2010
The family, as the basic social unit, has a decisive role in the health and
disease of its members. It is the primary unit where health needs are formed
and solved. By its own resources the family independently resolves about 75%
of the total health requirements. In the paper the authors study family
characteristics which influence family health and diseases, indicators of
family health and the scale of life values. Also, the study evaluates social
factors, communication and the influence of the usage of psychoactive
substances on family health and the quality of family life. To form the
personality of a child three factors are most significant: love, the feeling
of safety and the presence of harmonious relationship between the parents.
Life harmony in a family also depends on the quality of structural components
of the personality and the interaction of motivation of its members. Early
childhood determines the future personality of the adult person. At that
period, habits and partially attitudes are formed. In harmonious family
relationships the parents are the role model to children. Verbal and
non-verbal communication enrich the relationship among people and enable
efforts in supporting understanding, compassion and care for others by mutual
agreement. On the scale of life values of Serbian citizens health holds the
first position. Immediately following the health issue is good relationship
in the family. As healthcare is not only the task of healthcare services, but
also of each individual, family and the society as a whole, it is on
healthcare personnel to educate the citizens how to preserve and improve
their own health and the health of their family by a continual healthcare and
education. Above all, this concerns avoidance of bad habits, such as smoking,
immoderate alcohol consumption, narcotic abuse, physical inactivity,
hypercaloric nutrition, etc. Also, it is significant to make an early
recognition of disease symptoms and to turn for help to the chosen doctor on
time. Family medicine and family doctors can in the best way, entirely and
continually, prevent and treat numerous diseases occurring as the result of
family dysfunction, with active participation of each individual, family,
healthcare services and the community.
