CONCLUSIONS 1
Respondents have a traditional / medical approach to concept of health.
A significant percentage however, describes healthy lifestyle in a way that is closer to the concept of health as well-being, agrees that health is influenced by our choices and understand the importance of daily care.
CONCLUSIONS 2
But overall, respondents seem to adopt a rather passive approach to health care, many expect to be educated by medical staff and rely on traditional/conventional educational methods.
At the same time they seem to be over-confident of their knowledge, although they do not participate in relevant events, because ‘there’s no free time’.
CONCLUSIONS 3Influence of cultural factors / socially
established habits was also obvious (e.g. smoking, belief in traditional medicine) although it is also obvious that current trends / alternative approaches are present (e.g. healthy environment, emotional fitness).
Finally, they emphasized the role of the cultural center and the municipality, something expected as all respondents were residents of the local community.
GENERAL CONCLUSION
There is a long way to go for a substantial change in attitudes.
More information needs to be available concerning basic concepts.
Innovative and non-traditional methods need to be clearly explained to target population and be linked with established knowledge as well as with future benefits.
