Abstract

Background. Currently, public associations have become an effective tool for involving civil society in the solution of socially important tasks and they are capable of providing support to the state in achieving priority goals in the field of public health. However, in modern conditions of civil society development, when rendering state support measures, non-profit organizations face barriers that impede the implementation of the assigned tasks, which determines the need to generate proposals for improving their activities.

The purpose of the study. To study the attitude of medical workers to public movements in the protection and promotion of public health in the Russian Federation, to identify current problems in the implementation of their activities as well as priority areas of work, to form recommendations for the development of public associations in order to improve the efficiency of the health system.

Materials and methods. The sociological study has been carried out by the questionnaire method on the basis of the public movement PEOPLE'S FRONT FOR RUSSIA, in which 24,907 medical workers from 85 subjects of the Russian Federation took part.

Results. Insufficient awareness of medical workers for activities of public movements in the field of public health and healthcare in the Russian Federation was revealed (25.5% of respondents do not know anything about such movements), about half of the respondents (43.4%) believe that their activities have a positive impact on the development of healthcare, one third of the respondents (34.9%) approve of their activities. About half (46.3%) noted that the greatest contribution to healthcare should be made by the state together with public movements, while it is necessary to enhance the control of citizens and their associations over the performance of their duties by the authorities (39.5%).

Conclusion. The efficiency of the activities of public associations and their development depends on political, economic and social factors. In order to increase the role of public associations in the protection and promotion of health, it is necessary to ensure more active engagement of citizens in their activities, for which it is required to increase public awareness about the main directions of their activities, legislatively expand their powers, increase state support, etc.
