Primary Prevention of Sexuality and Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Příbram Region

This bachelor thesis is called ?Primary Prevention of Sexuality and Sexually Transmitted Diseases in the Region of Příbram.? The aim of primary prevention is to prevent undesirable phenomena or first experience with them and to delay the first contact with them as late as possible. This prevention in primary schools is provided by school prevention methodologists who ensure appropriate activities for their pupils. Early initiation of sexual life is a major problem at present. Adolescents often feel physically mature, however, from the psychological point of view, they are not. They seek acquaintances and change them very often and thus, increase the risk of unwanted pregnancies and related abortions, the risk of infection by a sexually transmitted disease and other risks. The main objective of my thesis was to map primary prevention of sexual education and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases in the region of Příbram. In the part of the thesis called ? The Current State? historical development of this issue, current paradigms, the general concept of prevention of sexuality, the target group of primary prevention, possibilities of contraception and sexually transmitted diseases are characterized. The data for my thesis were collected by quantitative research, by the method of questioning and by means of an anonymous questionnaire. The research sample was selected in two primary schools ? in a primary school in Příbram and in a rural primary school in the region of Příbram. The respondents were pupils from the ninth grade and were approached during their lessons and in my presence. Thus, the return of 100 % of questionnaires was ensured. The key fact, revealed by the research, is that the subject of sexual education is realized more in primary schools in the town of Příbram and it is not realized almost at all in the rural primary schools. In contrast, the fact that the participation of pupils in a prevention program that is realized outside the scope of the subject of sexual education and is focused on risky sexual behaviour is lower in the primary school of Příbram, compared to the rural primary schools of the region of Příbram. The results of my bachelor thesis can be used for further research and also for implementation of more effective primary prevention
