Knowledge of adolescent girls about pregnancy, childbirth and contraception.

The bachelor's thesis entitled Knowledge of adolescent girls about pregnancy, childbirth, contraception, focuses on the level of awareness of adolescent girls about pregnancy, childbirth and contraception. The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis deals with the developmental stages of man from conception to old age. A special chapter is devoted to the period of adolescence and risky behavior of adolescents - at this stage of their lives, because the respondents are adolescent girls. Furthermore, the theoretical part contains the period of pregnancy, the stage of childbirth and types of contraception. Because it is very important for adolescent girls to receive information about contraception, pregnancy and childbirth, the last chapter mentions the importance of educating adolescent girls by midwives and their communication together. In the research survey, a quantitative method was chosen and data collection took place in the form of a non-standardized questionnaire, which was published on social networks. The questionnaire consisted of 28 questions, of which 19 were closed and 9 semi-closed. The data obtained by the research survey were processed and evaluated using a computer program Microsoft Excel. Graphs were created for each questionnaire, which shows the answers of adolescent girls. The research group consisted of 71 respondents aged 16 to 20 years. The aim of this work was to find out whether adolescent girls have knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth and contraception. Six hypotheses were established for the research part. The first hypothesis was to find out whether adolescent girls aged 18-20 have more information about pregnancy than girls aged 16-17. This hypothesis was refuted. The second hypothesis was: Adolescent girls aged 18-20 have more information about childbirth than girls aged 16-17. The sec- ond hypothesis was also refuted. Third hypothesis: Adolescent girls aged 18-20 have more information about contraception than girls aged 16-17. This hypothesis was con- firmed. Fourth hypothesis: Teenage girls in secondary medical schools have more knowledge about pregnancy than teenage girls in grammar schools and high schools with- out a high school diploma. The fourth hypothesis was confirmed in the research. The fifth hypothesis was to find out whether adolescent girls in secondary medical schools have more knowledge about childbirth than adolescent girls in high schools and high schools without a high school diploma. This hypothesis was refuted. The last, sixth hypothesis was: Teenage girls in secondary medical schools have more knowledge about contracep- tion than teenage girls in grammar schools and high schools without a high school di- ploma.
