Abstract

Among the main determinants that form a holistic view of the health of the population are the following: lifestyle, influence of genetic factors, state of health care delivery system and socio-economic status of the country. In the article, we proposed a self-administered questionnaire on self-assessment of self-esteem, the importance of prevention and risk-taking behavior at primary level, and analyzed the main results that help characterize patients' perceptions of healthy lifestyles and health.

Purpose – to study attitudes towards one's own health, to undergo periodic preventive examinations, to be responsible for one's own health among the contingent assigned to the service of the SIS “RPC PCM” SAD, and to identify the main factors of influence.

Material and methods. Analysis of literary sources, sociological and system analysis. The survey was conducted at the pre-doctoral counseling stage on equal terms for all patients by way of active interviewing by the same interviewer.

Results of the study and their discussion. 349 patients participated in the survey, including 159 (45.6%) men and 190 (54.4%) women. The average age of the respondents is 40.8±9.8 year (min 19 years, max 83 years). The survey questionnaires have 7 main blocks of questions, which are designed to determine the patient's level of awareness and identify him or her as accurately as possible.

Conclusions. Analyzing the results of a sociological survey conducted among a contingent attached to the service of the State Institution of Science "Research and Practical Centre of Preventive and Clinical Medicine" State Administration Department, it was found that more than 95% of the respondents are aware of the concepts of "healthy lifestyle", "risk factors for chronic diseases", "foul" preventive medical checkup», etc. With regard to the assessment of one's own health, it should be noted that more than half (62.8%) of the respondents consider it satisfactory, while noting that they have one or more chronic diseases (mainly in the stage of persistent remission).

The prospects for further research are to analyze the results of the questionnaire and to correlate it with the data of the objective study, which will allow to determine, besides the attitude to the medical prophylaxis and psychological type of person, the level of patient's commitment to the doctor's appointments.
