A563have regarding to the mineral waters/drinking water. Methods: The target group of our study was the 18 year old citizens of Pécs (N= 60) and Bátya (N= 60), in 2013. The quantitative study with self-edited questionnaires contained the following topics: socio-demographic data, water-consumption habits, knowledge about local mineral-and drinking water, experiences, mineral water purchasing and consuming habits, knowledge about the beneficial effects of mineral water on health. As a statistical method, we conducted an χ 2 test with a 95% percent of probability (p< 0,05), with the help of SPSS 20.0 software. Results: The Bátya population prefer "traditional" liquids to citizens of Pécs. Since inhabitants of Bátya consume significantly more likely soda everyday than citizens of Pécs (p= 0,025) but the same cannot be said for the consumption of syrups (p= 0,682). Also has been confirmed, that during the purchase of mineral water the observed population does not consider its mineral content, it is the taste and price that influence them, only after these they check the mineral content. Men have significantly more knowledge about the effects of mineral water on health (p= 0,047). Who have elementary qualifications were significantly more to give false answers which component should be taken into consideration in case of high blood pressure, whereas those who have a high school or higher education qualification were significantly more to know the right answer, the sodium. ConClusions: I had observed lack knowledge about the effects of mineral water on health, as well as about the quality of local drinking water. Drinking water suppliers and Policy Administration Services of Public Health should emphasize that in Hungary, in most cases, the quality of drinking water is appropriate.

Objectives: Due to the diversity in EU Member States' specific needs and legislation, the complexity of the health domain and the variable progress in IT-implementation there is currently limited standardization across registries and other eHealth tools. PARENT Joint Action (www. patientregistries. eu) aims at supporting the development of comparable and interoperable patient registries, thus enabling secondary data usage for public health and research purposes in a crossborder setting. As part of mapping the EU patient registry landscape, we undertook a survey of registry holders with the purpose of gathering information on current practices, as well as future needs and expectations with regard to IT-supported data exchange. MethOds: A survey of EU registry holders (n= 177) was conducted and data was collected via an online questionnaire. Gathered information defines additionally patient registry metadata and is part of the development process of the Registry of Registries (RoR) -an envisioned go-to source for up-to-date information about patient registry metadata across Europe. Results: We found a high degree of interest (82%) for participation in a single IT-enabled platform on the EU level, indicating IT tools, quality control systems and networking opportunities as the most potentially desirable services of such a system. The registries that indicated an interest to link their data to other data sources were more likely to have previously established standardized data exchange procedures and formats (Pearson χ 2 = 6.909, df= 1, p= 0.009). There were no statistically significant differences in presence of routine data exchange procedures among patient registries according to Registry type (condition-based, product-based or service-based), Geographical coverage and/ or Holding institution type. cOnclusiOns: Achieving patient registry interoperability requires a complex service-oriented approach taking into account the whole registry context (political, legal, organizational, semantic and technical levels). Our survey findings will serve more advanced in-depth assessments of registry quality dimensions to be performed through the PARENT Framework.

MethOds: Data were extracted from the administrative database of MLOZ. Information of specific reimbursed medications was used as proxy for diagnosis of 20 chronic diseases. We processed data of pharmaceutical consumption in the ambulatory sector (minimum 90 DDDs/year) to characterize the health status of patients. Results: The analysis included 1,962,526 affiliates.

High demands for speed and amount of students’ trainings in health care education are among the stress causes. Presence of stress can negatively affect the state of progress and level of physical health of medical students. We have tested 275 students of II-IV years of the medical faculty (145 women, 130 men) using methods of Friedman and Rosenman modifications «tendency to stress» and «self-rating of stress resistance». Test results revealed: 34% of women and 29% of men showed below average level self-rating of stress resistance, including the group tendency to stressful situations. Average level was characterized for 39% of women and 27% of men. This indicates the sufficient resistance to stress and rejection as failure stress. Higher average level of stress resistance was observed for 15% of women and 26% of men. These students, despite the negative influence of different factors, fight stress and try to prevent it. High aptitude was recorded for 11% of women and 7% of men. Relatively high frequency of getting into stress was inherent for 25% of women and 21% of men. Presence of stress and attempts to avoid it were found for 29% of women and 40% of men. For 22% of women and 26% of men was found the ability to resist stress due to communicability and harmonic lifestyles. High level of self-regulation, the ability to achieve goals as the result of low aptitude to stress was inherent for 10% of women and 7% of men. Reducing adaptation to stress among medical students was registered. Formation of skills for stress resistance by implementation of health-saving technologies in student lifestyle is necessary.
