THE PERCEPTION OF VALUE OF HEALTH AND HEALTHY LIFE-STYLE BY THE FACULTY OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The article presents the results of medical sociological survey with purpose to study concepts and motivation attitudes of the faculty of medical universities in relation to healthy life-style and its components. The survey results demonstrated that in spite of rather wide-spread aspiration for preservation of one's own health (refusal of harmful habits, regular dispensarization, involvement into sport activities) a significant percentage of the faculty of medical university suffers from inadequate level of commitment to principles of healthy life-style. It is noted that implementation of healthy life-style is prevented besides working load and time deficiency, by number of such «anti-motives» as inner unreadiness and lower level of motivation to healthy life-style.
