Contraception from the perspective of women
VOKURKOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of contraceptive methods and women's awareness of this topic. It is divided into two parts, the theoretical part, and the practical part. The theoretical part deals with the selected contraceptive methods (e.g. coitus interruptus, male condom, female condom, vaginal pessary, spermicides, combined oral contraceptive, a pill after unprotected intercourse, sterilization...), the reliability of contraception, the family planning, and the role of the midwife in the education about the contraceptive methods. For the practical part there was chosen one goal, specifically - to find out whether women were informed about the contraception issues and where they got the information from. The research was based on a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was self-constructed and consisted of 26 questions that were closed, semi-closed and one open question. It was distributed online on the Instagram social network. For the evaluation of the hypothesis there were used a two-sample (paired) Z test and a test for proportion. The research group consisted of 573 female respondents. These respondents were divided into a total of four age categories. Women aged 18-25 (52,2 %) were the most represented age category. On the contrary, women aged 46-50 (3,4 %) had the smallest representation. The following hypotheses are related to the above-mentioned goal: H1: Younger women have more information about the contraception than older women. H2: Women have more information about the contraception from the Internet sources than from the midwives. The research showed that younger women were more informed about the contraceptive methods than older women. To verify this hypothesis, the original four age categories were merged into two categories, specifically - younger women = 18-35 years old, older women = 36-50 years old. Furthermore, the research showed that a greater number of women obtained information about the contraceptive methods from the Internet sources than from the midwives. Women chose the Internet as a source of information a total of 379 times, while midwives were mentioned as a source of information only 7 times. 7 The research thus proved that women were informed about of the contraceptive methods. However, it is essential for the midwives to make full use of all competencies they have in their profession. Both hypotheses were confirmed through the research investigation.
