MAURICOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor thesis deals with women's awareness in the field of menstrual cycle. The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part focuses on the anatomy of female genitals, the physiology of the menstrual cycle, it also mentions the disorders of the menstrual cycle. Last but not least, it solves period supplies and related hygiene and menstrual poverty. The theoretical part also mentions the impact of the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on a woman's menstrual cycle and the role of a midwife in education. Two goals have been set for the practical part. The first goal was to find out what information women have about the menstrual cycle. The second goal was to map if women are informed about menstruation by a midwife. The research survey has been conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey. The self-designed questionnaire consisted of closed and semi-closed questions. The Mann-Whitney test for two independent samples and the two relative frequency agreement tests have been used to evaluate the hypotheses. The research group consisted of 1 499 respondents. Respondents were divided intocategories according to age 18-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-60 and 61 and over. The questionnaire was shared on the social network Facebook. Women aged 18-25 had the largest proportion of the total number of respondents. Related to the above objectives, the hypotheses have been set this way: H1: Women aged 18-35 are more informed about menstruation than women aged 36 and over. H2: Women aged 18-35 had more information from their mothers at the onset menstruation than women aged 36 and over. H3: Women get information about menstruation from the Internet rather than from a midwife. The research survey has found out that respondents obtained information about menstruation mainly from their mothers. 1 169 (77.9 %) of all women interviewed received information from their mothers, who rated information mainly as sufficient (31.4 %; 470 answers) or as average (22 %; 330 answers). Another 712 (47.4 %) women got information from the Internet and 602 (40.2 %) from school. 3.7% of women surveyed (56 women) stated that no one provided them with any information. Only 26 (1.7 %) women received information from the midwife. The research has also shown that women aged 18-35 have more knowledge of menstruation than women aged 36 and over. Regarding information from mothers, women aged 18-35 had more information from mothers at the start of menstruation thanwomen aged 36 and over. The proportion of women who mentioned the internet as a source of information is greater than the proportion of women who mentioned a midwife. Research has shown that women are informed about menstrual cycle. However, it is important to midwives to use sufficiently their competencies.
