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.

Education about menstruation at the lower secondary schools by external subjects
Matulíková, Dagmar ; Dvořáčková, Jana (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
The master diploma thesis concentrates on the issue of education about menstruation at lower secondary schools. Through qualitative interviews with external subjects who run workshops or lectures related to the topic of menstruation at schools, I have mapped the ways of teaching about this phenomenon. The primary objective of my work is to inform about the topics that are directly connected to the education about menstruation. Last but not least, I believe my work goes beyond the physical education and into the sociocultural area and seeks to destigmatize the natural physical process that menstruation is.
