THE EVALUATION OF THE USE OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICES BY THE POPULATION IN THE DEJ-GHERLA AREA
Abstract:
Introduction: The current main problem in the health reform refers to the directions in which
the funds are directed. The tendency is that of reorientation towards preventive medicine, because
prophylaxis can diminish the costs of health. The present study aims at assessing the way in which
prevention programmes are currently used in Dej, Gherla and neighbouring communities. Material and
methods: A questionnaire that refers to the use of some preventive medical services has been applied on
387 persons in the studied area. Results and discussions: The study highlights the low use of prostate
cancer screening investigations for men, as well as the investigations for the early detection of cervical
and breast cancer for women. Also, a very low percentage of people have had the influenza vaccination.
Conclusions: The study shows an insufficient implementation of preventive medicine and its low
efficiency in the studied community.
