Abstract UVOD: Plodnost je sposobnost muškarca i žene da ostvare kliničku trudnoću. Zdravstvena pismenost obuhvaća kognitivne, socijalne i osobne vještine koje definiraju sposobnost pojedinca da pristupi, razumije i koristi medicinske informacije za unapređenje i očuvanje zdravlja.
CILJ: Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi zdravstvenu pismenost i stavove prema fertilitetu s obzirom na dob, razinu obrazovanja i stupanj obrazovanja. Ispitivanjem je obuhvaćeno 52 žene, većinom u dobi između 25 i 34 godine, s različitim razinama obrazovanja.
METODE:Ovim istraživanjem smo testirali navedene hipoteze. Numeričke vrijednosti se prezentiraju upotrebom metoda deskriptivne statistike, i to aritmetičke sredine i standardne devijacije kod normalno distribuiranih podataka, dok se u slučaju odstupanja od normalne distribucije koristi medijan, te interkvartilni raspon kao pokazatelj odstupanja od medijana. Ukupan raspon vrijednosti se prezentira upotrebom minimuma i maksimuma. Normalnost razdiobe je prethodno ispitana upotrebom Kolmogorov-Smirnov testa.Razlika u zastupljenosti ispitanika prema promatranim obilježjima se ispituje upotrebom χ2 testa, dok se hipoteze ispituju upotrebom ANOVA testa, te Kruskal-Wallis testa kod varijabli čija distribucija statistički značajno odstupa od normalne.
REZULTATI: Različite dobne skupine pokazale su varijacije u razini znanja. Najveći broj ispitanica (48,08%) imao je između 25 i 34 godine, a statistički značajna razlika u znanju o fertilitetu nije pronađena među dobima, što sugerira da dob nije ključni faktor u razumijevanju fertiliteta.Stupanj obrazovanja također je pokazao utjecaj na razinu znanja. Ispitanice sa završenom srednjom školom dominirale su (40,38%), dok je najmanje ispitanica imalo završen magisterij/doktorat (11,54%). Analiza zdravstvene pismenosti pokazala je da nema značajnih razlika u znanju o fertilitetu među različitim dobnim skupinama i razinama obrazovanja. Također, nije utvrđena povezanost između zdravstvene pismenosti i stavova prema fertilitetu.Analiza NSV-HR upitnika zdravstvene pismenosti pokazala je da većina ispitanica ima visok nivo zdravstvene pismenosti, bez značajnih razlika među dobnim skupinama i razinama obrazovanja. Ovo je u skladu s nalazima koji sugeriraju da zdravstvena pismenost nije povezana s dobi ili obrazovanjem.
ZAKLJUČAK: Iako opće znanje o nekim aspektima fertiliteta postoji, značajno nedostaje razumijevanje specifičnih medicinskih informacija. Postojeći edukacijski programi o fertilitetu možda nisu dovoljno učinkoviti, pa je potrebno razviti programe koji obuhvaćaju sve aspekte fertiliteta i dostupni su svim skupinama. Programi bi trebali uključivati informacije o rizicima zdravstvenih stanja i ponašanja te općim čimbenicima koji utječu na plodnost. Različite skupine mogu imati različite potrebe za informacijama, stoga programi trebaju biti prilagođeni kako bi osigurali maksimalnu učinkovitost. Istraživanje je pokazalo visoku razinu zdravstvene pismenosti, ali to nije dovoljno; informacije moraju biti relevantne, razumljive i primjenjive.
Abstract (english) INTRODUCTION: Fertility is the ability of a man and a woman to achieve a clinical pregnancy. Health literacy encompasses cognitive, social, and personal skills that define an individual's ability to access, understand, and use medical information to promote and preserve health.
AIM: The aim of the study was to determine health literacy and attitudes towards fertility with regard to age, level of education and level of education. The study included 52 women, mostly between the ages of 25 and 34, with different levels of education.
METHODS:With this research, we tested these hypotheses. Numerical values are presented using the methods of descriptive statistics, namely arithmetic mean and standard deviation in normally distributed data, while in the case of deviations from the normal distribution, the median and interquartile range are used as an indicator of deviation from the median. The total range of values is represented using the minimum and maximum. The normality of the distribution was previously examined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.The difference in the representation of subjects according to the observed characteristics is examined using the χ2 test, while hypotheses are examined using the ANOVA test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test for variables whose distribution is statistically significantly different from normal.
RESULTS: Different age groups showed variations in the level of knowledge. The largest number of respondents (48.08%) were between 25 and 34 years old, and a statistically significant difference in knowledge about fertility was not found between ages, which suggests that age is not a key factor in understanding fertility.The level of education also showed an impact on the level of knowledge. Female respondents with a high school diploma dominated (40.38%), while the fewest respondents had completed a master's/doctoral degree (11.54%).Analysis of health literacy showed that there were no significant differences in knowledge about fertility between different age groups and levels of education. Also, there is no correlation between health literacy and attitudes towards fertility.The analysis of the NSV-HR Health Literacy Questionnaire showed that the majority of respondents have a high level of health literacy, without significant differences between age groups and levels of education. This is consistent with findings suggesting that health literacy is not related to age or education.
CONCLUSION: Although general knowledge of some aspects of fertility exists, there is a significant lack of understanding of specific medical information. Existing fertility education programmes may not be effective enough, so it is necessary to develop programmes that cover all aspects of fertility and are accessible to all groups. Programmes should include information on the risks of health conditions and behaviours and general factors affecting fertility. Different groups may have different information needs, so programs should be tailored to ensure maximum effectiveness. Research has shown a high level of health literacy, but this is not enough; The information must be relevant, understandable and applicable.
