Background/Aim. As significant advances in cancer treatment have occurred over the past decades, the crucial questions in oncology nowadays are not related only to the treatment of the illness but also to the quality of life (QOL) of patients. The aim of our study was to explore which set of determinants (clinical, functional, affective, or social) has the greatest impact on explaining QOL in women who live with the diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods. The research was conducted on 64 women (with a mean age of 58.36 ± 11.30) while undergoing radiation therapy at the Oncology Institute of Vojvodina, Serbia. Quality of Life Instrument - Breast Cancer Patient Version (QOL-BC) questionnaire was used for evaluation of physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and general well-being, the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) was applied for the assessment of the upper extremity function, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 Items (DASS-21) was used for measuring symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, the Medical Outcomes Survey, Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) served for evaluation of social support; demographic and clinical data of patients were also collected. Results. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures [F(2.03, 127.80) = 20.24, p < 0.001] showed that in our sample, physical QOL was significantly better from all other domains, while social QOL was significantly lower from both physical and psychological aspect. A hierarchical regression analysis [F(8, 55) = 7.16, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.51] showed that patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy and experienced high levels of stress and poor social support usually had diminished general QOL. Introduction of affective-related variables [ΔR2 = 0.16, p(ΔF) < 0.01] and social support [ΔR2 = 0.05, p(ΔF) < 0.05] led to a significant increase in proportion of explained variance over and above the clinical and functional variables. Conclusion. Our results indicate that psychological and social resources are more important in predicting QOL compared to clinical and functional factors. At the same time, the social, psychological, and spiritual well-being of patients is significantly worse compared to the physical QOL, meaning that there is still much left to be done regarding the progress from a purely somatic to a holistic approach in the treatment of breast cancer.

Overall changes in political, social and economic spheres in Serbia, along with ongoing demographic processes, have affected various policies and all aspects of people’s lives, including system(s) of care. While care became an important analytical concept and category of social policy analysis internationally, it has not been systematically applied in the analysis of the Serbian welfare state. Incorporation of care in welfare state analysis is much needed as its organisation in the national context reveals a lot about the nature of the welfare state, changes in its socio-institutional arrangements and, most importantly, the effects of provision. This article thus aims to outline the evolution of childcare and eldercare policies in Serbia over the last decade, employing the concept of the care diamond developed by Shahra Razavi, which allows examining the “architecture” through which the care is provided: families/ households, markets, the state and the voluntary sector. By analysing the prevalent care policy “architecture” for children and the elderly in Serbia and the roles of different sectors in that respect, as well as by identifying similarities and differences in the provision of childcare and eldercare in the national context, the article exposes developments and current state in childcare and eldercare provision in Serbia. The analysis indicates the profound role of the informal sphere in both care systems in Serbia, childcare and eldercare. Some differences between the two care domains could also be noted. These relate to the configuration of welfare sectors involved in care provision, revealing the modified shape of the care diamond in the case of childcare. That is, while all four sectors are involved in providing care in the case of eldercare forming an eldercare diamond, this is not the case with childcare. In the latter case, the voluntary, nonprofit sector does not exist as a care provider in Serbia, with childcare “architecture” having a shape of a care triangle. In light of this evidence, the role of families and the voluntary, nonprofit sector should be taken into account in future planning and funding of policies as well as in their implementation.

Introduction: Due to the global crisis of 2008/2009, health professionals have become aware of the lack of resources in the health system when they were forced to allocate resources themselves during their daily work. However, it remains poorly researched how the global crisis accompanied by cost containment is reflected in the economic reasoning of health professionals. Aim : The aim of this study was to identify the dimensions of economic reasoning of health professionals who are subject to implicit influences. Methods: The academic study included a random sample of health professionals in the institutions of the Republic of Serbia, who voluntarily agreed to fill healthcare professionals’ economic reasoning questionnaire with nine items (HPER-9) which contains seven dimensions: the negligence of the cost of quality by the administration and financier; the consideration of the market price and healthcare benefit; market orientation considering patient’s requests the recognition of inadequate resource allocations by non-medical administrative authority; the attitude about redirecting the profit from state to private healthcare sector; the recognition of the unjustified spending by the healthcare professionals, and the physician / patient relationship. Respondents were divided into two groups according to the time of the survey. The first group of respondents was surveyed before the introduction of restrictive measures in the health system of the Republic of Serbia. The second group of respondents was surveyed after the implementation of restrictive measures due to the economic crisis. Results: Compared to the period before the introduction of economic restrictions, after their introduction, the score of the consideration of the market price and healthcare benefit as well as score of the physician / patient relationship remained unchanged, while scores of other dimensions have deteriorated. Conclusions: The negligence of quality costs of non-medical administrations, unjustified spending by healthcare professionals, the attitude about redirecting the profit from state to private healthcare sector but also the behavior of non-medical administrations, are important dimensions of economic judgment and behavior of health professionals under implicit economic influences.

The paper presents seven consecutive public opinion polls in Serbia (in the period 2000-2011) on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and its "partiality" towards Serbs. The author connected changes in attitudes of citizens during the observed years with the public statements of the "national leaders" about the Tribunal, as well as with the presentation of the facts of Serbian war crimes in Serbian media. Even though the observed correlation could not be interpreted in the terms of causal relation, the author pointed out to the importance of creators of the public opinion, and offered a possibility that the leading politicians and media in Serbia were not reactive to the attitudes of citizens (as they claimed) but vice versa - they created the public opinion of citizens by their statements or by presentation of the facts about Serbian war crimes.
