Scheithauerová, Lenka ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Kovaříková, Miroslava (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (referee)
The research yielded in the field fails to explain how reproductive health education has been implemented in primary schools during the 1990s, and how it fulfilled the initial expectations with which it was introduced, from the perspective of its participants. The objective of the presented dissertation is to propose further potential steps towards the advancement of this domain and to identify topics suitable for further research in the field of reproductive health education on the basis of a survey of available sources, current research and presented research. The project examines the issue through the perspective of respondents from two countries: the Czech Republic and Spain. These two European nations implemented reproductive health education during the same period, yet with distinct approaches. Spain, with its strong Catholic tradition, contrasts with the Czech Republic, which registers a relatively low proportion of individuals with declared religious affiliation, according to statistical data from the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) in 2021. The research participants consist of current adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 26 from the Czech Republic and Spain, who attended primary school during the systematic introduction of reproductive health education.

Girls and reproductive health
CHARVÁTOVÁ, Petra
The bachelor thesis focuses on girls and their awareness of reproductive health. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part deals with the definition of reproductive health, its risk factors, and discusses sexual education as a lifelong process. The text also describes the issues of adolescence, including secondary sexual characteristics that appear in girls during puberty. Menstruation, types of contraceptive methods, sexually transmitted diseases including prevention are described in detail. Planned parenthood is defined emphasizing the importance of gynecological exams. In the conclusion of the theoretical part, the work of a midwife is characterized, including her competencies in providing community care focusing on adolescent girls. Two objectives were set for the practical part. The first objective was to map the awareness of girls in primary school about reproductive health. The second objective was to determine the sources of information about reproductive health among girls in primary school. Two hypotheses were also defined for the study: Hypothesis 1: Girls in primary school would prefer a lecture on reproductive health from a healthcare professional rather than a teacher from the school. Hypothesis 2: Girls in primary school acquire information about reproductive health more from the internet than from school education. The research sample consisted of 108 respondents (100 %), specifically 52 girls (48 %) from the 8th grade and 56 girls (52 %) from the 9th grade of selected primary schools. Girls answered questions related to reproductive health. A quantitative data collection method was chosen, in which a questionnaire of 32 questions was compiled, including 16 closed-ended questions, 15 semi-open questions, and 1 open-ended question. The questionnaire was distributed in selected primary schools in paper form. McNemar's test was used for evaluation to assess the hypotheses. The significance level for deciding on the null hypothesis was set at 0.05. The research revealed that 98 % of girls obtained information about reproductive health from teachers in primary school, not from healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, or midwives. However, 79 % of girls stated that they would be interested in educational lectures from midwives. The research also showed that girls in primary school acquire the most information about reproductive health from the internet (49 %), from parents (38 %), and from school (37 %). It was concerning to find that in one response, it was mentioned that no one had provided any information about reproductive health to the girl. The results of the research section could be used by midwives as inspiration, especially for preparing materials for lectures on reproductive health for adolescent girls in elementary schools.

The practical part aimed to discover upper-secondary and tertiary education students' opinions about reproductive health. Further, two hypotheses were determined, which were formulated as follows. Hypothesis n. 1: The tertiary students perceive the need for reproductive health education from a midwife more than upper-secondary students. Hypothesis n. 2: Women perceive the need for reproductive health education more than men. Qualitative data collection was chosen on which the questionnaire was based. The questionnaire contained 41 questions (31 closed, 8 mid-closed, and 2 open ones). It was spread in online form through Google Forms application. The research aggregate consisted of 210 respondents from upper-secondary education students (3rd and 4th years) and tertiary students from various occupations. The research sample was composed of students between the age of 17 to 27 from numerous regions of the Czech Republic. Fisher exact test was used for data analyses of the formulated hypotesis. The level of significance was stated as follows alpha = 5 % (0.05). H1 was not confirmed. It was proven that interest in reproductive health education is not dependent on students´ education; either upper secondary or tercially education degree. Also, it was not confirmed that the reproductive health education is required to be performed by midwife. H2 was confirmed. Based on the analysis was proven that women require reproductive health education to be performed by midwife more than men. According to 87 % (182) respondents of our survey the reproductive health education should be included in upper-secondary and tertiary education but 5 % (11) of respondents would not include it at all and 8 % (17) was not sure. The survey has shown that the ideal learner should be an externally educated person in reproductive health. This person would suit 78.5 % (124) of respondents, 8.2 % (13) of students would like to have a doctor for education in this topic. However, 6,3 % (9) of students would like to have teacher from their school and only for 5.1 % (9) of students the midwife would be suitable. The rest of the students, 1.9 % (3) would like to have somebody else. The Bachelor thesis and the survey could be used for purpose of educational plans and materials in topic of reproductive health education for students.
