Cilj istraživanja: Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti stavove studenata medicine i dentalne medicine o cijepljenju protiv COVID-19 bolesti, utvrditi razlikuju li se stavovi studenata pretkliničkih i kliničkih godina studija, te studenta koji su preboljeli bolest COVID-19. Ispitanici i postupci: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje u svrhu ispitivanja stavova studenata medicine i dentalne medicine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu o cijepljenju protiv COVID-19 bolesti. Podaci su prikupljeni rješavanjem anketnog upitnika putem Google forms internetske aplikacije tijekom lipnja 2021. Upitnik se sastojao od ukupno 34. pitanja, uključujući peterostupanjsku Likertovu skalu koja je sadržavala 27 tvrdnji. Za analizu podataka korišten je statistički software MedCalc® Rezultati: Nije pronađena statistički značajna razlika između studenata pretkliničhih i kliničkih godina studija na osnovu općih stavova o cjepivima (P=0,113) ili stavova o COVID-19 cjepivima (P=0,236). Većina studenata (50,8%) smatra da su na fakultetu stekli dovoljno informacija o COVID-19 bolesti, te da se osjećaju sposobnim informirati populaciju o njoj. Procijepljenost studenata koji su preboljeli COVID-19 bolest je drastično niža od onih koji je nisu preboljeli (P, Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the differences in attitudes concerning vaccination against COVID-19 disease in medical and dental students, as well as to compare those attitudes between preclinical and clinical students. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the attitudes of medical and dental students toward vaccination against COVID-19 disease. The data was collected using a survey questionnaire via the Google forms online application during June of 2021. The questionnaire consisted of 34 questions total, including a five-point Likert scale that contained 27 statements. MedCalc® statistical software was used for data analysis. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between general attitudes of preclinical and clinical students towards vaccines (P = 0.113), nor attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines (P = 0.236). The majority of students (50.8%) believe that they have gained enough information about COVID-19 during their education, and that they feel able to inform the larger population about it. Vaccination of students who had COVID-19 was drastically lower than those who did not (P

Cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati stupnjeve izraženosti trenutačnih psihičkih simptoma u studenata medicine s obzirom na spol, godinu studija, obiteljske odnose i doživljena traumatska iskustva. Ispitanici i postupci: Ispitanici su bili studenti 1., 3. i 6. godine studija medicine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu. Ukupno je sudjelovalo 166 studenata. Etičko povjerenstvo Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu je odobrilo anonimni upitnik koji je bio temelj ovog istraživanja i sastojao se od dva dijela. Prvi dio obuhvaćao je pitanja koja su se odnosila na sociodemografska obilježja: dob, spol, godina studija, kvalitetu odnosa u obitelji, prijašnju psihološku pomoć i traumatska iskustva. Drugi dio upitnika bio je validirani upitnik BSI koji omogućuje kvantitativnu procjenu psihičkih tegoba. Rezultati: Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazali su da je stupanj izraženosti trenutačnih psihičkih simptoma somatizacije, osjetljivosti u međuljudskim odnosima, anksioznosti i fobičnosti, značajno izraženiji u studentica u odnosu na studente. Studenti na 3. godini studija imali su značajno viši stupanj izraženosti trenutačnih simptoma somatizacije, osjetljivosti u međuljudskim odnosima, depresije, anksioznosti, fobičnosti, paranoidnih ideja i psihoticizma u odnosu na studente 6.godine. Utvrđeno je da je stupanj izraženosti depresije i psihoticizma viši u studenata 1. godine u odnosu na studente 6. godine studija. Studenti medicine koji su imali dobre obiteljske odnose imali su značajno niži stupanj izraženosti psihičkih simptoma. Studenti koji su doživjeli traumatsko iskustvo imali su značajno viši stupanj izraženosti svih psihičkih simptoma, osim hostilnosti. Zaključci: Studentice su imale viši stupanj izraženosti trenutačnih psihičkih simptoma somatizacije, anksioznosti, osjetljivosti u međuljudskim odnosima i fobije. Studenti 3. godine studija imali su izraženiju većinu trenutačnih psihičkih simptoma u odnosu na studente 6. godine. U studenata na 1.godini studija bili su izraženiji samo simptomi depresije i psihoticizma. U studenata koji su imali dobre obiteljske odnose, pronađene su niže vrijednosti izraženosti svih psihičkih simptoma, dok su u studenata koji su bili izloženi nekom traumatskim iskustvom pronađeni viši stupnjevi izraženosti svih psihičkih simptoma, osim hostilnosti., Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the actual severity level of current psychological symptoms in medical students depending on gender, year of study, quality of family relationships and traumatic experiences. Subjects and methods: Participants were 1st, 3rd and 6th year medical students at the Medical Faculty of the University of Split. A total number of 166 students participated in particular research. The Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty in Split approved an anonymous questionnaire which formed the basis of this research that consisted of two parts. The first part covered questions related to socio-demographic characteristics: age, gender, year of study, quality of family relationships, previously asked psychological help and traumatic experiences. The second part of the questionnaire was a validated „BSI” questionnaire that allowed a quantitative assessment of mental disorders. Results: The results of this study showed that degree of expression of current psychological symptoms of somatization, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships, anxiety and phobia, is significantly higher in female students compared to their male counterparts. Students in the 3rd year of study had a significantly higher degree of current expression of symptoms of somatization, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, phobia, paranoid ideas and psychoticism compared to 6th year students. It was found that degree of expression of depression and psychoticism is higher in 1st year students compared to 6th year students. Medical students with healthy family relationships had less severe psychological symptoms. Students with a traumatic experience had a significantly higher expression of all psychological symptoms except hostility. Conclusion: Female students had higher levels of current psychological symptoms of somatization, anxiety, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships and phobias. Students of the 3rd year expressed majority of current mental symptoms compared to 6th year students. Only symptoms of depression and psychoticism were more expressed in the 1st year students. In students with healthy family relationships had lower expression of all psychological symptoms. Meanwhile, students who were exposed to some sort of traumatic experience, higher degrees of expression of all psychological symptoms were found, except for hostility.

Cilj istraživanja: Glavni cilj ovoga istraživanja je bio procijeniti stavove o utjecaju pandemije COVID-19 na nastavne aktivnosti i razine percipiranog stresa studenata završnih godina medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije na Medicinskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Splitu. Ispitanici i postupci: Istraživanje je provedeno na ukupno 140 studenata. Podaci su dobiveni putem anketnog upitnika uporabom aplikacije Google forms. Stavovi o utjecaju pandemije na nastavu ocijenjeni su putem 10 tvrdnji. Određivanje razina percipiranog stresa temeljilo se na PSS (engl. Percived Stress Scale) upitniku, a težina simptoma povezanih sa stresom po pitanju COVID-19 ocijenila se na temelju IES-COVID-19 (engl. Impact on Event Scale-COVID19) upitniku. Rezultati: Većina ispitanika je imala strah od manjka znanja uslijed nastave na daljinu i pandemije COVID-19 (68,6%). Također, većina ispitanika je bila slabije motivirana za učenje prilikom obavljanja nastave na daljinu (70,7%). Većina studenata je bila pod umjerenim razinama stresa ispitanim PSS upitnikom (61%), a među njima su studentice, u odnosu na studente imale statistički značajno viši PSS zbroj (P=0,016). Glavnina ispitanika je imala slabe traumtske simptome stresa ispitane IES-COVID-19 upitnikom (62%.), dok je manji dio imao umjerene traumatske simptome (28%), najmanji dio teške simptome (10%). Značajno viši IES-COVID-19 zbroj su imali studenti dentalne medicine i framacije nasuprot studenata medicine (P=0,006). Studenti koji su pokazali strah od manje količine znanja imali su statistički značajno više razine stresa (P, Objectives: The aim of this research was to assess attitudes about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on educational activities and perceived stress levels for medical, dental and pharmacy students attending final years at the University of Split, School of Medicine Subjects and Methods: The research was conducted on 140 students. Data was obtained through a survey questionnaire using the Google forms application. Students' views about the impact of the pandemic on schooling were assessed through a 10 item questionnaire. Perceived stress was determined based on the PSS score, and the severity of COVID-19 trauma-related symptoms was assessed based on the IES-COVID-19 score. Results: Most respondents feared a lack of knowledge due to distance learning and the effect of COVID-19 pandemic (68.6%). Also, the majority of respondents were less motivated to study while conducting distance learning (70.7%). Most students were under moderate stress levels (61%). Among them, female students had significantly higher PSS score than male students (P=0.016). The majority of respondents had mild distress (62%), while a smaller number had moderate distress (28%) and minimal number had severe distress (10%). Dental and pharmacy students had significantly higher IES-COVID-19 score than medical students (P=0.006). Students who showed fear for lack of knowledge perceived significantly higher stress levels (P

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare cognitive and psychomotor performance between men and women and to compare daytime sleepiness assessed with the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and Stanford sleepiness scale (SSS), subjective sleep quality assessed with Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and sleep habits between men and women. Furthermore, we investigated the association between cognitive and psychomotor performance on three tests of the computer based system Complex Reactionmeter Drenovac (CRD-series), and daytime sleepiness assessed and subjective sleep. Patients and methods: A total of 168 medical students from the University of Split School of Medicine were included in the research: 49 men with a median age of 20, ranging from 19 to 25, and 119 women with a median age of 21, ranging from 19 to 23. All students filled in the SSS, ESS, PSQI and sleep habits questionnaire. Afterwards the students performed three tests on the CRD-series battery (CRD11, CRD311, CRD411). Results: In the PSQI there was a statistically significant higher score in women (5.68±2.53) compared to men (4.80±2.14, P=0.023). The SSS score was also significantly higher in women in contrast to men (2.82±1.22 vs. 2.23±0.98, respectively, P=0.002). Women also stated to sleep shorter (6h35min ± 1h 8min) than men (6h 58min ± 58 min, P=0.024). Chronic tiredness was significantly more frequent among women than men (P=0.007). On the CRD11 test men had statistically significant shorter MinT and TTST (TTST 94.46±14.84 s and MinT 1.61±0.23 s) than women (TTST 105.82±17.78 s and MinT 1.78±0.28 s, P, Ciljevi: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usporediti kognitivne i psihomotoričke učinke muškaraca i žena te usporediti dnevnu pospanost procijenjenu s Epworthovom ljestvicom pospanosti (ESS) i Stanfordskom ljestvicom pospanosti (SSS), subjektivnu kvalitetu spavanja procijenjenu Pittsburgh upitnikom kvalitete spavanja (PSQI) i navike spavanja između muškaraca i žena. Nadalje, istražit ćemo povezanost kognitivnih i psihomotoričkih učinaka na tri testa sustava Complex Reactionmeter Drenovac (CRD-serija), te dnevne pospanosti i subjektivne kvalitete spavanja. Pacijenti i metode: U istraživanje je bilo uključeno ukupno 168 studenata medicine iz Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu i to 49 muškaraca sa srednjom dobi od 20 (raspon 19-25) i 119 žena srednje dobi od 21 (raspon 19-23) godina. Svi su studenti popunili SSS, ESS, PSQI i upitnik o navikama spavanja. Nakon toga studenti su riješili tri testa na CRD seriji (CRD11, CRD311, CRD411). Rezultati: U PSQI zabilježen je viši rezultat u žena (5,68±2,53) nego u muškaraca (4,80±2,14, P=0,023). SSS rezultat je također bio značajno viši u žena za razliku od muškaraca (2,82±1,22 naspram 2,23±0,98, odnosno P=0,002). Žene su također izjavile da spavaju kraće (6h35min ± 1h 8min) od muškaraca (6h 58min ± 58 min, P=0,024). Kronični umor bio je značajno češći u žena nego u muškaraca (P=0,007). Na CRD11 testu muškarci su imali značajno kraće MinT i TTST (TTST 94,46±14,84 s i MinT 1,61±0,23 s) od žena (TTST 105,82±17,78 s i MinT 1,78±0,28 s, P

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the correlations between IQ test scores performed through the Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) and cognitive testing through the Complex Reactionmeter Drenovac (CRD) test battery. Subjects and methods: From 2017-2019, 224 medical students at the University of Split School of Medicine (USSM) studying in the English and Croatian programme were recruited for this study. The IQ scores of the students were assessed using Raven’s APM where students had 30 minutes to complete 36 items of the abstract reasoning test. The computerised test of CRD-series was used for testing reaction times of light stimulus perception (CRD311), complex psychomotor limb coordination (CRD411) and solving simple arithmetic operations (CRD11). The total test solving time (TTST) and the minimum single task solving time (MinT), were analyzed. Results: On test of convergent thinking (CRD11), task solving times were shorter in students with a higher APM score (r = -0.48 for TTST and r = -0.44 for MinT; P < 0.001 for both tests. The light signal position discrimination test (CRD311) had shorter task solving times in correlation with a greater APM score (r = -0.30 for TTST and r = -0.33 for MinT, P < 0.001 for both variables). The test of operative thinking (CRD411) also demonstrated a negative correlation between task solving times and APM scores and with a higher APM score, task solving times were shorter (r = -0.40 for TTST and r = -0.30 for MinT, P < 0.001 for both). Men displayed a significantly shorter TTST than women on these tests; CRD11 (97.52 ± 18.82s vs. 107.69 ± 20.57s, P < 0.001), CRD311(27.13±2.17s vs. 28.13±2.46s, P = 0.002) and on CRD411 (26.93 ± 5.13s vs. 30.77±7.26s, P < 0.001). Conclusion: This study concludes that achieving a higher APM score is associated with a greater performance on the CRD-series tests, and therefore greater cognitive abilities for convergent thinking, operative thinking and speed of perception. Men overall also were slightly better than women on these tests., Ciljevi: Cilj ove studije je istražiti povezanost između inteligencije ispitane pomoću Ravenovih naprednih progresivnih matrica (APM) i kognitivnih sposobnosti ispitanih testovima Complex Reactionmeter Drenovac (CRD) serije. Materijali i metode: Od 2017. do 2019. godine u ovom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 224 studenta medicine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu koji studiraju na engleskom ili hrvatskom programu. Inteligencija studenata izmjerena je pomoću Ravenovih APM-a gdje su studenti tijekom 30 minuta rješavali 36 zadataka testa apstraktnog rasuđivanja. Kompjuterizirani test CRD serije korišten je za ispitivanje vremena reakcije prilikom percepcije svjetlosnih podražaja (CRD311), složene psihomotoričke koordinacije udova (CRD411) i rješavanja jednostavnih aritmetičkih operacija (CRD11). Od rezultata postignutim na testovima analizirani su ukupno vrijeme rješavanja testa (TTST) i najkraće vrijeme rješavanja jednog zadatka (MinT). Rezultati: Na testu konvergentnog mišljenja (CRD11) vrijeme rješavanja zadataka bilo je kraće u studenata s višim APM rezultatom (r = -0,48 za TTST i r = -0,44 za MinT; P

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes and beliefs of medical students in English and in Croatian, Dental medicine, and Pharmacy students at the University of s split school of medicine (USSM) in Split, Croatia and the extent to which the back pain myths were accepted. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst the student population enrolled at USSM. An online questionnaire was administered to 1,100 students in all academic years and was made accessible online between May-October 2020. Data were collected with consent, and participation was voluntary, anonymous, and without compensation. Results: A total of 311 students, out of 1,100 enrolled at the USSM participated in this study. The median age of the participants was 21.0 (18-32) years and student participants were between the age of 18 and 32 years. A minority of student respondents (26%) self-reported a personal experience with acute or chronic low back pain (LBP), and only 18% reported having sought the help of a healthcare professional for their symptoms. Overall, a higher proportion of medical students in Croatian and Pharmacy students (44% and 42% respectively) correctly rejected the back pain myths than did the medical students in English (40%) or Dental medicine students (37%). The majority of students across all study programs (54%) believed that backpain is disabling. The myth with the greatest difference in correct responses across study programs was that ‘there is no real treatment for back trouble’. Forty seven percent of medical students in English agreed with this statement, compared to 18% of medical students in Croatian, Dental medicine, and Pharmacy. A greater proportion of students endorsed alternative treatment regimen for back pain (26%) than they did a surgical approach (19%) or pharmacological approach (14%). Although we did observe differences between year of study, we did not find a correlation between years of training with the number of correct responses. Female respondents were more likely to reject bedrest as a treatment then males (50% female vs 39% male). Male respondents were more likely to reject alternative medicine (42% male vs 26% female) and a surgical approach (43% vs 31%) as the only way to treat back pain. Conclusion: This study confirmed that students at USSM do believe some of the back pain myths, though to a lesser degree than the general population based on data reported in the literature. Additional training regarding chronic pain and the introduction of the back pain myths into medical school curricula should be explored in order to foster the education of clinicians in order for students to endorse an evidence-based approach in their future clinical practice., Ciljevi: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati stavove i uvjerenja studenata medicine na engleskom i hrvatskom jeziku, dentalne medicine i farmacije na Medicinskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Splitu (MEFST) o križobolji i u kojoj mjeri vjeruju mitovima o križobolji. Materijali i metode: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje među studentskom populacijom MEFST-a. Online upitnik bio je dostupan između svibnja i listopada 2020. godine za 1100 studenata svih akademskih godina. Podaci su prikupljeni uz pristanak, a sudjelovanje je bilo dobrovoljno, anonimno i bez naknade. Rezultati: Ukupno 311 studenta sudjelovalo je u ovom istraživanju. Prosječna dob bila je 21 godinu (18-32), a studenti su bili u dobi između 18 i 32 godine. Manjina ispitanika (26%) prijavila je osobno iskustvo s akutnom ili kroničnom križoboljom, a samo 18% izjavilo je da je zatražilo liječničku pomoć. Veći udio studenata medicine u na hrvatskom jeziku i studenata farmacije (44% odnosno 42%) ispravno je odbacilo mitove o križobolji, u odnosu na studente medicine na engleskom (40%) ili dentalne medicine (37%). Većina studenata (54%) vjerovala je da križobolja onesposobljava pacijente. Mit s najvećom razlikom u točnim odgovorima na studijskim programima bio je da 'ne postoji pravi način liječenja križobolje. Četrdeset sedam posto studenata medicine na engleskom jeziku složilo se s ovom tvrdnjom, u usporedbi s 18% studenata medicine na hrvatskom jeziku, dentalne medicine i farmacije. Veći dio studenata prihvaća kao opciju alternativne načine liječenja križobolje (26%) nego kirurški pristup (19%) ili farmakološki pristup (14%). Iako smo uočili razlike između odgovora studenata različitih godina studija, nismo pronašli korelaciju između godina studiranja i broja točnih odgovora. Studentice u većem postotku odbacuju ležanje u krevetu kao tretman liječenja križobolje od studenata (50% u odnosu na 39%). Studenti su u većem postotku nego studentice odbacili alternativnu medicinu (42% i 26%) te kirurški pristup (43% i 31%) kao jedini način liječenja križobolje. Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje je potvrdilo da studenti MEFST-a vjeruju u neke od mitova o križobolji, iako u manjoj mjeri od opće populacije na temelju podataka iz literature. Potrebna je bolja edukacija o križobolji u nastavnim programima kako bi se potaknulo i usmjerilo studente na pristup križobolji i općenito medicini zasnovan na dokazima u svojoj budućoj kliničkoj praksi.

Cilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi znanje i stavove studenata medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije o farmakovigilanciji i prijavljivanju nuspojava, ispitati njihovu spremnost za prijavljivanje sumnje na nuspojavu lijeka u svojoj budućoj praksi. Materijal i metode: Ispitanici uključeni u ovo istraživanje bili su studenti medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije svih godina studija Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu u akademskoj godini 2020./2021. U istraživanju je korišten prevedeni anketni upitnik autora Alkayyal i suradnika. Anketni upitnik sastoji se od 34 pitanja podijeljenih u četiri dijela koja uključuju: demografske karakteristike, ispitivanje znanja i stavova o farmakovigilanciji i prijavljivanju nuspojava, pokrivenost teme farmakovigilancije nastavnim planom i programom te spremnost studenata za prijavljivanje nuspojava. Nakon prikupljanja podataka napravljena je statistička analiza gdje je razina statističke značajnosti postavljena na p, Objectives: The aim of this research is to establish the knowledge, attitude and readiness towards pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting among students of Medicine, Dental Medicine and Pharmacy. Materials and methods: The participants of this research were students of all years from the University of Split's programmes of Medicine, Dental Medicine and Pharmacy in the 2020/2021 academic year. A translated version of a poll questionnaire written and formed by Alkayyal et al. was used in this research. The poll questionnaire is consisted of 34 questions divided into 4 categories: demographical characteristics, examination of knowledge and attitudes towards pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting, opinions about coverage of the topic of pharmacovigilance in their curriculum and the willingness of students for ADR reporting. After the collection of data, a statistical analysis was performed in which the range of statistical significance was set as p

Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usporediti kognitivne i psihomotoričke sposobnosti između studenata dentalne medicine i medicine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu. Materijali i metode: Istraživanje je provedeno među studentima dentalne medicine i medicine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu tijekom druge i šeste godine studija. Za sudjelovanje u istraživanju pozvan je 81 student, od čega je sudjelovalo 79 studenata. Ukupno je bilo 39 studenata medicine i 40 studenata dentalne medicine. Ispitanici su rješavali tri testa na kompleksnom reakciometru Drenovac (CRD), test CRD 311 (test diskriminacije položaja svjetlosnog signala), test CRD 411 (test operativnog mišljenja) i test CRD 11 (test konvergentnog mišljenja). Dobiveni rezultati analizirani su pomoću parametra: ukupno vrijeme rješavanja testa (UKT), najkraće vrijeme rješavanja jednog zadatka (MinT) te broj pogrešaka na testu (BrPog). Rezultati: Od ukupno 79 studenata koji su sudjelovali u istraživanju bilo je 21 muškarac i 58 žena. Prosječna dob studenata bila je 24 godina (od 23 do 26 godina). Nije pronađena statistički značajna razlika u UKT, MinT i BrPog između studenata druge godine dentalne medicine i medicine na testovima CRD 11, CRD 311 i CRD 411 kao ni između studenata šeste godine dentalne medicine i medicine na testovima CRD 11, CRD 311 i CRD 411. Studenti dentalne medicine za vrijeme svoga fakultetskog obrazovanja postigli su značajno veći napredak u odnosu na studente medicine na testovima CRD 311 i CRD 411 u varijablama MinT i UKT. Promjena u MinT na testu CRD 311 u studenata dentalne medicine bila je 0,04  0,03 s, dok je u studenata medicine iznosila 0,01  0,0 s (P = 0,037). Također, studenti dentalne medicine imali su veću promjenu UKT u odnosu na studente medicine (1,6  0,34 s vs. 0,82  0,18 s, P = 0,005). Na testu CRD 411 studenti medicine na šeste godini studija nisu pokazali napredak u MinT u odnosu na rezultate mjerene na drugu godinu studija (-0,01  0,08 s), za razliku od studenta dentalne medicine u kojih je taj napredak bio statistički značajan (0,03  0,01 s, P = 0,034). Studenti dentalne medicine postigli su veću promjenu u UKT na testu CRD 411 u odnosu na studente medicine (5,03  1,88 s vs. 1,6  2,37 s, P = 0,016). Zaključak: Temeljem rezultata ovog istraživanja zaključeno je da studenti dentalne medicine i medicine imaju podjednake kognitivne i psihomotoričke sposobnosti na početku i na kraju studiranja. Studenti dentalne medicine na kraju svog studiranja imaju veći napredak u odnosu na studente medicine u ukupnom vremenu rješavanja testa i minimalnom vremenu rješavanja pojedinog zadatka na testovima diskriminacije položaja svjetlosnih signala i operativnog mišljenja., Objective: The objective of this study was to compare cognitive and psychomotor skills between dental and medical students at the University of Split School of Medicine. Matherials and Methods: The study was conducted among students of dental medicine and medicine at the University of Split School of Medicine, during the second and sixth year of study. There were 81 students invited to participate in this study, but only 79 were included. There were a total of 39 medical students and 40 dental students. Subjects completed three Complex Reactionmeter Drenovac (CRD) series tests, the CRD 311 test (light signal position discrimination test), the CRD 411 test (operational thinking test), and the CRD 11 test (convergent thinking test). The results obtained were analyzed using threee parameters: total test solving time (UKT), minimum single task solving time (MinT) and number of test errors (BrPog). Results: A total of 79 students participated in the study, of which 21 were men and 58 were women. The average age of the students was 24 years (from 23 to 26 years). There were no statistically significant differences in UKT, MinT, and BrPog between the second year dental and medical students on CRD 11, CRD 311 and CRD 411 tests, nor between the sixth year dental and medical students on CRD 11, CRD 311 and CRD 411 tests. Dental students have made significantly greater progress during their college education than medical students on CRD 311 and CRD 411 tests in the MinT and UKT variables. The change in MinT on the CRD 311 test in dental students was 0.04  0.03 s, while in medical students it was 0.01  0.0 s (P = 0.037). Also, dental students had a greater change in UKT compared to medical students (1.6  0.34 s vs. 0.82  0.18 s, P = 0.005). In the CRD 411 test, medical students at sixth year did not show an improvement in MinT compared to second year students (−0.01  0.08 s), unlike dental students whose progress was statistically significant (0.03  0.01 s, P = 0.034). Dental students achieved a greater change in UKT on the CRD 411 test compared to medical students as well (5.03  1.88 s vs. 1.6  2.37 s, P = 0.016). Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, it was concluded that dental students showed better progress in cognitive and psychomotor skills compared to medical students assessed with CRD series tests. They showed better progress in total test solving time and minimum single task solving time on light signal position discrimination test and operational thinking tests, which can be crucial in their professional clinical achievements.

Cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja je bio ispitati navike studenata svih studijskih programa i godina Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu i preddiplomskih studenata prvih triju godina Ekonomskog fakulteta u Splitu 2017./2018., s posebnim naglaskom na povezanost između mediteranske prehrane i navika spavanja. Materijali i metode: U ovo presječno istraživanje uključeni su studenti medicine na hrvatskom jeziku (N=437), studenti medicine na engleskom jeziku (N=141), dentalne medicine (N=172) i farmacije (N=130). Na Ekonomskom fakultetu su uključeni preddiplomski studenti prve tri godine studija (N=152) kao kontrolna skupina ispitanika. Ukupni uzorak sačinjavalo je 1032 studenata, koji su uključeni u istraživanje tijekom svibnja i lipnja 2018. godine. Upitnik se sastojao od nekoliko podskupina pitanja: akademski uspjeh (prosjek ocjena), tjelesna visina i masa, navike pušenja, navike spavanja i navike prehrane. U analizi je korišten ꭓ² test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test i Spearmanov test korelacije. Rezultati: Studenti medicine se izdvajaju po prosječno najkraćem trajanju spavanja tijekom radnog dijela tjedna (6,8 h). Studenti svih studijskih programa imaju podjednako prosječno trajanje spavanja tijekom slobodnog dijela tjedna. Postoji statistički značajna razlika u trajanju spavanja tijekom slobodnih dana između studenata i studentica (P=0,001), pri čemu studentice prosječno duže spavaju (9,0 h). U ovom istraživanju smo pokazali da se tek 10,5% studenata pridržavalo mediteranske prehrane. Nije zabilježena značajna razlika u pridržavanju mediteranske prehrane s obzirom na spol. Zabilježena je statistički značajna negativna korelacija između razine pridržavanja mediteranske prehrane i trajanja spavanja tijekom slobodnih dana (P, Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between sleeping and dietary habits of students at the University of Split. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study we included medical students (N=437), medical students studying in English (N=141), dental medicine (N=172) and pharmacy students (N=130). From the Faculty of Economics, undergraduate students of the first three study years were included as a control group of respondents (N=152). The total sample consisted of 1032 students, who were involved in the study during May and June 2018. The questionnaire consisted of several subgroups of questions: academic achievement (GPA), height and weight, smoking habits, sleeping habits and dietary habits. We used ꭓ² test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman's correlation test in data analysis. Results: The Medical students reported on average the shortest sleeping time during working days (6.8 h). Students in all study programs reported the same average sleeping duration during free part of the week. There was a statistically significant difference in sleeping duration during free days between genders (P = 0.001), and female students on average sleep longer (9.0 h). In this study we have showed that only 10.5% of students followed the recommendations for Mediterranean diet with no difference according to gender. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between Mediterranean Diet Serving Score and sleep duration during free days (P

Cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost između tjelesne aktivnosti i razine općeg stresa u studenata medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu. Materijali i metode: Presječno istraživanje obuhvatilo je 902 studenta Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Split, s visokim postotkom odaziva od 79,7%. U istraživanje su uključeni studenti medicine na hrvatskom jeziku (N=380), studenti medicine na engleskom jeziku (N=123), studenti dentalne medicine (N=161) i studenti farmacije (N=106) tijekom svibnja i lipnja 2018. godine. Kako bismo ispitali tjelesnu aktivnost studenata, koristili smo Međunarodni upitnik o tjelesnoj aktivnosti, kratku verziju (engl. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form, IPAQ-SF). Pitanja su se odnosila na tjelesnu aktivnost u posljednjih 7 dana u trajanju od najmanje 10 minuta, a cilj je bio procijeniti intenzivnu tjelesnu aktivnost, umjerenu tjelesnu aktivnost i hodanje. Za procjenu razine stresa koristili smo PSS upitnik (Perceived Stress Scale). Upitnik se sastoji od 10 pitanja i ispituju se osjećaji i misli ispitanika u posljednjih mjesec dana. Ispitanici su podijeljeni u skupine prema studijskom programu (medicina na hrvatskom jeziku, medicina na engleskom jeziku, dentalna medicina i farmacija), spolu (studenti i studentice) i prema godinama studija (pretkliničke i kliničke studijske godine). U analizi podataka korišten je hi-kvadrat test, Mann-Whitney U test i Kruskal-Wallis test te Spearman-ov test korelacije. Rezultati: Studenti koji su imali visoku razinu tjelesne aktivnosti imali su nižu razinu doživljenog stresa (69% nasuprot 51% u studenata s niskom razinom tjelesne aktivnosti). Statistički značajna negativna korelacija dobivena je za razinu percepcije stresa i MET-minute intenzivne (r=-0,144, P, Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the association between physical activity and the level of general stress in medical students, dental medicine and pharmacy students at the University of Split, School of Medicine. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 902 students at the University of Split Medical School, with a high response rate (79.7%). The study included 380 medical students in Croatian studies, 123 medical students in English studies, 161 dental medicine students and 106 pharmacy students during May and June 2018. In order to examine the physical activity of students, we used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF). The questions related to physical activity in the last 7 days lasting for at least 10 minutes, separately assessing intense level of physical activity, moderate physical activity and walking. To assess stress levels, we used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 10 questions and examines the feelings and thoughts in the last month. Subjects were divided into groups according to the study program (medicine in Croatian language, English medicine, dental medicine and pharmacy), sex and years of study (pre-clinical and clinical studies). We used chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's correlation test in data analysis. Results: Students with a high level of physical activity more frequently reported lower level of stress (69% vs. 51% in low-level physical activity students). Statistically significant negative correlation was obtained for the level of stress perception and the MET-minutes for intensive physical activity (r=-0.144, P

CILJ ISTRAŽIVANJA: Glavni cilj istraživanja je bio odrediti stavove i znanja studenata medicine o HPV infekciji i cijepljenju te uvrditi njihovu povezanost s spolom,godinom studija te studijskim programom (engleski ili hrvatski studij medicine). ISPITANICI I METODE: Diplomski rad je temeljen na anonimnoj i dobrovoljnoj anketi koja je provedena među studentima medicine Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu. Napravljen je upitnik odobren od strane Etičkog povjerenstva Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu koji je distribuiran radi boljeg odaziva u papirnatom obliku te internetski putem upitnika napravljenog u programu Google Forms. Ispitanici su svi studenti medicine. Upitnik je ispunilo 492 studenta medicine (59.7%) od ukupnog broja studenata medicine (n=824). REZULTATI: Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da većina studenata medicine nije cijepljena (69,1%) Veću procijepljenost protiv HPV-a imaju djevojke (37%) i studenti engleskog programa studija medicine (52,3%). Istraživanje je pokazalo da studenti imaju izrazito pozitivne stavove prema cijepljenju protiv HPV-a što pokazuje podatak da skoro 90% studenata medicine bi preporučilo cijepljenje svojoj kćeri. Studenti su pokazali da imaju nedovoljno znanja o HPV infekciji i cijepljenju te da stariji studenti i studenti hrvatskog programa studija medicine imaju bolje znanje. Glavni izvor informacija (49,2%) za studente medicine o HPV infekciji i cijepljenju predstavlja internet. ZAKLJUČCI: Studenti medicine u Splitu imaju pozitivne stavove o cijepljenju protiv HPV-a što je važno za njihovu buduću ulogu liječnika. Provedeno istraživanje ukazuje na potrebu izmjene Nastavnog plana studija medicine i bolju edukaciju studenata o HPV infekciji i cijepljenju., OBJECTIVES: The main aim of this research was to determine the attitudes and knowledge of medical students about HPV infection and vaccination and to determine their association with gender, year of study and study program (English or Croatian Medicine Study). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The graduate thesis is based on an anonymous and voluntary survey conducted among students of medicine at the Faculty of Medicine in Split. A questionnaire approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical School in Split,was distributed for better responsiveness in paper form and online via a questionnaire made in Google Forms. The sample was made on the basis of the total number of students (n = 824), of which 492 students (59.7%) completed the survey. RESULTS: Results of the research show that most of the medical students have not been vaccinated (69.1%). Girls (37%) and students of English program of medicine studies (52.3%) are more vaccinated against HPV. Research has shown that students have very positive attitudes towards HPV vaccination, indicating that almost 90% of medical students would recommend vaccination to their daughter. Students have shown insufficient knowledge about HPV infection and vaccination and that older students and students of the Croatian program of medicine studies have better knowledge. The main source of information (49.2%) for HPV infection and vaccination is the Internet. CONCLUSION: Medical students in Split have positive attitudes about HPV vaccination, which is important for their future role as docotors. The conducted research suggests the need to change the curriculum of medicine studies and to improve education¨of students on HPV infection and vaccination.

Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati prisutnost sindroma sagorijevanja te radni i društveni angažman studenata na Medicinskom fakultetu u Splitu na studijskim programima medicine, medicine na engleskom jeziku, dentalne medicine i farmacije. Materijali i metode: U ovom radu napravljeno je transverzalno istraživanje metodom upitnika. Upitnik je bio u potpunosti anoniman i podijeljen je studentima studijskih programa koji su pohađali nastavu u travnju, svibnju i lipnju 2019. godine. Podaci su obrađeni u programu Microsoft Office Excel 2016 i JASP 0.9.2.0. Napravljena je deskriptivna analiza uzoraka, a rezultati su prikazani u postocima, te kao medijan ili srednja vrijednost ± standardna devijacija (SD) za kontinuirane varijable. Neparametrijski χ 2 test je korišten za procjenu razlike između skupina i korelaciju između varijabli. Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 938 studenata. Sa tvrdnjama o emocionalnoj iscrpljenosti najviše se slažu studenti farmacije (61%), a najmanje studenti medicine na engleskom jeziku, svega 38,8%. Dvije petine studenata medicine, dentalne medicine i farmacije pokazali su znakove cinizma i manjka entuzijazma, za razliku od svega jedne petine studenata medicine na engleskom jeziku. Postoje značajne razlike među studentima različitih godina na studiju dentalne medicine u vezi ispunjavanja očekivanja na fakultetu. U kategoriji predanosti prema fakultetu, studenti medicine na engleskom jeziku pokazuju najveće slaganje sa tvrdnjama. Najviše volontiraju studenti farmacije, te postotak raste prema višim godinama studija. Gotovo polovica studenata redovito vježba, i to više studenti nego studentice. Vremena za studentske poslove najviše imaju studenti dentalne medicine, a sveukupno češće rade studenti viših godina. Gotovo dvije trećine studenata bi voljelo da imaju na fakultetu osobu kojoj se mogu obratiti u vezi emocionalnih poteškoća tijekom studija. Zaključak: Emocionalna iscrpljenost i cinizam prisutni su među studentima, sa većom pojavnosti na studijima medicine, farmacije i dentalne medicine nego na studiju medicine na engleskom jeziku, a cinizam studenata povećavao se prema višim godinama studija. Za budućnost nakon završetka fakulteta najveću zabrinutost su pokazali studenti medicine i dentalne medicine i u značajnoj većoj mjeri kod studentica u odnosu na studente. Akademska efikasnost nije narušena među ispitanim studentima, ali je predanost i energija uložena za studiranje ipak u većoj mjeri smanjena. Studenti medicine na engleskom jeziku pokazali su visoku razinu i akademske efikasnosti i predanosti te energije prema obvezama na fakultetu., Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the presence of burnout syndrome along with work and social engagement of students attending the study programs of medicine, medicine in English, dental medicine and pharmacy at University of Split School of Medicine. Material and Methods: A transversal study was conducted using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was anonymous and distributed to students at University of Split School of Medicine who attended classes in April, May and June of 2019. The data were analyzed in Microsoft Office Excel 2016 and JASP 0.9.2.0. Descriptive analysis was performed, and the results are presented in percentages, and median or mean ± standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables. Non-parametric χ 2 test was used to estimate the difference between the groups and the correlation between the variables. Results: 938 students participated in the study. Emotional exhaustion was mostly seen in pharmacy students (61%), the least in medical studies in English students, 38.8%. Two-fifths of medical, dental and pharmacy students have shown signs of cynicism and lack of enthusiasm, as opposed to just one fifth of medical studies in English students. There are significant differences between students of different years in dental medicine regarding meeting their expectations at the studies. Students of medicine in English showed the greatest consistency with the statements on devotion to their studies. Pharmacy students volunteer in highest percentage, with percentage growing toward the higher years of study. Almost half of the students exercise regularly, more male than female students. Dental students have the most time for working, and students are more often employed in their final study years. Almost two-thirds of students would like to have a person at their studies to address with their emotional difficulties during their studies. Conclusion: Emotional exhaustion and cynicism are present among the students, with a greater presence in medical, dental, and pharmacy students than with studies in English students, and cynicism has increased towards higher years of study. For their future after graduation, the biggest concerns were seen in medical and dental students, significantly higher in female compared to male students. Academic efficiency is present among the students, but devotion and energy invested in studying have been greatly reduced. Medical students in English have demonstrated a high level of academic effectiveness and commitment along with the energy for their study responsibilities.

Cilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi postoji li povezanost između kognitivnih i psihomotornih sposobnosti ispitanih testovima CRD serije i akademskog uspjeha u studenata medicine, te procijeniti razlike u akademskom uspjehu i kognitivnim sposobnostima muškaraca i žena. Materijali i metode: U ovom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 270 ispitanika, 89 muškaraca i 181 žena, dobi između 20 i 25 godina. Ispitanici su rješavali tri reprezentativna testa CRD serije koji se temelje na kronometriji, i to od najjednostavnijih do najsloženijih: CRD311 (test diskriminacije položaja svjetlosnog signala), CRD411 (test kompleksne psihomotorne koordinacije) i CRD11 (test rješavanja jednostavnih aritmetičkih operacija). Od rezultata postignutim na testovima analizirani su ukupno vrijeme rješavanja testa (UKT), najkraće vrijeme rješavanja jednog zadatka (MinT), medijan vremena za rješavanje zadataka (MedT), ukupni balast (UB), početni balast (SB; izgubljeno vrijeme u prvoj polovici testa), završni balast (EB; izgubljeno vrijeme u drugoj polovici testa), te broj pogrešaka na testu (BrPog). Ispisi ocjena temeljem kojih je računat akademski uspjeh studenata prikupljeni su iz studentske referade. Rezultati: Postoji korelacija između akademskog uspjeha i rezultata postignutih na testu CRD11 na način da je bolji akademski uspjeh povezan s kraćim UKT-om (r = -0,13, P = 0,037), kraćim izgubljenim vremenom tijekom rješavanja testa (UB: r = -0,15, P = 0,017 i SB: r = -0,16, P = 0,011) i manjim BrPog-a (r = -0,2, P = 0,001). Na testu CRD411, postojala je statistički značajna pozitivna korelacija između akademskog uspjeha i MinT-a (r = 0,13, P = 0,026). Muškarci su imali bolje rezultate na svim korištenim testovima CRD serije: bili su brži i manje su vremena gubili tijekom rješavanja testova, te su imali manje pogrešaka. S druge strane, žene su imale bolji sveukupni prosjek ocjena na kraju studija nego muškarci (4,20 ± 0,33 s vs. 4,11 ± 0,35 s, P = 0,047), te bolje akademske uspjehe u ukupno 2 pretklinička i 13 kliničkih predmeta. Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje pokazalo je da postoji povezanost između akademskog uspjeha i kognitivnih sposobnosti studenata medicine. Studenti koji su imali veću mentalnu izdržljivost, veću stabilnost i bolju pozornost tijekom rješavanja zadataka testa CRD11, koji mjeri konvergentno razmišljanje i opću sposobnost djelovanja u problemskim situacijama, su imali bolji akademski uspjeh., Objective: The objective of this study was to examine correlation between cognitive and psychomotor performance on CRD test series and academic ahievement in medical students, as well as, to assess differences in academic achievement and cognitive abilities between men and women. Material and methods: In this research there were 270 subjects, of which 89 men and 181 women, 20 to 25 years old. The subjects solved three representative tests of the CRD series, from the simplest to the most complex: CRD311 (light signal location discrimination test), CRD411 (complex psychomotor coordination test) and CRD11 (test of solving simple arithmetic operations). Analyzed variables were total test solving time (UKT), shortest time for solving a single task (MinT), median of test solving time (MedT), total ballast (UB), starting ballast (SB; time lost during the first half of the test), ending ballast (EB; time lost during the secod half of the test) and number of errors (BrPog). The data of students' academic achievement were collected from the student office. Results: There was a correlation between academic achievement and the results achieved on CRD11 test, showing that higher academic acchievement is correlated to shorter UKT (r = -0.13, P = 0.037), shorter time lost during test solving (UB: r = -0.15, P = 0.017 and SB: r = -0.16, P = 0.011), and less BrPog (r = -0.2, P = 0.001). In the CRD411 test, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between academic achievement and MinT (r = 0.13, P = 0.026). Men achieved better results on all CRD tests: they were faster and they lost less time during test solving, and had less mistakes. On the other hand, women had better overall grade upon finishing the medical school then men (4.20 ± 0.33 s vs. 4.11 ± 0.35 s, P = 0.047), and better academic achievement in 2 preclinical and 13 clinical courses. Conclusion: This study showed that there is a connection between academic achievement and cognitive abilities in medical students. Students that had better mental endurance, more stability and better attention during solving CRD11 test, that measures convergent thinking and general ability to act in problem situations, had better academic achievement.
