Volontiranjem se doprinosi poboljšanju načina života, stječe se odgovornost te niz drugih vrijednosti. Bez prisile, slobodna volja i darivanje svog vremena predstavljaju glavne značajke volonterstva. Volontiranje nas uči komunikaciji i suradnji, za rad se ne očekuje nikakva nagrada ni pohvala, već je sam osjećaj zadovoljstva da si nekom pomogao dovoljna nagrada i plaća. Upoznavanje novih ljudi, stjecanje iskustva, osjećaji i razne potrebe potiču ljude na volontiranje. Svaka punoljetna osoba, kao i maloljetna s navršenih 15 godina, može biti volonter. Cilj rada je analiziranje teorijskog aspekta volontiranja te ispitivanja stavova i mišljenja o volonterstvu studenata zdravstvenog usmjerenja te provođenje opće usporedbe u odgovorima. Za potrebe ovog istraživanja kreiran je anketni upitnik proveden među 215 studenata zdravstvenih studija u Splitu i Varaždinu. U radu je korišten način tabelarnog prikazivanja kako bi se prezentirala struktura studenata, kao i stajališta studenata o volontiranju.
