	abstract = {Introduction. Research on differences in expectationsand preferences for healthcare between theBaby Boomer and Silent Generation is crucial, asthese two generations represent the largest groupsof healthcare service users. Their health attitudeshave been shaped by specific values and socioculturalconditions, resulting in different healthcareneeds. As they enter older age, their healthcareneeds become increasingly complex, requiring individualizedcare. Given the limited number of comparativestudies, further research is needed to improveservice quality, enhance older adults’ quality of life,and optimize resource use in healthcare systems.Aim. The aim of this paper was to identify empiricalstudies investigating the healthcare needs of theBaby Boomer and Silent generations.Methods. In this paper, an analysis of ten empiricalstudies involving participants aged 65 and older wasconducted. The data were primarily collected fromthe PubMed and Web of Science databases, with afocus on Research related to the healthcare needs ofthe Baby Boomer and Silent generations.Results. The analysis of the selected studies revealssignificant differences between the generations. BabyBoomers are confident, resourceful, and inclinedto address their health issues independently, preferringpersonalized communication with professionalsand technological solutions to improve accessto information. In contrast, healthcare for the SilentGeneration is shaped by conservative beliefs and traditional practices, leading to a more passive decisionmakingapproach with less information.Conclusion. Understanding generational differencesallows for the adaptation of healthcare services,improving care quality and patient satisfaction. Apersonalized approach, incorporating technology forBaby Boomers and social services for the Silent Generation,ensures optimal care for both generations.},

	abstract = {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.},

	abstract = {Introduction. The carcinogenic ultraviolet range of sunlight plays a major role in the development of malignant skin tumours with a steadily increasing incidence. It shows a significant upward trend in our country, with 2,742 new cases registered in 2016, nearly 15% of which were under 40 years of age. With conscious behaviour and the use of sunscreen products, the incidence of skin tumours can be reduced. The aim of the study is to assess the Hungarian population’s knowledge about skin cancer and attitudes towards sun protection.Methods. Quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in a dermatology clinic and among 7th and 8th-grade students and 11th and 12th-grade students of two high schools. The self-administered questionnaire used in the study included questions on socio-demographic data, addictions, skin type, family history of skin cancer, sunburns, sunbathing habits, sunscreen use, knowledge about sun protection and skin cancer, screening and self-testing.Results. 83.9% of respondents (n=356) have experien- ced sunburn 3 or more times, and 27.8% use sunscreen regularly (n=118). 62.7% of respondents (n=266) have never had a skin cancer/melanoma screening. A significant association was found between education, gender and sunscreen use (p<0.001). A significant association was also found between risky behaviour and going to a tanning salon (p<0.001).Conclusions. The Hungarian population has a lack of knowledge about skin cancer. The results indicate that more emphasis should be placed on increasing the knowledge and awareness of the population about sun protection and on developing good habits, starting at the primary and se- condary level.},

	abstract = {Introduction. despite the scientifically proven positive effect on the population, vaccination remains a major public health problem. The biggest problem at the moment is that attitudes are based on other people’s opinions or various scientifically unfounded information obtained via the internet.Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes and level of knowledge about vaccination of nursing students and non-medical students in Croatia and establish whether there is a difference between them.Methods. The study involved 961 nursing and non-medical students from Croatia, aged between 18 and 53 years. The research was conducted using an online questionnaire program ‘google forms’ which consisted of 33 questions and was completely anonymous.Results. The study shows that nursing students have better knowledge of vaccinations and vaccines. They also have a statistically more positive attitude towards vaccination in comparison to non-medical students. When it comes to obtaining information about vaccines, as in existing studies from around the world, the participants in this study stated that they first turn to doctors and nurses for information related to vaccination and its side effects.Conclusion. The results of this study show that nursing students have better knowledge. Also, there was a statistically significant difference between the attitudes of nursing students and students of non-health studies, but the numerical difference is very small, which actually shows a very small difference in attitudes. educational and health institutions play an important role in forming attitudes, as well as the importance of presenting accurate, clear, and proven information.},
