Abstract

Razdoblje školovanja i studija poklapa se s razdobljem intenzivnog psihofizičkog rasta i razvoja djece i mladih, a ljudski je organizam u ovoj razvojnoj dobi posebno osjetljiv na nepovoljne utjecaje. Rezultat tih utjecaja pojava je zdravstvenih problema specifičnih za populaciju mladih i potreba za specifičnim mjerama zdravstvene zaštite.
Tijekom svojeg dugog postojanja školska medicina u Hrvatskoj mijenjala je sadržaj i metode rada, ali osnovni cilj je ostao isti - očuvanje i unaprjeđenje zdravlja školske djece i mladeži. Odlukom ministra zdravstva Republike Hrvatske, od 1. siječnja 1998. godine stupila je na snagu zakonska odredba prema kojoj su pri županijskim zavodima za javno zdravstvo uspostavljene Službe za školsku medicinu. Ovim modelom djelovanje liječnika specijalista školske medicine i njegova uloga u brizi za zdravlje i dobrobit djece i mladih tijekom školovanja isključivo je preventivnog karaktera.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoji li prepoznatljivost Službe školske medicine među studentima medicine. Također se želio dobiti uvid o stavu ispitanika kome se obratiti za pomoć kada su u pitanju vodeći zdravstveni problemi karakteristični za dobnu skupinu mladih osoba.
Ispitivanje je obuhvatilo 84 studenta šeste godine studija medicine u Zagrebu, od kojih je 6 sudjelovalo u radu fokus grupe, a 78 ispunilo anketni upitnik. Ispitanici su odabrani nasumično i dobrovoljno su pristupili istraživanju. Anketa je sadržavala 15 pitanja.
Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazuju kako važnost rada Službe za školsku medicinu nije prepoznata u zadovoljavajućoj mjeri. Jasno je naglašen problem s kojim se susreću liječnici školske medicine: nemogućnost djelovanja („vezane ruke“). Kako je naglasak stavljen na preventivni rad, uočena je podcijenjenost i nemoć Službe za školsku medicinu da zaista djeluje i služi kao ključno mjesto brige za očuvanje zdravlja svim školarcima i studentima.

Abstract (english)

The period of education and studies coincides with the period of intense mental and physical growth and development of children and young people. Because of this, it is particularly susceptible to adverse effects. The result of these phenomena is appearance of health problems specific for youth population, and consequently specific measures of health care are required.
During its long existence, school medicine in Croatia has been changing its content and methods of work, but the main goal remained the same - to preserve and improve the health of school children and youth. Since January 1st 1998, Minister of Health, Republic of Croatia, made legal provision which integrated school medicine as a part of county public health services. Through this model, specialist doctors of school medicine are focused on health and wellbeing of children and young people during their education period but entirely through preventive activities.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the role and the importance of school health services are recognized among medical students. The idea was also to get a glimpse of the attitudes of respondents to whom should young person turn on for help when it comes to leading health problems typical for this age group.
The study involved 84 sixth year medical students from the University of Zagreb. Six students participated in the work of the focus groups, and 78 filled out the questionnaire. Respondents were selected randomly and accessed the survey voluntarily. Survey contained 15 questions.
Results of this study clearly show that the importance of the school health service is not recognized sufficiently. School doctors are faced with a clear problem: inability to act ("hands tied"). Since the emphasis of the work in school medicine has been put on the prevention, underestimation and infirmity of school health services in their purpose to serve as a nodal place for preserving the health of all school children and students have been recognized.
