Diplomsko delo predstavlja rak materničnega vratu in program ZORA, ter osveščenost žensk glede preprečevanja raka materničnega vratu. Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz dveh delov. V prvem (teoretičnem) delu je predstavljen rak materničnega vratu, in sicer definicija bolezni, epidemiologija, etiologija, znaki bolezni, dejavniki tveganja, PAP test in zdravljenje. Opisano je tudi cepljenje proti HPV, vloga medicinskih sester pri preprečevanju raka materničnega vratu in program ZORA. V drugem (empiričnem) delu diplomske naloge so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, s katero smo želeli ugotoviti osveščenost žensk glede rednih preventivnih pregledov pri ginekologu, seznanjenost glede raka materničnega vratu in koliko ženske poznajo program ZORA. Raziskava je bila opravljena v podjetju Gorenje gospodinjski aparati, d.d. v Velenju. Anketiranje je bilo izvedeno v mesecu oktobru 2010. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da večina žensk hodi na redne ginekološke preglede, kjer tudi dobijo informacije o raku materničnega vratu ter PAP testu.The diploma thesis represents the cervical cancer and ZORA program as well as awareness of women regarding the prevention of cervical cancer.
