Abstract

Razumijevanje zdravstvenih ponašanja ljudi važna je tema za mnoge stručnjake, čija je svrha podizanje kvalitete života i smanjivanje pojavljivanja i trajanja različitih bolesti. Problem ovog istraživanja bio je dobiti neke podatke vezane uz ovu raširenu temu za izdvojenu, malo istraživanu populaciju distributera zdrave prehrane. Ispitivana je savjesnost o zdravlju, orijentiranost na informacije o zdravlju, opća procjena zdravlja te zdravstvene navike kao vid opće orijentiranosti na zdravlje osobe. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 44 sudionika (23 muškarca i 21 ženu) s rasponom dobi 18-57 godine, te rasponom godina aktivnog rada u području zdrave prehrane 1-14 god, sa srednjom, višom i visokom stručnom spremom. Podaci su prikupljeni upitnikom od 20 čestica napravljenog isključivo za potrebe ovog istraživanja, pri čemu je dio čestica preuzet iz istraživanja Dutta-Bergman (2003). Rezultati su potvrdili pretpostavke o visokoj orijentiranosti na informacije o zdravlju te visokoj općoj procjeni zdravlja kod distributera zdrave prehrane. Kod zdravstvenih navika, pronađena je niska učestalost posjeta liječniku, dok su ostala pozitvna ponašanja bila učestalija, a negativna ponašanja slabo učestala ili gotovo uopće nisu bila prisutna kod većine sudionika. Većina korelacija bila je niska, dok je jedino opća procjena zdravlja bila umjereno pozitivno povezana sa savjesnošću o zdravlju (r= 0.45, p < 0.05). Pokazalo se i da muškarci imaju veće rezultate na savjesnosti o zdravlju u odnosu na žene, a sudionici sa srednjom stručnom spremom imaju veće rezultate na orijentiranosti na informacije o zdravlju.

Abstract (english)

Understanding health behaviors of people is an important topic for many experts, whose purpose is to raise the quality of life and reduce the occurrence and duration of various diseases. The problem of this study was to obtain information related to this pervasive theme for a separate, poorly investigated population of healthy nutrition distributors. The study examined health conscientiousness, health information orientation, general health assessment and healthy habits as a form of general health orientation. The study included 44 participants (23 men and 21 women) with age range of 18-57 years and the range of years of active work in the field of healthy nutrition 1-14 years, with high school, college and university graduates. Data were collected from a 20- item questionnaire made exclusively for the purposes of this study, where some of the items were taken from research by Dutta-Bergman (2003). The results confirmed the assumption of high health information orientation and high general health assessment by healthy nutrition distributors. For healthy habits, a lower frequency of doctor visits was found, with high occurrences of positive health behaviors while negative health behaviors showed poor results among the majority of participants. Most correlations were low, while only general health assessment was positive and moderately associated with health conscientiousness (r= 0. 45, p < 0.05). It has been shown that men have higher scores on health conscientiousness than women, and the participants with high school graduation had higher scores on health information orientation.
