Prejudices of Nurses Towards Roma as Patients in the Healthcare System of the Republic of Croatia PREDRASUDE MEDICINSKIH SESTARA O ROMIMA KAO PACIJENTIMA U SUSTAVU ZDRAVSTVA REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE true false /api/journal/20106320 REVIEWED true false false 20106320 true 2584-5659 2584-6531 Journal 8 2 153 167 153 15 2024 Due to deeply rooted prejudices, the Roma are the most vulnerable and multiply discriminated ethnic group and national minority, facing discriminatory challenges in various spheres of society, including our healthcare system. These challenges limit the quality of healthcare, potentially increasing the risk of disease progression and premature death. The study aimed to analyze the prejudices of nurses and medical technicians towards members of the Roma national minority and to assess their correlation with certain socio-demographic characteristics and beliefs of the respondents. The study included 536 nurses employed in the healthcare system across all three levels, working directly with patients. Based on the opinions collected on 29 provided statements about the status and treatment of Roma as patients, 19 statements were isolated through exploratory factor analysis and classified into four detected and interpretable reliable factors. These factors were named: “Roma within the healthcare system”, “Protecting Roma from the consequences of discrimination”, “General prejudices against Roma”, and “Attitudes of nurses and medical technicians towards Roma patients”, which together explain 60.7% of the total variance. The analysis showed that some nurses share the same general prejudices towards Roma as the general population. Respondents with a higher level of education, older age, and those living in the Međimurje County and Northern Croatia expressed statistically significantly more negative attitudes toward Roma than younger, less educated individuals and those living in other parts of Croatia. Additionally, belonging to the majority population resulted in more negative attitudes towards Roma compared to respondents from national minorities. Respondents who had personal and professional contact with Roma on some factors exhibited less negative attitudes than those who had no such contact. Respondents from the right-wing political spectrum expressed more negative attitudes towards Roma, while religiosity did not show statistical significance. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved. 2025 true true true false false false NONE 2026-01-23 false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Q4 false false false false 2025-11-12T10:06:58.549+0000 4 20 0 8 0 false Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 128498236 /api/authorship/128498236 1 0.125 true false false Sedić B. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498237 /api/authorship/128498237 2 0.125 false false false Racz A. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498238 /api/authorship/128498238 3 0.125 false false false Pavić J. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498239 /api/authorship/128498239 4 0.125 false false false Armano L. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498240 /api/authorship/128498240 5 0.125 false false false Kunac S. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498241 /api/authorship/128498241 6 0.125 false false false Škiljan F. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498242 /api/authorship/128498242 7 0.125 false false false Rodik P. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128498243 /api/authorship/128498243 8 0.125 false true false Rukavina M. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 30156760 /api/publicationidentifier/30156760 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true IDENTICAL 10.24141/2/8/2/8 https://doi.org/10.24141/2/8/2/8 false true PublicationIdentifier 30156759 /api/publicationidentifier/30156759 PlainSource 3 /api/publicationsource/3 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true Scopus Scopus http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-@@@ true true 3 true IDENTICAL 85215616205 http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-85215616205 false true Keyword 2059 /api/keyword/2059 true 2059 true Keyword 1043620 /api/keyword/1043620 true 1043620 true Keyword 1076645 /api/keyword/1076645 true 1076645 true Keyword 1496406 /api/keyword/1496406 true true Keyword 2071076 /api/keyword/2071076 true true SjrRating 11480667 /api/sjrrating/11480667 40 1.0 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr true true ClassificationExternal 2913 /api/classificationexternal/2913 true 2913 true Q4 DIRECT true true /api/publication/36433698 <div class="JournalArticle Publication long-list"> <div class="authors"> <img title="Idézőközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-citation-icon.png"> <div class="autype autype0"> <span class="author-name" >Sedić B. </span> ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
