Název v původním jazyce

Disparities in Healthcare Access for Vulnerable Populations

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The work deals with contrasting the health economy and the health environment. Defines basic terminology such as vulnerable populations and vulnerability. The contribution aims to find out what relevant groups of people exist in the Czech Republic, to harmonize the definitions of the vulnerable population, and to find out what kind of access they have to health care. A total of ten endangered groups of persons relevant to the Czech Republic were identified. Although the Czech Republic has optimal healthcare facilities, we have identified problematic potential needs that different groups may have. We used a qualitative approach with a technique of content analysis and experts&apos; opinions. A literature review was collected from Web of Science and selected opinions were divided into three groups based on expert profiles and areas of their work (economics, sociology, healthcare) In the context of world literature, European countries have similar difficulties to the Czech Republic. It has been found that many people from the vulnerable group are afraid of seeking medical care because they believe that they will have high expenses for the subsequent treatment. Another reason may be the cultural context, different language, or specific needs of each community member. Founded groups were described and we also added other approaches (divided into 8 groups) to how we can view the vulnerability in the Czech Republic.
