Results of Personal Requirements Research of People with Different Social Status

Abstract

With the help of the questionnaire on studying personal needs of people with different social status developed by the author three groups of people were questioned. In the basis of the questionnaire is the theory of Maslow A. One group consisted of practically healthy people; the second group – of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, their social status was the same. And the third group consisted of people with chronic tuberculosis. They had similar changes in lungs as the people from the second group but their social status was low. The results showed that all the personal needs of the sick persons are reduced except the need in respect. Personal needs are dependent on the state of health except the need in respect. The need in respect is more important than health. The need in respect can be used as motivation for work, treatment, training and career development.
