The view of girls and boys on the issue of abortion
FRNKOVÁ, Aneta
The present Bachelor's thesis focuses on analysing the views of secondary school students on the issue of abortion. The Bachelor's thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part discusses the pregnancy, its occurrence, and how to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. Furthermore, it addresses the characteristics of abortion, reasons for abortion, its history, methods applied, and possible complications. Among other things, it explains the importance of preventing unwanted pregnancy and the midwives' assistance with this issue. The practical part of the Bachelor's thesis focused on two objectives. The first one was to determine the level of knowledge and opinions of girls and boys on the issue of abortion. The second objective was to investigate the knowledge and opinions of girls and boys on abortion prevention. Initially, four hypotheses were set in the thesis. The first hypothesis sought to establish whether students aged 18-19 know more about abortion than those aged 15-17. This hypothesis was rejected. The second hypothesis was to determine if secondary medical school students have more profound knowledge about the possible complications of abortion than other secondary school students. The second hypothesis was also rejected. The third hypothesis investigated whether abortion was perceived as a harmless method more by boys than girls. This hypothesis was also rejected. The last hypothesis examined whether or not girls are more likely than boys to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy. This hypothesis was also rejected. Data for the quantitative research survey was collected using a non-standardised questionnaire. The data was processed the graphical and tabular evaluation was performed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. The cohort comprised 196 respondents; 135 women and 61 men completed the questionnaire. The respondents included secondary school students aged 15-19 years. Consecutively, the questionnaire was electronically processed in Microsoft Forms and shared on Facebook.
