Abstract:Izhodišče: Vedno več ljudi potuje. Zaradi napredka potovalne infrastrukture in tehnologije nam je omogočeno potovanje tudi v najbolj oddaljene kraje, tudi v take, kjer zdravje in higiena nista visoko na listi prioritet. Da se izognemo boleznim, ki nas ogrožajo v nam nepoznanem okolju, je dobro, da poznamo ukrepe, kako se pred njimi zaščitimo. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti, v kolikšni meri popotniki upoštevajo epidemiološke ukrepe pred in med potovanjem v države tretjega sveta. Cilj je bil raziskati, kaj je glavni vir informacij popotnikov o preventivnih epidemioloških priporočilih, katere nefarmakološke in farmakološke ukrepe najpogosteje uporabljajo, kateri so razlogi za neupoštevanje priporočil o cepljenju in kemoprofilaksi ter kolikšen delež popotnikov zboli kljub upoštevanju preventivnih priporočil. Metoda: Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni raziskovalni metodi preučevanja in deskriptivni metodi dela. Za potrebe empiričnega dela so bili zbrani in analizirani podatki, ki smo jih pridobili z metodo anketiranja. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo spletnega orodja 1ka in analizirani z metodami deskriprivne statistike. Rezultati: Z raziskavo smo ugotovili, da je splet najpogostejši vir informacij popotnikov. Najpogostejši nefarmakološki ukrep popotnikov je umivanje rok z vodo in milom, vendar ga vedno uporablja le slaba polovica anketirancev. Najpogosteje se popotniki cepijo proti hepatitisu A, vsak drugi popotnik pa na potovanjih uporablja tudi probiotike. Med ljudmi še vedno obstaja dvom o smiselnosti cepljenja in varnosti cepiv, saj dobra desetina anketirancev navaja, da ne vidijo smisla v cepljenju, saj lahko zbolijo kljub zaščiti s cepivom, desetino anketirancev pa je strah stranskih učinkov. Kljub upoštevanju epidemioloških preventivnih ukrepov je dobrih 40 % popotnikov na potovanju še vedno zbolelo. Razprava: Večina popotnikov je sicer dobro opremljena z znanjem o preventivnih epidemioloških ukrepih, vendar jih dosledno upoštevajo v pomembno manjšem številu. Večina popotnikov najprej poišče informacije na spletu, zato je smiselno, da javnozdravstveni zavodi posamezne države skrbijo za točnost in ažurnost teh podatkov. Treba je poudarjati pomen tako farmakoloških kot nefarmakoloških preventivnih ukrepov ter izobraževati popotnike o pravilnem obnašanju in pravilni uporabi zdravil na potovanju, da je zdravje popotnika najbolje zaščiteno.

Title:ADHERANCE TO EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PREVENTIVE GUIDELINES BEFORE AND DURING TRAVELING TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES
Abstract:Introduction: More and more people travel. Improved travel infrastructure and progress in technology enable us to travel even in the most distant places, where health and hygiene are not high on priority list. To avoid diseases, that present us threat in unknown surroundings, and to protect one’s health, is important for traveller to know preventive measures. The aim of this research was to investigate, to what extent travellers adhere to preventive epidemiological measures before and during traveling to third world countries. The goal was to explore, what is the main source of travellers’ information when it comes to preventive epidemiological measures, which is the most common nonpharmacological and pharmacological measure that travellers adhere to, what are the reasons for not adhering to measures about immunisation and chemoprophylaxis and how many travellers get sick despite adhering to preventive measures. Method: The research was based on a quantitative research approach and a descriptive method of work. For the needs of the empirical work, collected and analysed data were obtained using the survey technique. The data was gathered with the help of an online tool 1ka and was analysed with methods of descriptive statistics. Results: Through research we gathered, that Internet is the main source of travellers’ information. The most common nonpharmacological measure is washing hands with water and soap, but not even half of respondents are making use of this measure on every occasion. The most common immunisation is against hepatitis A virus, every other traveller uses probiotics while travelling. Doubts about meaning and safety of immunisation is still present among people, with around tenth of respondents thinking immunisation is meaningless, because one can get ill even if one uses immunisation, and around tenth of respondents scared of side effects. Around 40 % of travellers still gets sick, despite adhering to epidemiological preventive measures. Discussion: Most of the travellers have good knowledge about preventive epidemiological measures, but only a smaller part of the travellers is strictly adhering to them. Most of travellers firstly looks up information on internet, that’s why public health Institutes should provide accuracy and promptness of this data. It is important to emphasize importance of pharmacological and nonpharmacological preventive measures and to educate travellers about right behaviour and correct use of medicine while travelling, for keeping the health of travellers.
