Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to use a questionnaire to gather subjective information regarding health promotion and disease prevention in the Republic of Croatia. The research was conducted on a sample of 980 participants from the entire Republic of Croatia. A written questionnaire was used for the purpose of gath-ering information. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used for data analysis. Descriptive statistical indicators were determined for all research variables, based on participants’ responses, which were measured on a 5-point scale. Differences considered statistically significant were confirmed on the sig-nificance level of p < 0.05. Participants largely agree that they need additional information regarding health promotion and disease prevention. Approximately 81% of participants expect to be informed at family physician offices about activities related to health promotion and disease prevention, while almost 84% of participants mostly or completely agree that they are willing to receive magazines issued by a health institution. Furthermore, there is also a significant number of partici-pants who would respond to an invitation by a health institution into Health promotion counseling or disease prevention counseling and participate in pub-lic discussions on health promotion and disease prevention. Approximately 57% of participants agree with the statement that there is a form in which they can write their compliments, suggestion, complaints or remarks regarding health promotion and disease prevention, while slightly more than a fifth of participants fully or mostly disagree with that statement. The concept of health assumes a completely new dimension with citizen active participation. It emphasizes the positive potential abilities of individual and community too, via active creation of health policy, state their needs regarding health promotion, on whose path the health is quarantined as a basic human right.
