abstract = "Throughout history, people have been affected by numerous pandemics, whether
caused by human factors or natural disasters and calamities (1). In the conditions of
epidemics, health workers also become vulnerable, and as a priority they put the needs of
their patients above their own (2). The aim of the research was to examine beliefs of
students regarding the obligations of health workers in the conditions of global pandemics,
on a sample of 268 students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade were
interviewed using a purpose-built questionnaire. The mean age was 21.41±2.11. Dominated
by females (87.3%), from the fifth year of study (35%) and with a completed secondary
vocational school (52.2%). The majority of respondents (91%) believe that by choosing a
profession they consciously accept the possibility of being exposed to a high risk of infectious
diseases. But, 67.5% of students stated that they were not fully awared of all the risks that
characterize the profession of health worker and the risk to their health while dealing with
sick patients, as well as the way of their own protection. More than half of respondents
(56%) would refuse to provide medical care to a high-risk patients if they did not have
adequate protection. The obtained results indicate that there is a certain level of concern for
the safety of health workers in the conditions of a global pandemic., Brojne epidemije obeležile su ljudsku istoriju, bilo izazvane ljudskim faktorima ili
prirodnim katastrofama i nepogodama (1). U uslovima epidemija i zdravstveni radnici
postaju ranjivi, a kao prioritet stavljaju potrebe svojih pacijenata iznad sopstvenih (2). Cilj
istraživanja je ispitati stavove studenata u vezi sa obavezama zdravstvenih radnika u
uslovima globalnih pandemija na uzorku od 268 studenata Farmaceutskog fakulteta
Univerziteta u Beogradu, sa namenski kreiranim upitnikom. Prosečna starost je bila
21,41±2,11. Dominiraju osobe ženskog pola (87,3%), sa pete godine studija (35%) i sa
završenom srednjom stručnom školom (52,2%). Većina ispitanika (91%) smatra da izborom
profesije svesno prihvataju mogućnost izlaganja visokom riziku od infektivnih bolesti.
Međutim, 67,5% studenata nije u potpunosti upoznato sa svim rizicima koji karakterišu
profesiju zdravstvenog radnika i rad sa obolelim pacijentima rizičnim po njihovo zdravlje,
kao ni sa načinom sopstvene zaštite i više od polovine (56%) odbilo bi da pruži adekvatno
medicinsko zbrinjavanje visoko rizičnom pacijentu ako nemaju odgovarajuću zaštitu.
Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da postoji određeni nivo brige za bezbenost zdravstvenih radnika
u uslovima globalne pandemije.",
