Celem badan bylo poznanie opinii na temat zdrowia wlasnej rodziny wyrazanych przez wloskich i polskich uczniów i ustalenie, na ile wybrane cechy spoleczno-demograficzne oraz zachowania zdrowotne czlonków tych rodzin wiaza sie ze stosunkiem uczniów do zadania, jakim jest dbalosc o zdrowie przez cale zycie. Badano 175 uczniów (90 z Polski i 85 z Wloch (srednia wieku 16,95 lat). Zastosowano sondaz diagnostyczny z autorskim kwestionariuszem ankiety. Badania prowadzono w Polsce i Wloszech w okresie od marca 2014 do marca 2015 roku. Wyniki wskazuja na brak zwiazku miedzy wybranymi cechami rodzin a swiadomoscia zdrowotna uczniów.

Abstract For children family is a source of health; it meets their psychosocial needs and shapes their earliest habits, which later can turn into a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle. The objectives of the study was to identify the opinions of Italian and Polish students on their families' health and to determine the extent to which selected socio-demographic characteristics and health behaviour of the analysed families are related to the students' attitude towards the duty of caring for their health throughout their lives.The surveyed group included 175 students (90 from Poland and 85 from Italy (average age: 16.95 years). The diagnostic survey method was applied, with the use of a self-designed questionnaire. The surveys were carried out in Poland and Italy from March 2014 to March 2015. The results point to the lack of correlation between the selected characteristics of the analysed families and the students' health awareness. Italian parents, despite their higher education in comparison to Polish parents, more often smoke tobacco and are more frequently unable to assess their body weight. Their children substantially more often than their peers from Poland do not consider it necessary to care for their health throughout their lives. Polish parents, in spite of having lower education, less frequently smoke tobacco. Their children significantly more often than their Italian peers have an appropriate attitude to caring for their health. The obtained data show differences observed in both communities in the activity of schools in terms of prophylactic measures, which could fill the gaps in family health education. Key words: family's health, health behaviour, student.
