Sažetak
Aim of this research was to compare the actual risky online behavior with the self assessment of it, among healthcare students and to correlate their behavior with their level of knowledge on online risks. The respondents were students of the 3rd year of the Undergraduate study of medical-laboratory diagnostics and students of the 2nd year of the Integrated undergraduate and graduate study of medicine. Research was conducted as a cross-sectional study at the Faculty of Medicine in Osijek for the purposes of a graduate thesis. The online version of the validated Behavioral-Cognitive Internet Security Questionnaire (BKUIS) was used in this research. The results showed that there is no correlation between the riskiness of real and self-assessed behavior among students with a correlation coefficient very close to zero. On the contrary, a weak connection was obtained between higher riskiness of actual behavior and a better degree of awareness regarding online risks, which confirms previously defined paradox that part of more aware online users behave riskier. As many as three out of five respondents entered their password to a trick question about its quality. In general, the level of knowledge is high, however, the level of riskiness in their online behavior is also high. Further work on raising awareness is of great importance, especially among future healthcare professionals who will have access to sensitive patient data within the healthcare information system.
