The aim of the study was the determination of main motives for non-utilization of medical services by persons with symptoms of angina pectoris. We found that in the representative sample (Lodz, Poland) 38% of them fail to seek medical services. Age, occupation, self-estimation of health, the presence of a trusted doctor and the opinion about medical staff determine the non-utilization of medical advice. However, no connection between sex, education, marital status and the use of medical services has been noticed. The results of the study point to the great value of the individual counselling by medical staff and the proper, friendly attitude towards patients, especially chronically ill.
该研究的目的是确定有心绞痛症状的人群不使用医疗服务的主要动机。我们发现，在具有代表性的样本（波兰罗兹）中，38%的此类人群未寻求医疗服务。年龄、职业、对健康的自我评估、是否有信任的医生以及对医务人员的看法决定了是否不寻求医疗建议。然而，未发现性别、教育程度、婚姻状况与医疗服务使用之间存在关联。研究结果表明医务人员进行个别咨询以及对患者，尤其是慢性病患者采取恰当、友好态度具有重要价值。
