| Abstract | Cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja je analizirati znanje i stavove ispitanica o redovitim ginekološkim pregledima te istražiti povezanost između njihovih sociodemografskih obilježja (dob, stupanj obrazovanja, mjesto stanovanja, bračni status, prisutnost djece) i stavova prema ginekološkim pregledima.
Nacrt studije: Provedeno je poprečno presječno istraživanje kako bi se analizirali trenutačni stavovi i percepcije ispitanika o temi istraživanja.
Ispitanici i metode: Provedeno je istraživanje na 70 dobrovoljnih ispitanica djelatnica Srednje škole Bedekovčina i Srednje škole Pregrada, poštujući etičke smjernice. Prikupljeni podaci su tretirani povjerljivo i korišteni samo u svrhu istraživanja. Istraživanje je trajalo od 04.03. do 07.04.2023. Korištena je Google anketa s 24 pitanja o ginekološkim pregledima. Analiza podataka obuhvatila je deskriptivne statističke metode i testove razlika među varijablama. Statistička značajnost postavljena je na p < 0,05. Za obradu podataka korišten je IBM SPSS 25.
Rezultati: Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 70 ispitanica. 34,3% ispitanica ima između 31 i 40 godina, a 70% ima visoku stručnu spremu. 35,7% ispitanica živi u urbanim područjima. Većina ispitanica (85,7%) je u braku ili izvanbračnoj zajednici, a 78,6% ima djecu. 65,7% ispitanica ima ginekologa u sklopu HZZO-a. Prvi ginekološki pregled obavile su u dobi od 18 do 24 godine.

Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na razlike u odgovorima ispitanica prema dobi, obrazovanju, bračnom statusu i prisutnosti djece. Ispitanice imaju dobro znanje o rizicima i preventivi vezanoj za rak vrata maternice.
Zaključak: Većina ispitanica redovito odlazi na ginekološke preglede i prepoznaje njihovu važnost. Postoji razlika u izboru ginekologa ovisno o stupnju obrazovanja, bračnom statusu i prisutnosti djece. Istraživanje može pomoći u educiranju žena o pregledima i razvoju strategija podrške njihovom reproduktivnom zdravlju. |
