The Moderating Role of Emotional Schemas in Relation to Self- Reflection, Insight and Subjective Well-Being
No full textStručnjaci ističu važnost uvida kao ključnog preduvjeta subjektivne dobrobiti, no
mehanizam njegovog razvoja još uvijek nije jasan. Iako se samorefleksivnost smatra
potencijalnim prediktorom uvida, istraživanja sugeriraju da njezin učinak može ovisiti o
drugim čimbenicima, pri čemu emocionalne sheme predstavljaju jedan od mogućih. S obzirom
na to, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost između samorefleksivnosti, uvida,
emocionalnih shema i subjektivne dobrobiti te ispitati ulogu negativnih emocionalnih shema
kao moderatora u odnosu između samorefleksivnosti i uvida, pri čemu uvid djeluje kao
posrednik između samorefleksivnosti i subjektivne dobrobiti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 203
sudionika u dobi od 18 do 29 godina čiji su odgovori prikupljeni online. U okviru ovog
istraživanja prikupljeni su podaci o samorefleksivnosti, uvidu, subjektivnoj dobrobiti i
emocionalnim shemama sudionika. Samorefleksivnost i uvid mjereni su Skalom
samorefleksivnosti i uvida (SRIS); subjektivna dobrobit je mjerena pomoću Dienerovih skala
subjektivne dobrobiti, uključujući Skalu zadovoljstva životom (SWLS), Skalu prosperiteta (FS)
i Skalu pozitivnih i negativnih iskustava (SPANE); a emocionalne sheme sudionika ispitane
su Leahyevom skalom emocionalnih shema II (LESS II).
Rezultati su pokazali kako samorefleksivnost nije bila značajno povezana ni sa jednim
promatranim konstruktom. Negativne emocionalne sheme i uvid bili su visoko negativno
povezani, pri čemu su izraženije negativne emocionalne sheme značajno predviđale niže
razine uvida. Uvid je bio značajno pozitivno povezan sa subjektivnom dobrobiti te su više
razine uvida značajno predviđale više razine subjektivne dobrobiti. Negativne emocionalne
sheme bile su negativno povezane sa subjektivnom dobrobiti. Izravan put između
samorefleksivnosti i subjektivne dobrobit nije bio značajan, kao ni medijacija putem uvida.
Također, interakcija samorefleksivnosti i negativnih emocionalnih shema nije bila značajna,
stoga nije potvrđena značajna moderacija negativnih emocionalnih shema. Konačno, ni model
moderirane medijacije, prema kojem bi samorefleksivnost predviđala subjektivnu dobrobit
putem uvida, ovisno o razinama negativnih emocionalnih shema, nije bio značajan.
Zaključno, rezultati ovog istraživanja ukazuju na važnost uvida i negativnih emocionalnih
shema u razumijevanju subjektivne dobrobiti, dok uloga samorefleksivnosti ostaje nejasna.
Model sugerira da samorefleksivnost ne djeluje na subjektivnu dobrobit putem uvida, ovisno
o negativnim emocionalnim shemama. Buduća istraživanja trebala bi ispitati varijablu
samorefleksivnost i dodatne čimbenike koji mogu oblikovati ove odnose.Experts emphasize the importance of insight as essential component for subjective
well-being, yet the mechanisms underlying its development remain unclear. While selfreflection
is considered a potential predictor of insight, research suggests that its effects may
depend on other factor, with emotional schemas being one possible moderator. Given this, the
aim of this study was to examine the relationships between self.reflection, insight, emotional
schemas and subjective well-being, as well as to investigate the role of negative emotional
schemas as a moderator in the relationship between self-reflection and insight, where insight
serves as a mediator between self-reflection and subjective well-being.
The study included 203 participants aged 18 to 29 years, whose responses were
collected online. Data were collected regarding participants’ levels of self-reflection, insight,
subjective well-being, and emotional schemas. Self-reflection and insight were measured
using Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS); subjective well-being was assessed through
Diener’s Subjective Well-Being Scales, including Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS),
Flourishing Scale (FS) and Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences (SPANE); while
emotional schemas were evaluated using Leahy’s Emotional Schema Scale II (LESS II).
The results indicated that self-reflection was not significantly associated with any of
the examined constructs. Negative emotional schemas and insight were strongly negatively
correlated, with higher levels of negative emotional schemas significantly predicting lower
levels of insight. Insight was significantly positively correlated with subjective well-being,
with higher levels of insight predicting greater subjective well-being. Negative emotional
schemas were negatively associated with subjective well-being. The direct path between selfreflection
and subject subjective well-being was not significant, nor was the mediation effect
via insight. Furthermore, the interaction between self-reflection and the negative emotional
schemas were not significant, thereby failing to confirm the moderating role of negative
emotional schemas. Finally, the model of moderated mediation, which proposed that selfreflection
would predict subjective well-being through insight, depending on the levels of
negative emotional schemas, was not supported.
In conclusion, the results of this study highlight the importance of insight and negative
emotional schemas in understanding subjective well-being, while the role of self-reflection
remains unclear. The model suggests that self-reflection does not influence subjective wellbeing
through insight, depending on negative emotional schemas. Future research should
explore the variable of self-reflection and additional factors that may shape these relationships
Children`s exposure to tobacco smoke and use of e-cigarettes in Split-Dalmatia county: A cross-sectional study
No full textUvod: Pušenje je jedna od najvećih prijetnji ljudskom zdravlju i predstavlja globalni javnozdravstveni i ekonomski izazov. Djeca, bez mogućnosti izbora, postaju prisilni pasivni pušači već od samog začeća. Ona imaju pravo na čisti zrak bez duhanskog dima, a osiguravanje takvog okruženja mora biti prioritet svake obitelji i zajednice. Postoji nekoliko vrsta duhanskih proizvoda, uključujući komercijalne cigarete, e-cigarete i grijane duhanske proizvode. Komercijalne cigarete oslobađaju brojne toksične tvari, dok e-cigarete i duhanski grijani proizvodi, iako manje štetni, također nose zdravstvene rizike. Prestanak pušenja ključan je za poboljšanje zdravlja, no proces odvikavanja može biti izazovan zbog simptoma poput razdražljivosti i anksioznosti. Smanjenje ili prestanak pušenja ključno je za poboljšanje javnog zdravlja.
Ciljevi: Cilj istraživanja je ispitati upućenost roditelja djece koja dolaze u dječju ambulantu KBC-a Split; Klinike za uho, grlo i nos, kirurgije glave i vrata o izloženosti djece duhanskom dimu, upotrebi e-cigareta i informiranost roditelja o prestanku pušenja.
Metode: Za potrebe ovog rada provest će se presječno istraživanje. Ispitanici su roditelji djece koja dolaze na Polikliniku Klinike za bolesti uha, nosa i grla s kirurgijom glave i vrata KBC-a Split, a sudjelovalo je 288 ispitanika iz Splitsko-dalmatinske županije. Podaci će se prikupljati putem anonimnog upitnika, koji će ispunjavati ispitanici. Upitnik je publiciran, preveden i dostupan te je dio EDIAQI (Evidence Driven Indoor Air Quality Improvement) projekta. Sudjelovanje je anonimno i dobrovoljno, a ispitanici će biti informirani o anonimnosti i svrsi istraživanja od strane medicinske sestre na dječjoj ambulanti.
Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da većina roditelja prepoznaje štetnost izlaganja duhanskom dimu, ali svijest o "pušenju iz treće ruke" varira. Dok 54,5% ispitanika vjeruje da je ono štetno, 42,8% nikada nije čulo za taj pojam, što ukazuje na potrebu za dodatnim obrazovanjem. Djeca izložena pasivnom pušenju suočavaju se s ozbiljnim zdravstvenim rizicima, a roditeljska svijest o štetnosti nije uvijek povezana s usvajanjem zdravih ponašanja. Unatoč kampanjama i savjetima zdravstvenih radnika, statistički značajna povezanost između informiranosti roditelja o prestanku pušenja i njihove sklonosti prestanku nije utvrđena.
Zaključak: Pušenje je jedan od najznačajnijih zdravstvenih problema današnjice jer izlaže pušače visokim koncentracijama toksina i predstavlja ozbiljan rizik za zdravlje nepušača, uključujući djecu. Prestanak pušenja donosi brojne zdravstvene prednosti, uključujući smanjenje rizika od raznih bolesti, a sveobuhvatan pristup koji kombinira obrazovanje, savjetovanje i zamjensku nikotinsku terapiju može biti vrlo učinkovit. Djeca imaju pravo na čisti zrak bez duhanskog dima, a osiguravanje takvog okruženja mora biti prioritet svake obitelji i zajednice.Introduction: Smoking is one of the greatest threats to human health and represents a global public health and economic challenge. Children, without the possibility of choice, become forced passive smokers from conception. They have the right to clean air without tobacco smoke, and ensuring such an environment must be a priority for every family and community. There are several types of tobacco products, including commercial cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and heated tobacco products. Commercial cigarettes release numerous toxic substances, while e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, although less harmful, also carry health risks. Quitting smoking is crucial for improving health, but the process can be challenging due to symptoms such as irritability and anxiety. Reducing or quitting smoking is essential for improving public health.
Objectives: The aim of the research is to examine the awareness of parents of children attending the pediatric clinic at KBC Split; Clinic for Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases, Head and Neck Surgery, regarding children's exposure to tobacco smoke, the use of e-cigarettes, and parental awareness about smoking cessation.
Methods: A cross-sectional study will be conducted for this research. The participants are parents of children attending the Clinic for Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases, Head and Neck Surgery at KBC Split, with 288 participants from the Split-Dalmatia County. Data will be collected through an anonymous questionnaire, completed by the participants. The questionnaire is published, translated, and available as part of the EDIAQI (Evidence Driven Indoor Air Quality Improvement) project. Participation is anonymous and voluntary, and participants will be informed about the anonymity and purpose of the research by a nurse at the pediatric clinic.
Results: The research results show that most parents recognize the harm of exposure to tobacco smoke, but awareness of "third-hand smoke" varies. While 54.5% of respondents believe it is harmful, 42.8% have never heard of the term, indicating the need for further education. Children exposed to passive smoking face serious health risks, and parental awareness of the harm is not always linked to adopting healthy behaviors. Despite campaigns and advice from health workers, no statistically significant correlation was found between parental awareness of smoking cessation and their inclination to quit smoking.
Conclusion: Smoking is one of the most significant health problems today because it exposes smokers to high concentrations of toxins and poses a serious risk to the health of non-smokers, including children. Quitting smoking brings numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of various diseases, and a comprehensive approach that combines education, counseling, and nicotine replacement therapy can be very effective. Children have the right to clean air without tobacco smoke, and ensuring such an environment must be a priority for every family and community
Correlation between self-assessment of quality of life and physical activity among students of the higher grades of Vinogradska nursing school: a cross sectional study
No full textUvod: Tjelesna aktivnost značajno poboljšava kvalitetu života adolescenata. Tehnološki napredak i modernizacija društva povećali su vrijeme koje adolescenti provode pred digitalnim ekranima. Redovita tjelesna aktivnost pozitivno utječe na fizičko zdravlje, mentalno blagostanje, socijalnu integraciju, samopoštovanje i prevenciju pretilosti. Učenici škole za medicinske sestre Vinogradska zbog svog zdravstvenog usmjerenja posjeduju brojne informacije o važnosti fizičke aktivnosti i trebali bi osobnim primjerom promovirati njen pozitivan utjecaj na kvalitetu života.
Cilj: Ispitati povezanost između razine fizičke aktivnosti i kvalitete života učenika trećih, četvrtih i petih razreda škole za medicinske sestre Vinogradska.
Metode: Istraživanja je provedeno u školi za medicinske sestre Vinogradska od 1. do 15. svibnja 2024. godine, u kojem su sudjelovali učenici trećih, četvrtih i petih razreda. Za potrebe istraživanja korišteni su standardizirani instrumenti: kraća verzija upitnika WHOQWOL-BREF i kraća verzija međunarodnog upitnika o tjelesnoj aktivnosti (IPAQ).
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 291 učenik oba spola. Pronađena je razlika u procjeni psihičkog zdravlja s obzirom na spol ispitanika (t=2.2; p=.029); učenici procjenjuju svoje psihičko zdravlje boljim od učenica. Pronađena je razlika u učestalosti obavljanja izrazito napornih tjelesnih aktivnosti s obzirom na spol ispitanika (U=5.374.500; p=.000); učenici učestalije obavljaju izrazito naporne tjelesne aktivnosti u odnosu na učenice. Ispitanici su u najmanjem stupnju zadovoljni sa svojim spavanjem (M=2.9; SD=1.1). Najniži rezultat postižu u dimenziji „psihičko zdravlje“ (M=3.6; SD=0.7), što znači da imaju najnižu kvalitetu psihičkog zdravlja. Postoji statistički povezanost procjene opće kvalitete života i učestalosti obavljanja izrazito naporne tjelesne aktivnosti (r=.175; p=.003) te umjerene tjelesne aktivnosti (r=.127; p=.030); s porastom učestalosti ovih aktivnosti raste opća kvaliteta života ispitanika. Postoji statistički značajna negativna povezanost općeg zadovoljstva svojim zdravljem i učestalosti sjedenja; s porastom vremena provedenim u sjedećem položaju, dolazi do pada zadovoljstva fizičkim zdravljem (r=-.157; p=.018). Također, postoji povezanost procjene okoline i učestalosti obavljanja izrazito naporne tjelesne aktivnosti (r=.126; p=.031); s porastom učestalosti ovih aktivnosti, dolazi do pozitivnije procjene vlastite okoline u primijenjenom upitniku.
Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje potvrđuje povezanost između razine fizičke aktivnosti i kvalitete života učenika.Background: Physical activity significantly improves the quality of life of adolescents. Technological progress and the modernization of society have increased the time that adolescents spend in front of digital screens. Regular physical activity has a positive effect on physical health, mental well-being, social integration, self-esteem and obesity prevention. Due to their health orientation, the students of the Vinogradska Nursing School have a lot of information about the importance of physical activity and should use their personal example to promote its positive impact on the quality of life.
Aim: To examine the relationship between the level of physical activity and the quality of life of students in the third, fourth and fifth grades of the Vinogradska Nursing School.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Vinogradska nursing school from May 1 to 15, 2024, in which students of the third, fourth and fifth grades participated. For the purposes of the research, standardized instruments were used: a shorter version of the WHOQWOL-BREF questionnaire, which measures quality of life, and a shorter version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
Results: 291 students participated in the research. There is a difference in the assessment of psychological health regarding the gender of the respondent (t=2.2; p=.029); male students rate their mental health better than female students. There is a difference in the frequency of performing extremely strenuous physical activities regarding the gender of the respondents (U=5.374.500; p=.000); male students perform extremely strenuous physical activities more often than female students. Respondents were the least satisfied with their sleep (M=2.9; SD=1.1). They achieve the lowest result in the dimension "mental health" (M=3.6; SD=0.7), which means that they have the lowest quality of mental health. There is a statistical correlation between the assessment of the general quality of life and the frequency of extremely strenuous physical activity (r=.175; p=.003) and moderate physical activity (r=.127; p=.030); with the increase in the frequency of these activities, the general quality of life of the respondents increases. There is a statistically significant negative association between general satisfaction with one's health and the frequency of sitting; with an increase in time spent in a sitting position, there is a decrease in satisfaction with physical health (r=-.157; p=.018). Also, there is a connection between environmental assessment and the frequency of extremely strenuous physical activity (r=.126; p=.031); with the increase in the frequency of these activities, there is a more positive assessment of one's own environment in the applied questionnaire.
Conclusion: This research confirms that there is a significant connection between the level of physical activity and the quality of life of students
The connection between reading stories from various cultures and the development of empathy in children with the goal of developing intercultural competence
No full textU današnjem globaliziranom društvu vještine interkulturne komunikacije nužne su za navigiranje u kulturološki raznolikom okruženju, zato što smo zbog sve češćih migracija, interneta, medija i društvenih mreža sve više okruženi pojedincima koji dolaze iz različitih pozadina sa različitim svjetonazorima. Djeca današnjice su od rane dobi pod utjecajem različitih kultura te im je vještina interkulturne kompetencije kroz odrastanje nužan alat za uspješnu komunikaciju. Mnogi autori ističu potrebu za interkulturnom naobrazbom, a bajke su kroz cijelu povijest bile medij prenošenja kulturnih vrijednosti po cijelome svijetu te ako bajke prenose kulturne vrijednosti, iz njih se može naučiti o drugim kulturama, njihovim junacima, vrijednostima i perspektivama. U ovome radu će se predstaviti teorijski okvir fenomena kulture i interkulturne kompetencije. Također će se prikazati njihova povezanost sa empatijom, kao sredstvom koje omogućuje povezivanje sa drugim kulturama i stranim svjetonazorima te tradicionalnim bajkama kao medijem koji predstavlja likove i svjetove u koje čitatelji/slušatelji urone i nauče o njihovim stavovima, vrijednostima i problemima. Nakon teorijskog okvira u radu će se analizirati tradicionalne bajke iz deset različitih kultura te će se prikazati kako su bajke sredstvo prenošenja etičkih vrijednosti iz kojih čitatelji mogu naučiti o svjetonazoru kulture iz koje bajka dolazi. Zaključno, mnoga istraživanja predstavljena u radu pokazuju da pripovijedanje tradicionalnih bajki može utjecati na razvoj prosocjalnog ponašanja i emocionalne inteligencije te da kroz čitanje/pripovijedanje djeca mogu naučiti o univerzalnim lekcijama o moralnosti koje su mnogim kulturama zajedničke te na taj način pozitivno utjecati na razvoj interkulturne kompetencije.In today's globalized society, intercultural communication skills are essential for navigating a culturally diverse environment, as we are increasingly surrounded by individuals from different backgrounds with various worldviews due to frequent migration, the internet, media, and social networks. Children today are exposed to different cultures from an early age, making intercultural competence a crucial tool for effective communication as they grow. Many authors emphasize the need for intercultural education, and stories have historically been a medium for transmitting cultural values across the world. Since stories convey cultural values, they can teach us about other cultures, their heroes, values, and perspectives. This paper presents a theoretical framework of the phenomena of culture and intercultural competence, along with their connection to empathy, as a means of facilitating understanding of other cultures and foreign worldviews. Traditional stories, as a medium, present characters and worlds in which readers/listeners immerse themselves, learning about their attitudes, values, and challenges. Following the theoretical framework, the paper will analyse traditional stories from ten different cultures, demonstrating how stories serve as a transmitter of ethical values from which readers can learn about the worldview of the culture from which the tale originates. In conclusion, many studies presented in the paper show that storytelling of traditional fairy tales can influence the development of prosocial behaviour and emotional intelligence, and through reading/storytelling, children can gain insight into the moral frameworks of other cultures, which can positively impact the development of intercultural competence
Cancellation culture analysis on selected examples
No full textKultura otkazivanja ili kultura isključivanja nikoga ne zaobilazi. U 21. stoljeću javnost sve prati i promatra kroz prizmu vlastite etike. Javnost je sve uključenija u procese definiranja novih društvenih vrijednosti. Pojavom Interneta i društvenih mreža u svakodnevnu životu cjelokupnoga društva, greške koje je netko napravio više nisu skrivene već su javne i dostupne svima. Javnost donosi vlastiti zaključak kako će tretirati osobu koja je pogriješila. Greška može proizvesti kriznu situaciju koju danas mogu prouzrokovati napisane ili izgovorene riječ, kao i tradicionalni uzroci krize. Uz to je kultura otkazivanja pojam koji se sve češće može vidjeti i čuti u različitim vrstama medija.
Cilj je rada prikazati kulturu otkazivanja na odabranim primjerima te prikazati stavove o kulturi otkazivanja. Ona se najčešće povezuje uz društvene mreže i političku korektnost, no cilj je ovog rada prikazati kulturu otkazivanja kao dio kriznog komuniciranja. U prvom je dijelu rada razrađen teorijski aspekt koji uključuje povijest nastanka kulture otkazivanja korištenjem relevantne literature. Kako bi se razumjela kultura otkazivanja rad uz to obrađuje pojmove političke korektnosti, aktivizma i cenzure te objašnjava razliku između navedenih pojmova.
Rad pruža detaljnu analizu odabranih primjera kulture otkazivanja. Odabrani primjeri kulture otkazivanja prikazuju razliku kulture otkazivanja u Hrvatskoj i svijetu. Odabrani su primjeri slučaj Philips u Hrvatskoj te slučaj autorice J. K. Rowling kao primjer za kulturu otkazivanja izvan Hrvatske. Analiza je napravljena pomoću relevantnih sekundarnih izvora pomoću unaprijed definiranih parametara. Uz to, rad daje uvid u kvantitativno istraživanje na temu stavova i mišljenja o kulturi otkazivanja koje su ispunili građani Republike Hrvatske. Istraživanje je pokazalo da ispitanici imaju negativan stav prema kulturi otkazivanja te je ne podržavaju.A cancel culture or a culture of disconnection does not escape anyone. In the 21st century, the public follows and observes everything through the prism of its own ethics. The public is all involved in the process of defining new social values. With the advent of the Internet and social networks in the daily life of the entire society, mistakes made by someone are no longer hidden but are public and available to everyone. The public draws its own conclusion on how to treat a person who has made a mistake. A mistake can produce a crisis situation that today can be caused by written or spoken words, as well as traditional causes of crisis. In addition, cancel culture is a term that can be seen and heard more and more often in different types of media.
The aim of the paper is to show cancel culture on selected examples and to show attitudes about the cancel culture. The cancel culture is most often associated with social media and political correctness, but the aim of this paper is to present the culture as part of crisis communication. In the first part of the paper, the theoretical aspect is elaborated, which includes the history of the cancel culture with the use of relevant literature. In order to understand the cancel culture, the paper also deals with the concepts of political correctness, activism and censorship and explains the difference between these concepts.
The paper provides a detailed analysis of selected examples of crisis communication. Selected examples of cancel culture show the difference between cancel culture in Croatia and the world. Paper shows the Philips case as the Croatian example and the author J.K. Rowling as an example for the cancel culture outside of Croatia. Analysis was made using relevant secondary sources and predefined parameters. In addition, the paper gives an insight into the quantitative research on the topic of attitudes and opinions about the cancel culture, which were filled out by the citizens of the Republic of Croatia. The research showed that the respondents have a negative attitude towards the cancel culture and do not support it
Ethical Consumption in Everyday Life of Citizens of Zagreb and Surroundings
No full textImajući u vidu sociološka promišljanja interaktivnosti potrošnje (Baudrillard, 2003) koja u tekuće modernosti postaje usamljena djelatnost (Bauman, 2000), u ovomu se radu tematizirala etička komponenta potrošnje kao aktualni, ali i nedovoljno istraženi fenomen u hrvatskom društvu (Brstilo, Šuća i Zujić, 2021). Referentna istraživanja ukazuju da je etička potrošnja složena praksa svojstvena modelu moralnog jastva potrošača (Barnett, 2005) s različitim profilima etičkih potrošača (Tallontire, Rentsendorj i Blowfield, 2001) i jazom koji nastaje između stava pojedinaca o etički prihvatljivim proizvodima i kupovini istih (Tallontire i sur., 2001; Papaoikonomou, Valverde i Ryan, 2011).
Za potrebe ovoga rada etička potrošnja istražena je upravo iz iskustvene perspektive etičkih potrošača. Riječ je o prigodnom uzorku sedmero građana Zagreba i okolice u dobi od 24 do 62 godine s ciljem uvida u njihove etičke potrošačke prakse, stavove i motivacije. Korištena je kvalitativna metodologija metodom individualnog polu-strukturiranog intervjua poštivanjem etičkog istraživačkog protokola o dobrovoljnosti, informiranosti o temi i svrsi istraživanja te anonimnosti. Istraživanjem se utvrdilo da je riječ o aktivnim etičkim potrošačima koji kroz etičku prizmu organiziraju vlastitu svakodnevicu, iako nisu u svim segmentima jednako sustavni. Najizraženiji etički angažman sudionici su realizirali u domeni mode i prehrane, a manje u odnosu na domene kozmetike i tehnologije. Tome u prilog ide nalaz o sudioničkom bojkotiranju brze mode i prehrambenih proizvoda pri čemu se istaknuo bojkot Nestlé proizvode. Sudionici su mišljenja kako se u hrvatskom društvu događaju pozitivnih pomaci u vidu porasta etičkog interesa i praksa građana, ali se po njima još uvijek radi o pomacima nedostatnim za strukturalnu društvenu promjenu. Upravo se ovim radom želi doprinijeti aktualiziranju teme etičke potrošnje u hrvatskom društvu s obzirom na njezin potencijal doprinosa općem dobru i održivog društvenoga i individualnog životnog stila.Taking into account the sociological reflections on the interactivity of consumption (Baudrillard, 2003), which in current modernity becomes a solitary activity (Bauman, 2000), this paper thematizes the ethical component of consumption as an actual but insufficiently researched phenomenon in Croatian society (Brstilo, Šuća, and Zujić, 2021). Referential research indicates that ethical consumption is a complex practice inherent in the model of consumer moral subjectivity (Barnett, 2005), with different profiles of ethical consumers (Tallontire, Rentsendorj, and Blowfield, 2001) and the gap that arises between the attitude of individuals about ethically acceptable products and their purchase (Tallontire et al., 2001; Papaoikonomou, Valverde and Ryan, 2011).
For the purposes of this study, ethical consumption was researched precisely from the perspectives of individuals actively engaged in ethical consumption. This involved a convenience sample of seven citizens of Zagreb and its surroundings,ranging in age from 24 to 62, with the aim of gaining insight into their ethical consumer practices, attitudes and motivation. Throughout this qualitative methodology, ethical research standards were upheld, ensuring voluntary participation, transparent communication about the study's objectives and anonymity. The conducted researchshowed that the research participants are active ethical consumers who integrate ethical considerations into their daily lives, although their approach may not be equally systematic across all areas. Participants demonstrated the highest level of ethical engagement in the realms of fashion and nutrition, while showing less pronounced involvement in areas such as cosmetics and technology. This observation is supported by their participation in boycotts of fast fashion and certain food products, notably Nestlé items. Research participants expressed optimism about positive shifts occurring within Croatian society, noting an increased ethical awareness and activism among citizens. However, they also emphasized that these developments are not yet sufficient to bring about structural social change.This work aims to contribute to updating the topic of ethical consumption in Croatian society, considering its potential to contribute to the common good and sustainable societal and individual lifestyles
Knowledge and Attitudes of Men in The Republic of Croatia About Prostate Cancer: Cross-Sectional Study
No full textUvod: Rak prostate drugi je karcinom po učestalosti na svjetskoj razini, s čak 1,414.259 novih slučajeva godišnje i prvi je po prevalenciji. Na drugom mjestu slijedi ga karcinom pluća. Prema podatcima Hrvatskog registra za rak izdanog 2021. godine, karcinom prostate postao je najčešći karcinom među muškom populacijom u Republici Hrvatskoj i zauzima 18 % svih novo dijagnosticiranih karcinoma, odnosno 2434 oboljelih. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati koliko muškarci u Republici Hrvatskoj znaju o karcinomu prostate.
Metode: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje od siječnja do travnja 2024. godine. Ispitanici su bili muškarci u dobi od 40 do 70 godina. Podatci o znanju i stavovima muškaraca o karcinomu prostate prikupljeni su anketom provedenom putem interneta.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 105 muškaraca čija je prosječna dob bila u rasponu od 40 do 50 godina (51,4 %), sedamdeset devet ih je bilo oženjenih i većina (60 %) je imala srednjoškolsko obrazovanje. Većina muškaraca nije znala koja je glavna funkcija prostate, imala je nisku razinu znanja o rizicima čimbenika za rak prostate, a njih 79 % navodi da informacije o raku prostate nisu dobili od svog liječnika, već iz drugih izvora. Kao razlog odgađanja digitorektalnog pregleda; 44,4 % muškaraca navodi kako nije smatralo da je on potreban ili ih je bilo sram. Vlastitu informiranost o karcinomu prostate 75 % njih ocjenjuje kao nedovoljnu, a većina (91,7 %) ih je zainteresirana za preventivne preglede.
Zaključak: Nedostatak informacija o karcinomu prostate i preventivnim pregledima među muškarcima u RH dovodi do niske razine znanja o njemu. Učinkovito osmišljen i proveden obrazovni program može pomoći u prepoznavanju potreba i prioriteta ciljane populacije.Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, with as many as 1,414,259 new cases per year and the first in terms of prevalence. It is followed by lung cancer (1). According to data from the Croatian Cancer Registry issued in 2021, prostate cancer has become the most common cancer among the male population in the Republic of Croatia and accounts for 18% of all newly diagnosed cancers, i.e. 2434 patients. The aim of this research was to examine how much men in the Republic of Croatia know about prostate cancer.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to April 2024. Respondents were men aged 40 to 70 years. Data on men's knowledge and attitudes about prostate cancer were collected through an online survey.
Results: The research involved 105 men whose average age ranged from 40 to 50 years (51.4%), seventy-nine were married and the majority (60%) had a high school education. Most men did not know what the main function of the prostate was, had a low level of knowledge about risk factors for prostate cancer, and 79% of them stated that they did not receive information about prostate cancer from their doctor, but from other sources. As a reason for postponing the digitorectal examination, 44.4% of men said they did not consider it necessary or were ashamed. 75% of them rate their own information about prostate cancer as insufficient, and the majority (91.7%) are interested in preventive examinations.
Conclusion: The lack of information about prostate cancer and preventive examinations among men in the Republic of Croatia results in low level of knowledge about it. An effectively designed and implemented educational program can help identify the needs and priorities of the target population
Personality Traits, Self- Regulation, Problematic Smartphone Use and Fear of Missing Out as Predictors of Bedtime Procrastination
No full textNedovoljno i odgođeno spavanje važni su i rastući društveni problemi koji mogu dovesti do umora, slabijeg učinka i zdravstvenih problema. Jedan od glavnih čimbenika koji pridonosi nedostatku sna je prokrastinacija odlaska na spavanje, sklonost odlaska na spavanje kasnije nego što je planirano bez vanjskih pritisaka koji na to prisiljavaju. Unatoč visokoj učestalosti prokrastinacije odlaska na spavanje, povezanost ovog konstrukta s određenim psihološkim varijablama nije temeljito proučena.
Budući da u hrvatskoj populaciji ova vrsta prokrastinacije nije istraživana, cilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati odnose osobina ličnosti, samoregulacije, problematičnog korištenja pametnih telefona, straha od propuštanja i prokrastinacije odlaska na spavanje te ispitati postojanje spolnih razlika u stupnju prokrastinacije odlaska na spavanje kod mladih u dobi od 18 do 30 godina. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 152 sudionika, pri čemu je bilo 100 sudionica i 52 sudionika. Prosječna je dob iznosila 24,76 godina.
Provedena multipla regresijska analiza pokazala je kako su značajni prediktori prokrastinacije odlaska na spavanje otvorenost prema iskustvu i samoregulacija, pri čemu izraženija otvorenost, a manja razina samoregulacije previđaju veći stupanj prokrastinacije odlaska na spavanje. Spolne razlike u stupnju prokrastinacije odlaska na spavanje nisu se pokazale statistički značajnima.Inadequate and delayed sleep are important and growing social issues that can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and health problems. One major factor contributing to sleep deprivation is bedtime procrastination, which refers to the habit of delaying bedtime beyond what was intended without external reasons for doing so. Despite the high prevalence of bedtime procrastination, its relationship with certain psychological variables has not been thoroughly researched.
Since this type of procrastination has not been studied in the Croatian population, the aim of this research was to examine the relationships between personality traits, self-regulation, problematic smartphone use, fear of missing out and bedtime procrastination, as well as to examine whether there are gender differences in bedtime procrastination among young people aged 18 to 30. A total of 152 young adults participated in the study, including 100 women and 52 men, with a mean age of 24.76 years.
The multiple regression analysis revealed that significant predictors of bedtime procrastination are openness to experience and self-regulation, with higher openness and lower levels of self-regulation predicting greater bedtime procrastination. Gender differences in bedtime procrastination were not statistically significant
Zagreb at the end of the century: Display of Zagreb as a tourist destination based on the example of the Illustrated Guide from 1891.
No full textGodine 1891. objavljen je Ilustrovani vodić po Zagrebu i njegovoj okolici, koji je pružio detaljan prikaz urbanog i kulturnog razvoja Zagreba krajem 19. stoljeća. Ovaj vodič, namijenjen posjetiteljima, opisuje glavne gradske znamenitosti, ulice, trgove, parkove i kulturne institucije, te nudi praktične informacije o smještaju, javnom prijevozu i ugostiteljskim uslugama. Posebna pažnja posvećena je opisu kulturne baštine grada, detaljnim opisima povijesti grada kao i elementima modernizacije uključujući uvođenje tramvajskih linija i poboljšanje prometne infrastrukture, što je znatno povećalo pristupačnost i atraktivnost Zagreba kao turističke destinacije. Kroz analizu ovog vodiča, rad istražuje kako je on oblikovao percepciju Zagreba kao dinamičnog, kulturno bogatog grada, te značajno pridonio njegovoj popularizaciji među domaćim i stranim posjetiteljima. Vodič iz 1891. godine nije samo zabilješka Zagreba u toj godini, već i alat koji je aktivno sudjelovao u promociji i razvoju Zagreba, naglašavajući njegovu ulogu kao rastućeg urbanog mjesta u Zagrebu i šire.In 1891, an Illustrated guide to Zagreb and its surroundings was published, which provided a detailed description of urban and cultural development of Zagreb at the end of the 19th century. This guide, intended for visitors, describes the city's main sights, streets, squares, parks and cultural institutions, and offers practical information on accommodation, public transport and catering services. Special attention was made to the description of the city's cultural heritage, detailed descriptions of the city's history as well as elements of modernization, including the introduction of tram lines and the improvement of transport infrastructure, which significantly increased the accessibility and attractiveness of Zagreb as a tourist destination. Through the analysis of this guide, the paper investigates how it shaped the perception of Zagreb as a dynamic, culturally rich city, and significantly contributed to its popularization among domestic and foreign visitors. The guide from 1891 is not only a record of Zagreb in that year, but also a tool that actively participated in the promotion and development of Zagreb, emphasizing its role as a growing urban place in Zagreb and beyond
Discrimination and Stigmatization of Patients with Mental Disorders Treated in Hospital: cross-sectional study
No full textTema diplomskog rada je diskriminacija i stigmatizacija pacijenata s mentalnim poremećajima liječenih u bolnici. U radu je prikazano značenje biopsihosocijalne formulacije psihičkih poremećaja, kao i pojam stigmatizacije i diskriminacije. Cilj rada bio je ispitati diskriminaciju i stigmatizaciju pacijenata s mentalnim poremećajima liječenih u Klinici za psihijatriju Vrapče u ambulantnom i dnevnobolničkom tretmanu. Korištena je Skala diskriminacije i stigmatizacije (DISC-12) koja je validirani instrument za mjerenje stupnja izloženosti diskriminaciji i stigmatizaciji. Ispitanici su bili pacijenti s mentalnim poremećajima liječeni u Klinici za psihijatriju Vrapče. Uključilo se 93 punoljetne osobe, oba spola, neovisno o dobi, koji su potpisom informiranog pristanka dali suglasnost za sudjelovanje u anonimnom istraživanju. Ispunjavanje upitnika odvijalo se od siječnja do lipnja 2024. godine. Postavljene su tri hipoteze. Prva se odnosi na proživljeno iskustvo stigme i diskriminacije u raznim aspektima funkcioniranja u društvu. Druga se odnosi na skrivanje bolesti osoba oboljelih od psihičke bolesti, a treća se odnosila na spol. Pretpostavilo se da su žene doživjele veću diskriminaciju u pronalaženju i zadržavanju posla i pristupu obrazovanju od muškaraca. Analiza podataka potvrdila je prisutnost stigme i diskriminacije kod osoba oboljelih od mentalnih poremećaja u raznim aspektima funkcioniranja u društvu, kao i skrivanje psihičke bolesti, čime se može reći da su prve dvije hipoteze potvrđene. No, treća hipoteza o spolnim razlikama u diskriminaciji u pronalaženju i zadržavanju posla te pristupu obrazovanja nije potvrđena jer nisu opažene statistički značajne spolne razlike. Uzimajući u obzir rezultate istraživanja koji ukazuju na prisutnost stigmatizacije i/ili samostigmatizacije kod osoba sa psihičkim oboljenjima, ključno je kontinuirano raditi na ublažavanju negativnih posljedica. Potrebno je provoditi programe protiv stigmatizacije te edukacija opće populacije kako bi se stigma, kao glavna prepreka liječenju i oporavku, prevenirala.The topic of the thesis is discrimination and stigmatization of patients with mental disorders treated in the hospital. The paper presents the meaning of the biopsychosocial formulation of mental disorders, as well as the concept of stigmatization and discrimination. The aim of the work was to examine the discrimination and stigmatization of patients with mental disorders treated at the Vrapče Psychiatry Clinic in outpatient and day hospital treatment. The Discrimination and Stigmatization Scale (DISC-12) was used, which is a validated instrument for measuring the degree of exposure to discrimination and stigmatization. The respondents were patients with mental disorders treated at the Vrapče Psychiatry Clinic. 93 adults, of both sexes, regardless of age, signed an informed consent and agreed to participate in the anonymous research. Filling in the questionnaire took place from January to June 2024. Three hypotheses were put forward. The first refers to the lived experience of stigma and discrimination in various aspects of functioning in society. The second refers to hiding the illness of people suffering from mental illness, and the third related to gender. It was hypothesized that women experienced more discrimination in finding and keeping a job and accessing education than men. The data analysis confirmed the presence of stigma and discrimination among people suffering from mental disorders in various aspects of functioning in society, as well as the hiding of mental illness, which means that the first two hypotheses have been confirmed. However, the third hypothesis about gender differences in discrimination in finding and keeping a job and access to education was not confirmed because no statistically significant gender differences were observed. Taking into account the research results that indicate the presence of stigmatization and/or self-stigmatization in people with mental illnesses, it is crucial to continuously work on mitigating the negative consequences. It is necessary to implement programs against stigmatization and education of the general population in order to prevent stigma, as the main obstacle to treatment and recovery
