Cilj rada je upozoriti na učestalost sjedilačkog ponašanja, odnosno nedovoljne tjelesne aktivnosti školske djece te na povezanostnavike predugog sjedenja i pojave glavobolja. Služili smo se hrvatskom ...bazom podataka međunarodnog istraživanja Health Behaviourof School-aged Children, 2013./2014. gdine. Za potrebe ovog rada primijenili smo pitanja koja opisuju sjedilačko ponašanje iglavobolje. Statistička obrada je obavljena pomoću IBM SPSS Statistics 24,0 statističkog programa. Za uzorak je uzet 5741 učenik(49,8% Ž, 50,2% M) 5. i 7. razreda osnovne škole te 1. razreda srednje škole (11, 13 i 15 godina), s podjednakom dobnom raspodjelom.Odaziv je bio 85,9%. Svaki dan je tjelesno aktivno 25,3% ispitanika. Dva sata slobodnog vremena uz ekrane dnevno provodi 23,9%ispitanika. Petina ispitanika odgovara kako igra igrice oko ½ sata na dan. Djeca koja su tjelesno aktivnija imaju manje glavobolje(OR 0,0905, p<0,001). Više vremena provedenog uz ekrane povezano je s češćim glavoboljama (OR 1,082, p<0,003), a duže igranjeigrica je povezano sa manje glavobolja (OR=0,890, p<0,001). Analizom upućujemo na povezanost sjedilačko ponašanja i pojavuglavobolja, tako da su tjelesna aktivnost i igranje igrica zaštitni čimbenik, a vrijeme provedeno uz ekrane rizičan.
- Headaches are very common in school population. The aim of this study was to determine epidemiological data on headaches among Croatian schoolchildren and their connection to risk factors and other ...health complaints. In the study, we used the Croatian database of the international research entitled Health Behavior in School-aged Children for 2013/2014. It is a cross-sectional study conducted every four years in 44 countries among children aged 11-16. The students were interviewed using an anonymous standardized questionnaire. The Croatian sample consisted of 5741 students, of which 2857(49.8%) girls and 2884 (50.2%) boys. The response rate was 85.9%. Headaches were reported to be often (once a week to daily) by 23.5% of students and were more often in girls and in higher school grades. They were positively linked to cigarette smoking and health complaints such as back pain and stomachache, bad mood, nervousness, irritability, difficulties with sleeping and dizziness. Headaches are associated to many health problems and can cause difficulties in student functioning. This could be a serious problem. This study pointed to connection of headaches with cigarette smoking and importance to underpin the smoking prevention programs.
U Hrvatskoj je cjepivo protiv HPV infekcije preporučljivo i besplatno na nacionalnoj razini od školske godine 2015./2016. U prethodnim
godinama cijepljenje protiv HPV infekcije bilo je dobrovoljno i ...besplatno u pojedinim jedinicama regionalne ili lokalne samouprave.
U školskoj godini 2017./2018. cijepljenje protiv HPV infekcije je besplatno i dobrovoljo za učenike i učenice 8. razreda osnovne
škole i djecu iste dobi koja ne pohađaju školu. Školski liječnici su jedini cjepitelji. Cijepljenje protiv HPV infekcije jedino je dobrovoljno i
besplatno cjepivo u Republici Hrvatskoj omogućeno cijeloj generaciji učenika i učenica. Dobrovoljnost kod cijepljenja protiv HPV
infekcije nameće pitanje jesmo li osigurali pravo na to cijepljenje roditeljima i djeci ako nisu bili informirani o toj mogućnosti. Edukativni
roditeljski sastanci za roditelje djece 8. razreda osnovne škole i individualni pozivi za cijepljenje protiv HPV-a osnovne su aktivnosti
promicanja prava na cijepljenje, no za porast odaziva na cijepljenje potrebno je dodatno zauzimanje školskih liječnika, zavoda
za javno zdravstvo, škola, institucija, medija i drugih dionika.
In Croatia, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine became available through a publicly funded national programme during the 2015/2016 school year among boys and girls in the first year high school. ...Improved parental awareness of HPV and vaccination could help increase the uptake of the vaccination. The primary aim of this study is to establish the importance of educating parents for a greater response to the voluntary vaccination.
Parents of students in the first year of high school evaluated the educational lessons in the spring of 2016 in 11 counties coordinated by the Croatian Institute of Public Health: total of 36 doctors from 11 counties. Statistical significance was tested using chi-squared test.
In total, 3350 evaluations were submitted (82.7%). Parents with a positive attitude towards vaccination following the education more often stated the lesson contributed to this attitude than parents with a negative attitude (P < 0.001). Results show that counties with highest attendance had highest rates of vaccination (Sisačko-moslovačka 1.74 highest and Dubrovačko-Neretvanska 0.03 lowest).
Our study shows that parents have the impression an educational lesson can contribute to the development of their positive attitude towards vaccination. Further research should be aimed at disparities and how to target these with appropriate interventions.
The need for improving oral health in the Republic of Croatia was based on health indicators and poor oral health status and resulted in the implementation of measures to improve the use of dental ...health care for schoolchildren through the national program called "Dental Passport", which began in the 2017/2018 school year.
The aim of this study was to present the content and results of its implementation and to analyse them with emphasis on the sustainability and inclusion of the program and its implementation in preventive activities and procedures.
The data were collected from the completed "Dental Passport" forms from September 2017 to August 2018. The dental examinations and diagnostic-therapeutic procedures were recorded in The Central Health Information System of Croatia.
In the school year 2017/2018, 24,729 6
grade elementary school students visited a dentist. The response rate in the Republic of Croatia was 68%. According to the CEZIH data, in the period from September 1 to December 31 2017, an increase in the number of first examinations and diagnostic-therapeutic procedures was observed in children aged 12 years, compared to the same period in 2015. The least reported preventive procedures in preschool children and 6
grade students were fissure sealing and sealing restorations, while motivating and instructing children on oral hygiene were the most common reported procedures.
Good organization of work in school medicine provides the basis for the implementation of dental programs involving schoolchildren. However, greater motivation of the dental health care provider in the implementation of preventive procedures and motivation of parents and patients for a more active involvement in the "Dental Passport" program are important determinants in further implementation and improvement of oral health in children.
It is known that cannabis increases mood, decreases anxiety and causes mild euphoria, but also it can cause serious mental diseases. Previous studies showed harmful effects of cannabis and the aim of ...this study is to show characteristics of persons registrated because of cannabinoids abuse in Croatia in the period 2008-2018 and show effectiveness of interventions using statistic methods.
Research data were collected based on the national Registry of Treated Psychoactive Drug Abusers in period 2008 to 2018 and included 10 533 registrated persons. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square test and binary logistic regression.
Results showed that men and very young people took cannabinoids more often than women and older people. There was a changing trend of registrated people in a ten-year period. The most commonly used intervention of obligatory healthcare treatment is consultation, but the difference between apstinents and people with unchanged status isn't statistically significant. The most people are referred by repressive mechanism and they are more likely to have apstinent status compared to unrepressive source of referral, with one exception - referred by the family. The highest probability of abstinence have those referred by the center for social welfare.
Registrated people were mostly referred by repressive way, which makes question of its efficiency and prevention of long term addiction, because system like that more likely stigmatizes and punishes young people, opposite to giving support and help.
To investigate the association between environmental factors (perceived availability of marijuana, perceived use among friends and siblings, use of alcohol and tobacco, family structure, parental ...control, school performance) and lifetime prevalence and frequent and early marijuana use in high school students.
We used self-reported data from 15-16 years old participants of the 2003 European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) conducted in 11 countries: Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Russian Federation, and Ukraine. Multivariate logistic regression was used for data analysis.
Countries varied according to lifetime prevalence (8.7%-47.8%) and frequent (8.7%-23.9%) and early (3.0%-13.0%) marijuana use. Daily tobacco smoking was most strongly associated with lifetime marijuana use for boys in 7 and for girls in 5 countries, with highest odds ratio (OR, 95% and confidence interval - CI) for boys in Denmark (OR, 13.52; 95% CI, 8.16-22.4), and for girls in the Czech Republic (OR, 21.21; 95% CI, 12.99-34.62). Perceived marijuana availability was most strongly associated with frequent marijuana use for boys in 4 countries (highest in Slovenia: OR, 19.28; 95% CI, 6.52-57.02) and girls in 5 (highest in Slovenia: OR, 19.05; 95% CI, 5.18-70.04). Perceived use of marijuana among friends was most strongly associated with frequent marijuana use in 5 countries, both for boys (highest in Norway: OR, 23.91; 95% CI, 4.16-137.48) and girls (highest in Denmark: OR, 75.42; 95% CI, 13.11-433.90). Perceived use of marijuana among friends was most strongly associated with early marijuana use in 8 countries for boys (highest in Norway: OR, 54.03; 95% CI, 3.34-875.19) and 3 countries for girls (highest in Denmark: OR, 7.29; 95%CI, 1.77-30.12).
In each country, marijuana use was associated with similar factors, regardless of marijuana use prevalence in that country.The influence of peer group and perceived availability of marijuana seemed more important than parental control and family structure.
