Hormonal contraceptives and women\u27s awareness of their use

Idealna kontracepcija je učinkovita, enostavna, varna, povratna, sprejemljiva za oba partnerja in poceni. Izbor je širok, vendar ni vsaka kontracepcija za vsako žensko, vsak par pa lahko izbere zase najprimernejšo. Zdravstveno osebje, predvsem medicinske sestre imajo velik vpliv na osveščenost žensk o kontracepciji. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti osveščenost žensk o hormonski kontracepciji, ugotoviti kakšno vlogo ima pri tem medicinska sestra ter z raziskavo ugotoviti koliko so ženske informirane o možnostih izbire hormonske kontracepcije. Raziskovalna metodologija: S pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika smo anketirali 50 naključno izbranih žensk različne starosti. Pridobljene podatke smo kvantitativno obdelali in jih grafično predstavili. Rezultati: Rezultati anket so pokazali, da so ženske dobro obveščene o hormonski kontracepciji, med najbolj poznanimi sredstvi je kontracepcijska tableta in kontracepcijski obliž, poznajo delovanje in stranske učinke oz. dejavnike tveganja, kar 100% je prepričanih da je stranski učinek hormonske kontracepcije povečanje telesne teže. Rezultati so tudi pokazali, da največ informacij pridobijo od ginekologa in s spleta in ne od medicinske sestre v ginekološki ambulanti. Sklep: O uporabi kontracepcije so nekatere ženske zelo dobro obveščene, vendar obstaja še majhen odstotek žensk katere bi bilo potrebno še informirati in osveščati vendar ne samo iz strani ginekologa ampak tudi od medicinske sestre v ginekološki ambulanti.The ideal contraception is effective, simple, safe, reversible, chip and acceptable for both sex. The selection is wide, but not every contraception method is appropriate for every woman and each couple can decide which contraception method is best for them. Health staff, especially nurses, have a major impact on the awareness of women about contraception. Purpose: Purpose of this diploma thesis is to present the awareness of women about different hormonal contraception, which part has the nurse in that and to determine through the research how well women are informed about different hormonal contraception possibilities. Methods: 50 random women different ages were asked to fill out the survey. All data were statistically analyzed and graphically presented. Results: The survey results show that women are well informed about hormonal contraception. The best known are contraceptive pills and contraceptive patches. Women are familiar with the functioning and side effects or risk factors of hormonal contraception. 100% of women are convinced that weight gain is a side effect of hormonal contraception. The results also show that majority of information about hormonal contraception women get from the gynecologist and on the Internet but not from nurses in the gynecological clinic. Conclusion: Some women are very well informed about hormonal contraception, but there is a small percentage of women who should be additionally informed, not only by gyecologist but also from nurses in the gynecological clinic
