VLČKOVÁ, Hana
MIDWIFE´S ROLE IN EDUCATION OF WOMEN WITH PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE Nowadays, the number of women who have underestimated the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease and who have been coping with its consequences such as chronic pain or infertility is increasing. Therefore the following topic was selected for the bachelor thesis: "Midwife´s Role in Education of Women with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease". The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis deals with the educational activity provided by a midwife, basic aetiology of pelvic inflammatory disease, its treatment and nursing process for women with pelvic inflammatory disease. A quantitative research method using anonymous questionnaires was selected for the practical part of the bachelor thesis. The research was conducted in the period of 1 January - 31 March 2011 and 93 responders participated in it. Three goals were stated in the thesis and they were met. The first goal of the research was to find out whether women are informed about the symptoms, treatment and subsequent prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease. The second goal was to find out how satisfied women are with the level of education provided by a midwife in the field of pelvic inflammatory disease. The third goal was to create educational material on pelvic inflammatory disease. Further, for the purpose of the research, 3 hypotheses were stated. Hypothesis No. 1: "Women are aware of the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease and they pay respective attention to them," was confirmed. Hypothesis No. 2: "Women lack information on causative agents of pelvic inflammatory disease causing post-inflammatory changes such as infertility," was confirmed. Hypothesis No. 3: !Women have enough information on causes of occurrence of gynaecological inflammation, its symptoms, treatment and subsequent prevention," was not confirmed. The results of the research investigation of this thesis could be useful for midwives and their educational activity. Educational material in form of a leaflet was created for women´s needs.
