Factors and conditions affecting children's immunity - a survey among parents

The purpose of the study is to investigate parents' awareness of different methods of immunostimulation in children and their impact on the health status of their children. An anonimus survey was conducted among 353 parents of children in the age group 3 - 7 years, whose children attend kindergarten or preschool groups in primary school. The questionnaire was designed to identify factors influencing the development of immunity in preschool children based on their lifestyle and health status and the role of the parent regarding the development of immunity in their children. Adequate combined application of immunostimulating agents and methods, increasing the knowledge of parents regarding their application, the role of doctors, pharmacists and other medical specialists, the attitude of teachers or educators towards correct compliance with their application, are key moments for improving both general health and mental health status and the quality of life of the children.
