| Abstract | Spolno zdravlje (SH) sastavni je dio cjelokupnog zdravlja, dobrobiti i kvalitete života. To je stanje fizičkog, emocionalnog, mentalnog i društvenog blagostanja u odnosu na spolnost, a ne samo odsutnost bolesti, disfunkcije ili nemoći. Prema definiciji Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije (WHO), reproduktivno zdravlje (RH) je stanje potpunog fizičkog, mentalnog i socijalnog blagostanja u svim područjima koja su vezana uz reproduktivni sustav čovjeka i njegovo funkcioniranje kroz sve faze života.
Stigmatizacija koja prati spolnost, spolno ponašanje, spolne odnose, spolno i reproduktivno zdravlje dovodi do smanjenog pristupa relevantnim informacijama, izaziva neznanje i neinformiranost, donosi neodgovorno spolno ponašanje i u konačnici, zbog zajedničkog djelovanja svih navedenih faktora dolazi do narušenog spolnog i reproduktivnog zdravlja koje kao neizostavni djelić cjelokupnog čovjekovog zdravlja dovodi do narušavanja cjelokupnog fizičkog i metalnog zdravlja ljudi. Promocija zdravlja i odgovornog ponašanja predstavlja važnu kariku u lancu učinkovite zdravstvene zaštite. Uspješna promocija zdravlja dovodi do uspješne prevencije neželjenog ponašanja što u konačnici dovodi do smanjenog broja zaraza i razvoja bolesti.
Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je iznijeti teorijski presjek problematike vezane uz spolno i reproduktivno zdravlje te provesti istraživanje i analizirati podatke provedenog istraživanja o informiranosti, znanju, navikama i postupcima vezanim uz spolno i reproduktivno zdravlje opće populacije u Republici Hrvatskoj. Podaci za ovo istraživanje prikupljeni su pomoću dvije online ankete u vremenskom razdoblju od 25.7.2022. do 25.8.2022. godine. Ukupan broj ispitanika je 315 (N= 315). Analizom rezultata istraživanja mogu se donijeti slijedeći zaključci: sudionici ankete su dobro informirani o temama vezanim uz spolno i reproduktivno zdravlje, znanje sudionika anketa o SPI, nacionalnom programu, cijepljenju protiv HPV-a je na dobroj razini, postoje rizična ponašanja, navike odlazaka na preglede pogotovo preventivne preglede bolje su kod sudionica ženskog spola, postupci vezani uz spolno i reproduktivno zdravlje te njegovu zaštitu ne razlikuju se s obzirom na spol i na zadovoljavajućoj su razini i premala je razina informiranja i edukacije pružena od strane zdravstvenih djelatnika.
Medicinske sestre i medicinski tehničari su zdravstveni djelatnici koji su najviše u izravnom kontaktu s ljudima te oni ostvaruju najprisniji odnos sa ljudima koji im omogućuje otvaranje osjetljive tematike poput spolnog i reproduktivnog zdravlja i dakako da su oni i prvi izvor informacija i prvi koji potiču i promoviraju znanje. Svojom edukacijom, svojim primjerom i svojim znanjem te pružanjem istih svim ljudima kojima pružamo bilo kakve vrste medicinskih usluga, medicinske sestre i tehničari i sami postaju nezaobilazni i iznimno potrebni kotačić univerzalne zdravstvene pokrivenosti. |
| Abstract (english) | Sexual health (SH) is an integral part of overall health, well-being and quality of life. It is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality, not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or weaknesses. According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), reproductive health (RH) is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being in all areas related to the human reproductive system and its functioning throughout all stages of life.
The stigmatization that accompanies sexuality, sexual behavior, sexual relations, sexual and reproductive health leads to reduced access to relevant information, causes ignorance and lack of information, leads to irresponsible sexual behavior and ultimately, due to the joint action of all the above factors, impaired sexual and reproductive health is inevitable. a fraction of a person's overall health leads to a violation of the overall physical and metallic health of people. Promotion of health and responsible behavior is an important link in the chain of effective health care. Successful health promotion leads to successful prevention of unwanted behavior, which ultimately leads to a reduced number of infections and disease development.
The aim of this thesis is to present a theoretical overview of issues related to sexual and reproductive health and to conduct research and analyze the data of the conducted research on information, knowledge, habits and procedures related to sexual and reproductive health of the general population in the Republic of Croatia. The data for this research was collected using two online surveys in the time period from 25.7.2022. until 25.8.2022.. The total number of respondents is 315 (N= 315). Analyzing the results of the research, the following conclusions can be drawn: the survey participants are well informed about topics related to sexual and reproductive health, the knowledge of the survey participants about STIs, the national program, vaccination against HPV is at a good level, there are risky behaviors, habits of going to examinations especially preventive examinations are better for female participants, procedures related to sexual and reproductive health and its protection do not differ with regard to gender and are at a satisfactory level, and the level of information and education provided by health professionals is too low.
Nurses and medical technicians are the health workers who are the most in direct contact with people, and they have the most intimate relationship with people, which allows them to open sensitive topics such as sexual and reproductive health, and of course, they are the first source of information and the first to encourage and promote knowledge. Through their education, their example and their knowledge, and by providing the same to all people to whom we provide any type of medical services, nurses and technicians themselves become an indispensable and extremely necessary part of universal health coverage. |
