Abstract

Autorica u radu provodi analizu uvjerenja aktera u politici pristupa studenata zdravstvenoj zaštiti. Dosad se ovoj politici nije pristupilo s politološke perspektive. Kao teorijski okvir, autorica odabire teoriju zagovaračkih koalicija kojoj su uvjerenja jedan od središnjih koncepata. Tako, autorica postavlja sljedeće istraživačko pitanje: Kakve sličnosti i razlike u uvjerenjima postoje među akterima koji djeluju u politici pristupa studenata zdravstvenoj zaštiti? Podaci za analizu prikupljeni su putem polustrukturiranih intervju, a zatim kodirani u skladu s pravilima kvalitativne analize sadržaja. Uvjerenja aktera su prezentirana u tripartitnoj strukturi koju predlaže teorija zagovaračkih koalicija te uspoređena. Zatim smo identificirali četiri grupe aktera prema razlikama u uvjerenjima oko javne politike i sekundarnim aspektima. Zaključak je da većina ispitanih aktera prepoznaje potrebu za unaprjeđenjem zdravstvene zaštite studenata, ali se ne slaže oko rješenja kojim bi se ono postiglo. Ipak, ta uvjerenja pripadaju sekundarnim aspektima koja se često mijenjaju. Drugi akteri ili nisu upućeni ili ne prepoznaju potrebu za promjenom. Zaključak je da jedino izgradnjom povjerenja i otvorenim pregovorima moguće da različite grupe nadiđu međusobne razlike u najboljem interesu studenata.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, the author conducts an analysis of actors’ belief systems in the policy of access to healthcare for college students. So far, this policy has not been analyzed from a political perspective. For a theoretical background, the author uses advocacy coalition framework because actors’ belief systems are one of its main concepts. The key idea of this theory is that actors will try to translate their beliefs into actual policy. Therefore, the author asks the following research question: What similarities and differences exist between belief systems of actors that participate in the policy of access to healthcare for college students? Data for the analysis was collected through semi-structured interviews and then coded according to the rules of qualitative content analysis. Actors’ belief systems are then presented in a tripartite structure proposed by the chosen theory and compared. We have identified four groups of actors that differ in policy core beliefs and secondary aspect. Majority of actors advocate for change in healthcare for students but disagree over which solution would be best for achieving improvements. Other actors either don’t recognize the problem of access to healthcare for students or think that there is no need for change. To conclude, only by conducting negotiations and building trust these groups can overcome their differences in the best interest of students.
