Introduction: Slovakia is considered a country of origin for victims of human trafficking. The target destination for citizens of the Slovak Republic is mainly Western European countries. In the period from 2011 to 2014, 57% of IOM clients in Slovakia were assisted by victims of human trafficking in Great Britain. According to estimates, there are 30 to 40 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. Research aim and objectives: The aim of our research was to highlight the importance of preventive activities for young people in the field of human trafficking. The sub-goals were to determine the level of knowledge of secondary school and grammar school students in the Michalovce district from the points of view of completing preventive activities in the field of human trafficking, gender and type of school. Methods: To test the hypotheses, we used Pearson’s chisquare test of independence at a significance level of 0.05. Results: We discovered that differences in the level of knowledge exist among students who completed preventive activities and between men and women. No differences were found in the level of knowledge of human trafficking by school type. Conclusion: Our research shows the clear importance of carrying out preventive activities, which have their justification both in the area of prevention as well as in providing useful information and pitfalls that young people may face when traveling abroad for work.

Objective: Currently, health literacy is a hot topic worldwide. It is important for all age groups, for every individual and for society as a whole. Health literacy refers to the ability to obtain, understand and use information related to health and healthcare. The aim of the study was to identify problems related to health literacy that patients encounter in the context of their own healthcare and at the same time clarify the views of nurses on the education and health literacy of older patients. Design: Qualitative research using the technique of semi-structured interviews. Participants: Interviews were conducted with 10 senior healthcare workers (9 women, 1 man) from four healthcare facilities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The average age of the participants was 48 years (SD = 6.65, median 47, range 38 – 60). Methods: The method of content analysis was used to analyze the obtained data. The obtained data were processed based on the analysis using open and thematic coding and categorization. Results and conclusion: Barriers and strategies used by patients in managing their health were identified. These barriers and strategies were grouped into three themes and nine categories. Health literacy screening in a clinical care environment would not only be a beneficial tool in the care of elderly patients. Healthcare managers and senior healthcare workers should develop strategies to create environments and resources supportive of health literacy interventions.

Introduction: Managers in the field of healthcare face many challenges that are specific to this area and are caused by the dynamic and constantly changing healthcare environment. Research sample and research objective: The main research objective was to evaluate significant aspects of financing and organizing healthcare systems, summarize assumptions for the successful functioning of a healthcare system, assess factors influencing healthcare spending, and predict the challenges that healthcare managers will face in 2023 at both the micro (individual healthcare facilities) and macro (healthcare system in Slovakia) levels. The research sample was selected by deliberate selection and consisted of 109 respondents: healthcare managers (n=16), experts from the field of health management (n=15), experts from the field of human resources (n=19), directors of health facilities (n=10), medical (n=28) and paramedical staff (n=21). Methods: Statistical testing was carried out using the methods of inferential statistics: the independent samples t-test was used to compare mean scores between two groups (RQ1 and RQ2) and a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare mean scores among three groups (RQ 3). Results: We found out there are no differences in the respondents’ opinions on the challenges for healthcare managers in 2023 based on their job titles, the type of health facility in which they work or according to the length of practice. Conclusion: According to the respondents, the most current trends and challenges for Slovak healthcare are: the need for qualified medical personnel, a focus on retaining employees and solving the growing costs of healthcare.

Introduction: Diseases of civilization represent a group of diseases that have common risk factors as a result of long-term exposure to an unhealthy lifestyle, an unhealthy diet, smoking, a lack of physical activity and stress. Aim of the research: To find out whether random respondents who took part in the “Days of Health” event at the Bardejov Spa have basic knowledge about diseases of civilization. Based on the findings, draw recommendations for practice. Research sample group: 398 respondents: 305 women and 93 men. The average age of the respondents was 56.4 years (+-12.8 years). Methodology: On a voluntary and anonymous basis, the patients filled out a questionnaire focused on their knowledge about diseases of civilization. The questionnaire contained both closed and open questions. Results: The authors of the article analyzed respondents’ answers. The results were statistically processed. Conclusion: Our results show that there is a need for repeated interventions by health care workers (doctors, nurses) and public health workers to spread awareness about diseases of civilization and the possibility of their prevention. Increasing the level of health literacy is a good prerequisite for a healthier population.

Introduction: Internet addiction increased unnaturally after the Covid-19 pandemic due to the development of the global situation where online teaching became the preference. This was not only true in Slovakia, but around the world. Bullying happens in every school, and it goes hand in hand with cyberbullying. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate them with prevention. Research aim and objectives: In our research, we approached 158 second grade pupils from two primary schools. The aim of the research was to identify whether girls or boys spend more time on the Internet, how often they are online, whether they have encountered cyberbullying, and what kind of cyberbullying prevention has been implemented in elementary schools. Methods: In our research, we gathered information in the form of a self-constructed questionnaire. Results: Through our analysis we came to the conclusion that girls spend more time in the online space (53.16%) compared to boys. The occurrence of cyberbullying has increased in the recent period, which was also confirmed by 56.96% of respondents. The specific situations that we had the opportunity to encounter were solved by the primary school itself with the help of experts. Cyberbullying prevention alone is insufficient in primary schools, but it would be advisable to repeat it more often in order to eliminate bullying. Conclusion: Cyberbullying in primary schools is increasing with the development of information and communication technology. It is advisable to begin addressing the issue of the increased occurrence of cyberbullying at an earlier age and increase prevention. It is also advisable to increase media literacy in Slovakia.

Economic aspects of prevention refer to the costs and benefits associated with measures aimed at preventing various problems and risks. Prevention can include measures aimed at preventing disease, crime, harmful behavior, environmental problems and other areas. There are several important economic aspects of prevention: cost reduction, productivity gains, social and human benefits and long-term sustainability. It is important to realize that prevention requires initial investments and often its economic impact is not immediately visible. However, a long-term evaluation of costs and benefits shows that prevention can be an economically beneficial strategy that brings a large number of socioeconomic benefits for the individual and society as a whole.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the root cause of terrorism in Swat. It is a case study and qualitative research project. People of Swat suffered heavy human and material losses due to terrorism. The Taliban led by a local cleric; Maulana Fazlullah destroyed educational institutions, banned girls’ education, and watching television besides slaughtering innocent people. One of the causes of this phenomenon, was a constitutional crisis which prevailed in the region since the merger of Swat in 1969. Successive governments failed to integrate it in the national mainstream. On the contrary, authorities have used it as a laboratory for constitutional experiments-promoting discontent and denial of justice.
