Abstract

Abstract: The analysis of scientific publications of recent years made it possible to characterize the problematic field of the patient's culture, namely the low level of culture of knowledge and skills of health preservation and disease prevention, the low level of physical culture, the lack of self-preservation behavior skills. At the same time, there are very few scientific works devoted to the study of the culture of patients. The purpose of the study: to characterize the modern profile of patient culture. Research base: medical organizations of the Central Federal District of Russia. Time of the study 2021 Methods: sociological, analytical, documentary. The research program provided for the use of the survey method on the questionnaire "Patient Culture". The volume of the sample population amounted to 400 patients, including: 145 patients of oncological profile, 120 pediatric profile (children aged 14-17 years inclusive), 130 surgical profile. To establish the reliability of the difference in indicators in the comparison groups, the criterion t – Student was used. The differences between the groups were considered significant at p<0.05. Based on the data obtained, a set of proposals was developed to improve the culture of patients. The results of the study showed that the decrease in patient culture is mainly due to such parameters as sanitary culture by 46.7%, information culture by 40%, physical culture by 53.4%, culture of behavior by 30%. It is revealed that the low level of education and low standard of living negatively affects the level of realization of medical culture. An analysis of the cultural level of patients in the profile of care showed that the share of patients with a high level of culture was 34.3% for pediatric services, 44.5% for surgical services, and 24.5% for oncological care. It is proposed to monitor the state of patient culture at the individual, group and social levels, as well as to carry out its targeted correction.
