Uvod: Z vsakim letom se vse več študentov odloča za študij ali opravljanje strokovne prakse v tujini. Kljub visoki motiviranosti študenta študij v tujini predstavlja kulturni šok, ki lahko vpliva na psihofizično zdravje. Namen: Namen magistrskega dela je raziskati, koliko pozornosti namenjajo mednarodni študenti v Sloveniji ugotavljanju dostopnosti do zdravstvene oskrbe in zdravstvenemu zavarovanju, ko se odpravijo na študij v Slovenijo. Metode dela: Magistrsko delo temelji na dveh raziskavah, ki sta opravljeni z metodo spletnega anketiranja. Populacijo predstavljajo vsi mednarodni študenti, ki so v študijskem letu 2019/2020 in študijskem letu 2020/2021 vpisani na katero koli visokošolsko izobraževalno institucijo oziroma zavod v Sloveniji. Za obdelavo podatkov smo uporabili deskriptivno in inferenčno statistično analizo ter metodo analize vsebine. Za testiranje hipotez smo uporabili neparametrične statistične teste. Meja za statistično značilnost je bila postavljena na 0,05. Rezultati: V obdelavo podatkov so bili vključeni odgovori 1.689 mednarodnih študentov študijskega leta 2019/2020 in študijskega leta 2020/2021. Seznanjenost z zdravstvom Slovenije je ocenjena v povprečju kot slaba (xŻ = 2) do srednja (xŻ = 3). Statistično značilne razlike v stopnji seznanjenosti z zdravstvom nismo ugotovili med spoloma in načinom študija (p > 0,05). Zdravstveno zavarovanje je zelo pomembno za več kot polovico anketirancev (54,5 %), medtem ko je stopnja obveščenosti o zdravstvenih storitvah, ki so z zavarovanjem pokrite, slaba (xŻ = 2) do srednja (xŻ = 3). Statistično značilne razlike v stopnji obveščenosti o zdravstvenih storitvah nismo ugotovili med stopnjami študija (p > 0,05). Razprava in zaključek: Na podlagi pridobljenih rezultatov sklepamo, da je stopnja seznanjenosti veliko bolj odvisna od samega posameznika, prioritet in razlogov študiranja v drugi državi. Negativne posledice študija v Sloveniji se kažejo pri mednarodnih študentih predvsem na psihosocialnem zdravju. Na izpolnjevanje vprašalnikov in rezultate je vplivala pandemija covida-19, saj so bili mednarodni študenti zaradi spremljanja pouka po spletu iz domače države omejeni pri koriščenju zdravstvene oskrbe v Sloveniji. Mednarodni študenti se morajo zavedati pomena skrbi za lastno zdravje in jih je treba tudi spodbujati, da se posvetujejo z zdravstvenimi in drugimi inštitucijami, ko so v dvomih ali potrebujejo pomoč. Z dodatnimi raziskavami in na večjem vzorcu bi pridobili še boljši vpogled v temo zdravstvene oskrbe mednarodnih študentov in možnosti ukrepanja.

• Naslov: Health insurance and accessibility of healthcare services to international students in Slovenia : master thesis

Izvleček

Introduction: Every year, more and more students decide to study or undertake professional internships abroad. Despite high student motivation, studying abroad can represent a cultural shock that can affect psychophysical health. Purpose: The purpose of this master's thesis is to investigate how much attention international students in Slovenia pay to the accessibility of healthcare and health insurance when they come to study in Slovenia. Methods: The master's thesis is based on two surveys conducted using the online survey method. The population consists of all international students enrolled in any higher education institution or establishment in Slovenia during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic years. To process the data, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was used, as well as content analysis. Non-parametric statistical tests were used to test hypotheses. The significance level was set at 0,05. Results: A total of 1,689 international students from the academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 were included in the data analysis. Familiarity with Slovenia's healthcare system was rated on average as poor (x̄ = 2) to moderate (x̄ = 3). No significant difference in the level of familiarity with healthcare was found between genders or modes of study (p > 0.05). Health insurance was considered very important by more than half of the respondents (54.5 %), while the level of awareness of healthcare services covered by insurance was rated as poor (x̄ = 2) to moderate (x̄ = 3). No significant differences in the level of awareness of healthcare services were found between academic levels (p > 0.05). Discussion and conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it is concluded that the level of awareness is much more dependent on the individual, their priorities, and reasons for studying in another country. The negative consequences of studying in Slovenia are mainly reflected in the psychosocial health of international students. The entire COVID-19 pandemic has affected the completion of questionnaires and the results, as international students were limited in accessing healthcare in Slovenia due to attending classes online from their home country. International students need to be aware of the importance of taking care of their own health and should be encouraged to consult with healthcare and other institutions when in doubt or in need of assistance. Additional research and a larger sample size would provide a better insight into the topic of healthcare for international students and the possibilities of taking action.
