Abstract Pojava i širenje zaraznih bolesti u današnje je vrijeme svedena na minimum zahvaljujući aktivnoj imunizaciji koja se provodi već dugi niz godina te u konačnici dobroj procijepljenosti stanovništva. Danas je cijepljenje protiv određenih zaraznih bolesti obavezno, a upravo to diže veliku pobunu među ljudima, preciznije, među roditeljima djece. Djeca osnovnoškolske dobi prema Zakonu o zaštiti pučanstva od zaraznih bolesti obavezna su cijepiti se protiv ospica, rubeole, zaušnjaka, difterije, tetanusa, dječje paralize i hepatitisa B. Roditelji su oni koji donose odluke o cijepljenju djece budući da ona prema zakonu nemaju pravo i nisu samostalna do svoje osamnaeste godine. Iz tog razloga, bitno je dodatno informirati roditelje o važnosti cijepljenja u životu ljudi, proširiti njihova znanja o cjepivima i zaraznim bolestima te na taj način ujedno i formirati pozitivne stavove prema samome cijepljenju. Cilj je ovog istraživanja ispitati znanja i stavove roditelja učenika osnovnoškolske dobi o cijepljenju djece te utvrditi procijepljenost učenika osnovnoškolske dobi, a dodatno i ukazati na ulogu učitelja u informiranju učenika i roditelja o zaraznim bolestima i cijepljenju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 50 roditelja učenika iz Osnovne škole Eugena Kumičića u Slatini. Metoda koja se koristila je anonimni anketni upitnik koji se sastojao od tri dijela od kojih je prvi dio ispitivao demografske i socioekonomske čimbenike, drugi dio stavove, a treći dio znanja roditelja o cijepljenju. Utvrđeno je da roditelji cijepe svoju djecu redovito prema Kalendaru kontinuiranog cijepljenja (100%) te da gotovo svi roditelji tvrde da bi cijepili svoje dijete i kada ono ne bi bila zakonska obveza (90%). Gotovo svi ispitanici slažu se da je cijepljenje jedna od najučinkovitijih javnozdravstvenih mjera (88%) te da su najviše informacija prikupili od zdravstvenih djelatnika. Istraživanja koja su provele Kulić i sur. (2019) te istraživanje u ovome radu potvrdila su postojanje pozitivnih stavova ispitanika prema cijepljenju. Ovo je istraživanje potvrdilo da znanja roditelja nisu na zadovoljavajućoj razini no bez obzira na to, procijepljenost djece je na visokoj razini.
Abstract (english) The occurence and the spread of infectious diseases nowadays is reduced to a minimum thanks to the active immunisation which has been conducted for years and thanks to good vaccination coverage between population. Today, vaccination against certain infectious diseases is obligatory and this is what causes rebellion between people, precisely, between parents. Based on the Law for protection of population against infectious diseases, children in primary school have to be vaccinated against measles, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, tetanus, polio and hepatitis B. Parents are the ones making decisions to vaccinate their children since, according to the law, children do not have the right and are not independent until they are eighteen years old. For this reason, it is important to further inform parents about the importance of vaccination in people's lives, to broaden their knowledge about vaccines and infectious diseases and in that way form positive attitudes towards vaccination itself. The objective of this research was to examine the knowledge about and attitudes towards vaccination of parents of primary school students and to identify vaccine coverage between primary school students. Furthermore, the research wanted to draw attention to the role of teachers in informing parents and students about infectious diseases and vaccination. Fifty parents of students in Primary school Eugena Kumičića in Slatina participated in the research. Method used was an anonymous survey questionnaire which consisted of three parts. First part of the research examined demographic and socioeconomic factors, the second part examined attitudes and the third part the parents' knowledge about vaccination. Research shows that parents vaccine their children regularly in accordance with the Continuous vaccination calendar (100%) and that almost all parents claim they would vaccine their children even if it was not their legal obligation (90%). Almost all of the participants agree with vaccination being one of the most effective public health measures (88%) and say that they collect most of the information from health care professionals. Research conducted by Kulić and co. (2019) and research from this thesis confirm the existence of positive attitudes towards vaccination between participants. This research confirms that regardless of parents' knowledge about vaccination being at an unsatisfactory level, vaccine coverage remains at a high level.
