Dietetics on Social Media - Netnographic Research of Instagram Stories on Healthy Eating
(2024-11-29) Horkai, Anita; Lehotai, Alexa Kata
Social media content on health and healthy eating and dietetics challenge users with a low health literacy index. There are often barriers to distinguishing who is a credible content producer and whose advice can be considered professionally relevant. In our research, we examine why the reach of social media content published by dietitians is lower than that of self-proclaimed advisors who appear to be experts. We analyzed the content of 14 Hungarian influencers in June, July, and August 2024 and tracked their follower numbers and reach using qualitative content analysis methods. We found that the reach and number of followers of influencers who are not distinct in terms of content credibility varies mainly as a function of daily activity. The more stories and posts influencers publish, the higher the rate of increase in their followers and reach of their content compared to those who rarely publish scientifically sound professionally valid content as registered dietitians. This means that the primary indicator of the credibility of the content that users seek on social media is the frequency of social media activity, the number of followers and likes, rather than the scientific, evidence-based validity of the content.

Introduction: The health and illness behavior of women and men is an important area of study in the sociology of health. Digital health solutions have an impact on these phenomena as well. Methods: Our research is based on 2 representative population-based questionnaire surveys, which were done in 2021 (n= 1500) and 2024 (n=1100) respectively. In our study we used descriptive methods to analyze online health-related information seeking behavior, digital health-related options and tools. Results: The results show that although women continue to make a higher use of some digital health solutions such as e-prescription and telemedicine, the gap between men and women has decreased in other areas such as transferring health data, while men took the lead in smart device use. Population data for 2024 indicate that the gap between men and women in the use of health information resources has also narrowed significantly. Summary: Our 2021 research shows a clear female dominance in both online health information searching and using digital solutions. By 2024, these differences have narrowed significantly, and digital health solutions have become part of everyday life. This is indicated by the almost 80% awareness and use of e-prescription, online appointment booking and EESZT.

Gondoskodási tőke, egészség-egyenlőtlenségek - a gondoskodás fogalom szerepe az egészség társadalmi determinánsainak elemzésében
(2024-11-29) Német, Erzsébet Anita; Nagy, Éva
Care is a key concept in different interpretations of health, illness and cure, and it has a major influence on various fields of research in medical and health sociology. Nevertheless it has yet to evolve into a well-established conceptual framework in these areas. Therefore in this paper we explore how care as a social determinant of health impacts health outcomes, and how concepts of social determinants of care enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and pathways. We place TEAM-ECD framework at the centre of our analysis, because care is conceived of neither as a factor of inequality its own right, nor as a source of health inequalities by other frameworks that are in use in this field. We aim to fill these gaps by incorporating few approaches of care inequalities into the above-mentioned framework for the social determinants of healthy early childhood development.

Társállatokkal kapcsolatos attitűdök és a mentális egészség összefüggése egy empirikus vizsgálat keretében
(2024-11-29) Pikó, Bettina; Palkovics, Éva
In our study, we examined the relationships between dealing with companion animals and mental health. The aim was to analyze associations of attitudes related to pets with life satisfaction, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. In our online, cross-sectional survey, 297 participants were included (89.5% females, aged between 18 and 85 years), the data were collected in the second half of the year 2023. The attitudes related to pets were measured by using the CENSHARE Pet Attachment Scale which involved eight factors using exploratory factor analysis. The attitudes of attachment and closeness showed a positive relationship with life satisfaction. Time spent with pets and dealing and communicating with them was negatively associated with life satisfaction and well-being, and positively with depression and anxiety. For those who are prone to depression and less satisfied with their life, dealing with pets may serve as a therapy, except for steming from hypocrisy.

Szeged Studies 2000 – 2024. Negyedszázadnyi városkutatás eredményeiből
(2025-08-01) Balogh, Péter; Bugyi, Anett; Fekete, Mariann; Nagy, Terézia; Rácz, Attila; Varga, Aron; Vincze, Anikó
The study presents the methodology of the Szeged Studies research series launched by the Department of Sociology of the University of Szeged in 2000 and the opinions of the city's residents on some key social phenomena. The representative survey research, carried out annually for 25 years, explores the social, environmental and security processes of the city in a multidisciplinary approach. The methodology is based on empirical data collection and field research based on face-to-face interviews and surveys (PAPI, CAPI), in which university students play an active role. In our study, we analyse changes in public trust, public safety, migration attitudes and environmental awareness in a longitudinal and cross-sectional approach. Our results show that over the past 25 years, the overall perception of security among the citizens of Szeged has improved, while concerns about climate change have increased. Overall, attitudes towards foreigners have moved towards acceptance, with fluctuations. Levels of trust in institutions are low, except among older and less educated groups, where they are higher. The aim of this series of studies is to explore the complex factors affecting the functioning of local society and to contribute to the practice-oriented development of sociology education.

Többszörös intelligenciavizsgálat a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem hallgatói körében
(2025-08-01) Dominek, Dalma Lilla; Barnucz, Nóra
Cognitive flexibility is one of the most important abilities that is a challenge of the 21st century, which can be achieved by developing creativity and intelligence (Spiro & Jehng 1990) or by applying the flow pedagogical model in the classroom. In the present study, we investigate the multiple intelligence levels of students at our university (N=5670; n=747). The focus of the research is to assess the students' multiple intelligence map and to examine its applicability in the classroom. The quantitative research was conducted in the academic year 2022/2023, for which the Gardner multiple intelligence test was adapted. Our hypothesis is that students' intelligence types are strong for the strength of the faculty, while the other intelligence types need improvement. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS statistical software with multivariate procedures including independent variables of gender, faculty and place of residence. The results showed a significant correlation between the faculty distribution of students and the variables under study. This supports the theory that cognitive flexibility can be enhanced primarily through the development of different types of intelligence.

Kényszeres vásárlók vásárlási szokásainak vizsgálata kvalitatív módszerrel
(2025-08-01) Kis, Evelin; Galán, Anita
Our study deals with the topic of compulsive shopping. In parallel with the spread of the Internet and the consumer society, the proportion of compulsive shoppers is also increasing. In our research, our goal was to explore the shopping habits of compulsive shoppers and the characteristics of problematic shopping using qualitative methods. We included six subjects in our study, who were considered compulsive shoppers based on the Shopping Behavior Questionnaire (QABB), and we reached them using the snowball method. We divided the presentation of the results into two parts. First, we deal with the shopping habits of compulsive shoppers, and then we examine some characteristics of shopping addiction in their case. During the examination of problematic shopping, we divided the respondents into three groups regarding the occurrence of financial problems, distinguishing between attentive, relapsed and resigned members.

A lakhatási mobilitás hatása hátrányos helyzetű családok életmódjára
(2025-08-01) Csekk, János; R. Fedor, Anita
In our research, we examined the impact of an integration program for catch-up purposes in a small settlement, which also provides housing mobility, on the lifestyle of the disadvantaged families affected by the intervention. During the interview research supplemented by document analysis, dimensions that determine lifestyle we were examined, such as the physical characteristics of the apartment, income situation, labor market situation, attitude to education, health status, and mental state. Based on the results, we found a positive correlation in several examined dimensions between the lifestyle change of the families involved in the research and moving out of the segregated area. At the same time, it can also be stated that housing mobility implemented within the framework of the catch-up project may not be able to have the expected effect and achieve the set goal in itself.

Az életminőség legfontosabb dimenzióinak változásai Nyíregyháza városában
(2025-08-01) R. Fedor, Anita; Fábián, Gergely; Szoboszlai, Katalin; Tóth, Anikó Panna
The Quality-of-Life Research Group of the University of Debrecen Faculty of Health Sciences has been examining various dimensions of the quality of life of the residents of Nyíregyháza through regular data surveys since 2008. The results from the most recent study completed in 2023/2024 focused on indicators that fundamentally determine the quality of life - economic activity and employment, income situation and income inequalities, housing conditions, social problems and support systems. This approach was taken because the research group interprets the quality of life as a complex concept and considers these indicators to be decisive from a sociological perspective. Even though the proportion of the employees is very high in the city, significant differences were found based upon education and the perception of working conditions. Employment is a determined factor in income and while the average income has increased in recent years, the values of income inequality indicators also show an increase. There has been improvement in housing both in quantity and quality for those living in privately owned apartments. On the other hand, those who do not have sufficient resources to purchase a home, have to face increasing rental prices and a decreasing number of municipal rental apartments. One out of five households have household expense burdened by debt. Regarding support systems, this research shows that the poor and the less educated have smaller and less resource-rich networks than those of the better-off and more educated. Material and relational exclusion are typically intertwined, which can further exacerbate the negative effects of social exclusion.

Innovative IT solutions in health and sport - the importance of wearable devices, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and Big Data
(2024-11-29) Tóth, Kitti
Healthcare faces a significant shortage of human and financial resources. One way to overcome this is to focus on preventive medicine, through the promotion of sport and the use of advanced IT (Information Technology) tools in healthcare. These tools include wearables, the IoT (Internet of Things), Big Data and AI (artificial intelligence). This narrative review article aims to present the current state of the art in the field to support the processing of literature at the beginning of new researches by reviewing the major literature focusing on three of the data management’s functions: data collection, storing and processing. To quantify the studies, queries were run on ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar databases. The keywords used in the queries were "Internet of Things", "Big Data", "Artificial intelligence" and "Wearable devices" complemented by the terms "health" and "sports" so a total of 8 queries were run on each database. We selected only scientific articles which contain concrete results, present ICT tools used in health or sport, and were fully available from our institution's network so we examined 35 articles. The results of the queries show that in most cases more than 50% of the literature was published since 2019, so the topic is currently a highly researched area. On average, 59.57% of all published works were published from 2019 in Science Direct, 74.49% in PubMed and 77.18% in Web of Science. The above-mentioned IT tools on health and sport is significant. Their importance is most notable in the advancement of preventive medicine and innovation in medical research.

Az ember- és természetközeli városoknak vannak Magyarországon történelmi gyökerei / Aspektusok és impressziók a városkutatás kapcsán
(2025-08-01) Láczay, Magdolna
Nowadays, the population is significant, the vast majority of the population of our continent lives in cities or in urban environments. Research into the concept, types and legal privileges of the city intensified in Hungary in the 20th century. Urban characteristics are addressed by several branches of social science, including geography, economics, administration, art, geography, and ethnography. An important challenge for today's urban researchers is the multidisciplinary research of the lifestyle of the population living in the city and its catchment area, as well as the examination of the domestic possibilities of urbanization. The study presents the Hungarian researchers of those historical disciplines who have scientifically explored domestic urban development in their works and contributed to the development of the possibilities of urban development. From the work of various research circles, we can learn about the Hungarian characteristics of the city and its environment, the urbanization of catchment areas, based on which today's settlement and social researchers try to present and forecast the current characteristics and expected tasks of the quality of life. Hungarian urban research is somewhat late compared to international research, which is also due to domestic history. Despite the delay, it proves that in our country, as in most of Europe, the historical roots are not in the construction of megacities, the construction of sky-high skyscrapers concentrated in relatively small areas, but rather in the territorial expansion of cities, the development of urbanization in agglomerations and various settlement forms.

Investigating Language Barriers in Public Healthcare Services: A Case Study of International Students in Budapest, Hungary
(2024-11-29) Namomsa, Gutama; Phyu, Aye Kyi
Language barriers in healthcare impact the cost and quality of services, affecting international students in Budapest, Hungary. The study explores challenges faced by international students in understanding medical advice within the public healthcare system and identify strategies to overcome these challenges. A qualitative approach involving eighteen international students from various universities in Budapest was used for data analysis. While most participants did not face urgent health issues, those with more severe conditions encountered significant language barriers, signage issues, and access delays. The primary challenge identified was the language barrier, which complicated communication with medical staff. Participants utilized technology like Google Translate, interpreters, and non-verbal communication to overcome language barriers. The study emphasizes the need for policies to enhance communication between healthcare providers and international students for equitable access to quality healthcare services.

(2024-11-29) Szűcs, Dóra; Mohácsi, Bernadett
Objective: To provide comprehensive knowledge of the factors behind abuse by parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Are children with ADHD are really at increased risk of child abuse? Is there a relationship between the onset of ADHD (hyperactive/impulsive-, attention deficit, combined) and the type of abuse? Does parental ADHD predispose to abuse? Finally, what are the long-term effects on a child with ADHD? Method: The study is following the PRISMA guidelines, 32 out of 683 studies were selected in the study sample. Result: The group of children with ADHD can indeed be identified as a risk group. The hyperactive type was associated with physical and emotional abuse and neglect of parental authority, attention deficit was associated with physical and sexual abuse, and custody and physical neglect. Parental ADHD has been identified as a risk factor, too. The long-term consequences were drug-use, in addition to the intensification of ADHD symptoms. Conclusion: We argue for the risk factor-reducing importance of parental education and psychological therapy.

Elterelésben résztvevők szerhasználati szokásai és motivációja kvalitatív vizsgálatok tükrében
(2024-11-29) Tompa, Andrea; Galán, Anita
The aim of our study to show the diversion system in Hungary and the motivation of clients who have been diverted. The institution of diversion was introduced in our country in 1993, which offers treatment to drug users instead of punishment in case of possession of a small amount of drugs. During our empirical investigations, our goal was to explore the substance use habits and motivation of diverted clients. For this purpose, we conducted semi-structured interviews with ten people starting diversion, which we supplemented with the inclusion of a diagnostic test for measuring motivation (URICA). The results of our research support the results of previous research on the topic, according to which the clients willingness to cooperate and motivation is low, which can thus lead to the ineffectiveness of the diversion.

Az oktatói személyiség sajátosságai a vasútszakmában
(2023-05-31) Farkas, Attila; Filep, Roland; Dajnoki, Krisztina
For decades, researchers and practitioners have been searching for the answer to the question, which is still relevant today, of what makes a teacher "good", that is, effective and efficient. The solution is also to be found in the instructor's personality. In the course of our research, we aimed to examine the personality of railway instructors. In addition to the analysis of general personality traits with the Big Five model, our sub-goals included the study of the instructor's assertiveness, basic attitude towards people, influence technique and conflict management method. We conducted our own research using a questionnaire method and widely used tools at four different organizations. Analysis of variance was used to examine differences between groups. Based on the results, the instructors have the right foundations to create a positive atmosphere. They are characterized by openness, friendliness and an above-average level of assertiveness, and Machiavellianism is present only to a small extent. In conflict management, compromise, problem solving and avoidance are the most typical styles. Based on the results, we recommend further increasing the level of openness and assertiveness, and instead of seeking compromises, we recommend the use of complex problem solving more often.

A brief comprehensive overview of surrogacy
(2023-05-31) Adaranijo, Temitope Emmanuel; Sárváry, Andrea Gabriella
Statistics situates infertility as a global health issue with about 48 million couples and 186 million individuals. The rate at which IVF and surrogacy arrangement have been engaged globally has raised alarm to scholars in medicine, sociology, law, social work, psychology, and religion among other fields. Improved methods and unarguable advantages of surrogacy particularly to couples in dire need of children has left even more questions unanswered. The focus of this research is placed on the interdisciplinary factors that influences the practice of surrogacy. Due to the paucity of data on the subject, a systematic review of relevant published articles dated until 2023 were engaged within survey design. This study argues that surrogacy is not welcomed in many societies, however, it is also clearly noted that it is currently practiced in several countries. Interdisciplinary collaboration has been situated within surrogacy practice, and the findings of this study is prominent for such.
