| Sažetak | Virus SARS-CoV-2 prvi se put pojavio krajem 2019. godine u Wuhanu, Kini te se početkom
2020. godine proširio u Republiku Hrvatsku. Do danas je u Republici Hrvatskoj zabilježeno 1,27
milijuna zaraženih, sa najviše novozaraženih 26. siječnja 2022. godine, a u Republici Hrvatskoj
preminulo je više od 17 tisuća zaraženih. Koronavirus spada u red Nidovirales, te se sastoji od
strukturnih proteina S, N, M i E koji pomažu virusu da ulaze u tijelo domaćina. Postoji mnogo varijanta
koronavirusa, no najpoznatije su alfa, beta, gama, delta, lambda i omikron. U sklopu ovog zavšnog rada
provedeno je istraživanje u obliku anonimne ankete kako bi se usporedio utjecaj bolesti COVID-19
tijekom početka pandemije i krajem pandemije, te također kako bih usporedio sa rezultatima iz
inozemstva. Upitnik se sastojao od 20 pitanja koja su ispunjena od strane 107 anonimnih ispitanika
opće populacije, te je anketa bila otvorena 75 dana. Najviše ispitanika bilo je u dobi između 18 i 25
godina, a 72,9% njih iz ruralnog dijela Hrvatske. Najviša razina školovanja je bila srednja škola kod
64,5% ispitanika, a 56,1% ispitanika je zaposleno. U dvoje pitanja ispitali smo znanje ispitanika o
početku pandemije, te smo dobili zadovoljavajuće rezultate. Od 107 ispitanika, 66,4% je cijepljeno dok
samo 33,6% nije cijepljeno. Najviše cijepljenih ispitanika primilo je dvije doze. Kod mišljenja o
cjepivu, najviše ispitanika ne razmišlja o posljedicama cjepiva. S druge strane, više ispitanika misli da
cjepivo nije sigurno, nego što misle da je sigurno. Kada se pitalo ispitanike o stanju na početku
pandemije i na kraju pandemije, mnogo ispitanika je odgovorilo da COVID-19 nije imao veliki utjecaj
na svakodnevni život, ni na izolaciju, što možemo povezati sa tim da većina ispitanika živi na selu.
Kada uspoređujemo rezultate vlastitog istraživanja i istraživanje provedeno na većoj razini u Republici
Hrvatskoj „Kako smo?“, vidimo da COVID-19 nije imao veliki utjecaj na živote naših ispitanika. Kada
uspoređujemo rezultate osjećaja prema samom sebi, i trenutnog raspoloženja tijekom početka
pandemije i kraja pandemije, vidimo kako COVID-19 nije imao veliki utjecaj na psihološko zdravlje
naših ispitanika. Suprotno od ispitanika istraživanja provedeno u Njemačkoj i Egiptu. Prema
rezultatima vlastitog istraživanja, COVID-19 nije imao veliki utjecaj na naše živote i naše psihološko
zdravlje, suprotno od istraživanja nazivom „kako smo?“ koje je pokazalo da je COVID-19 imao više
utjecaja na mentalno zdravlje stanovnika Republike Hrvatske od ostalih država Europe. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | The SARS-CoV-2 virus first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, and spread to the Republic
of Croatia in early 2020. To date, there have been 1.27 million confirmed cases in the Republic of
Croatia, with the highest number of new infections recorded on January 26, 2022. More than 17,000
infected individuals have died in the Republic of Croatia. The coronavirus belongs to the Nidovirales
order and consists of structural proteins S, N, M, and E, which help the virus enter the host’s body.
There are many variants of the coronavirus, but the most well-known are alpha, beta, gamma, delta,
lambda, and omicron. As part of this thesis, a research study was conducted in the form of an
anonymous survey to compare the impact of the COVID-19 disease during the early and late stages of
the pandemic, as well as to compare the results with those from abroad. The survey consisted of 20
questions answered by 107 anonymous respondents from the general population, and it remained open
for 75 days. The majority of respondents were between 18 and 25 years old, with 72.9% residing in
rural areas of Croatia. The highest level of education among the respondents was high school for 64.5%,
and 56.1% of respondents were employed. In two questions, we examined the respondents' knowledge
about the beginning of the pandemic and obtained satisfactory results. Out of 107 respondents, 66.4%
were vaccinated, while only 33.6% were unvaccinated. The majority of vaccinated respondents
received two doses. Regarding the opinion about the vaccine, most respondents did not consider the
vaccine's consequences. On the other hand, more respondents believed that the vaccine is not safe
rather than believing it is safe. When asked about the situation at the beginning and end of the
pandemic, many respondents answered that COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on their daily
lives or isolation, which can be attributed to the majority of respondents living in rural areas. When
comparing the results of our own research with a study conducted on a larger scale in the Republic of
Croatia called 'Kako smo?' (‘How Are We?), we can see that COVID-19 did not have a significant
impact on the lives of our respondents. Similarly, when comparing the results of self-perception and
current mood during the beginning and end of the pandemic, we can see that COVID-19 did not have a
major impact on the psychological health of our respondents, contrary to the findings of studies
conducted in Germany and Egypt. According to the results of our own research, COVID-19 did not
have a significant impact on our lives and psychological well-being, in contrast to the 'Kako smo?'
study, which showed that COVID-19 had a greater impact on the mental health of the residents of the
Republic of Croatia compared to other European countries. |
