sa studentima ostalih studijskih programa.
Zaključak: Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da studenti medicine i sestrinstva posjeduju višu razinu znanja i osviještenosti od studenata društvenih znanosti. Naglašena je potreba za daljnjom edukacijom o raku dojke među studentskom populacijom.Introduction: The level of knowledge and awareness of students about breast cancer is an important area of research in health education. Understanding their awareness can provide valuable insights into their understanding of risk factors, symptoms and preventive measures related to breast cancer. By analyzing their knowledge, targeted educational interventions can be developed to improve awareness of the disease, as well as to promote early detection strategies and rapid activity.
Aim: To assess the knowledge and awareness of male and female students at the Croatian Catholic University regarding breast cancer.
Methods: The type of study that was conducted is a cross-sectional study. The selected participants were students of the Croatian Catholic University and the research was conducted using an anonymous online questionnaire, whose access link was distributed via the official email address, in the course of 1st to 31st of March 2023. All of the participants were volunteers and had the option to withdraw from the study at any given time. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic questions and questions about the level of knowledge and awareness of breast cancer.
Results: The sample consisted of 312 participants, including 122 nursing students, 78 psychology students, 16 history students, 5 medical students, 45 communication studies students, and 46 sociology students. The participants had significantly higher accuracy than 50 % in their responses to breast cancer questions. The results indicate that medical and nursing students answered given questions with statistically notable higher accuracy compared to students from other study programs.
Conclusion: The study found that medical and nursing students have a higher level of knowledge and awareness compared to students in social sciences. There is am emphasized need for further education on breast cancer among the student population
The origin and development of the Croatian Catholic movement (1900.-1906.)
No full textRad je koncipiran kao pregled glavnih događaja koji su motivirali europske i hrvatske katoličke krugove da se aktivno uključe u obranu vjere i odlučno krenu u proces kreiranja modernog kršćanskog društva. Oslikavanjem i ukazivanjem na dva načina razmišljanja u razdoblju od 1900. do 1906. godine (koncepcija mladih i koncepcija starih) doprijet će se do problema koji su motivirali katolike početkom 20. stoljeća na opći društveni angažman, posebice u znanosti, kulturi i politici. Ovim radom istaknut će se njihov programski pristup novoj društvenoj zauzetosti katolika i uputiti na konkretne akcije u stvaranju kršćanskoga društva. Obrazložit će se njihovi pogleda na rješavanje socijalnih, društvenih, kulturnih i političkih problema. Također, bit će riječi i o pojedincima koji su se na poseban način utkali u djelovanje Hrvatskog katoličkog pokreta, njegovih tiskovina i udruženja.The paper is designed as an overview of the main events that motivated European and Croatian Catholic circles to actively engage in the defence of the faith and resolutely embark on the process of creating a modern Christian society. By portraying and pointing out two ways of thinking in the period from 1900 to 1906 (the conception of the young and the conception of the old), I will argue the problems that motivated Catholics at the beginning of the 20th century for general social engagement, especially in science, culture and politics. This work will highlight their programmatic approach to the new social engagement of Catholics and point to specific actions in the creation of a Christian society. Their views on solving social, cultural and political problems will be explained. Also, I will portray individuals who in a special way became involved in the activities of the Croatian Catholic Movement, its press and associations
