Abstract Chlamydia trachomatis uzročnik je najčešće bakterijske spolno prenosive bolesti na svijetu, genitalne klamidijske infekcije. Također uzrokuje i trahom, bolest oka koja je glavni uzrok sljepoće u svijetu. To je bolest koju još nazivamo i “tihom epidemijom“ jer djeluje “podmuklo i potiho“, bez uočljivih simptoma, a postaje vidljiva tek kada dođe do ozbiljnih posljedica. Ako se ne liječi, ostavlja teške medicinske i psihosocijalne posljedice – kako na žene i muškarce, tako i na dojenčad. Adolescenti i mlade odrasle osobe smatraju se najrizičnijom skupinom za zarazu spolno prenosivim bolestima. Razlog tome je što mladi imaju više partnera, dosta su skloniji neplaniranim i slučajnim spolnim odnosima te ne redovitoj uporabi prezervativa. S ciljem da se ispita znanje o klamidijskoj infekciji među studentima sestrinstva provedeno je istraživanje u kojem je sudjelovalo 211 ispitanika. Instrument istraživanja bio je anketni upitnik koji se je sastojao od 18 pitanja te je bio proveden na društvenim mrežama. Na temelju obrađenih podataka proizlazi da većina ispitanika smatra da klamidijska infekcija zahvaća oba spola, njih 97,2%. Velik broj ispitanika, njih 198 smatra da klamidiju ne prenosi samo muškarac, dok ih 93,8% smatra da korištenje prezervativa smanjuje vjerojatnost zaraze muškarca. Daljnjim istraživanjem možemo vidjeti da 187 ispitanika odgovara kako se antibioticima liječi klamidijska infekcija. Također se trebamo osvrnuti na pitanje ”Klamidijska infekcija je sve otpornija, tj. rezistentnija na antibiotike?“ što je većina ispitanika smatrala točnim, čak 71% ispitanika, no to je netočan odgovor. Kao zaključak iz cijeloga istraživanja možemo zaključiti da su studenti sestrinstva dovoljno informirani o klamidijskoj infekciji, njenoj simptomatologiji, dijagnostici i liječenju. Ipak, bez obzira na rezultate, mjere zaštite treba i dalje provoditi, trebamo očuvati svoje reproduktivno zdravlje već u samoj mladosti, te odlaziti na preventivne preglede kako bi se bilo koja infekcija otkrila na vrijeme.
Abstract (english) Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted pathogen in the world that causes genital chlamydia. It can also cause trachoma, an ophtalmic disease that represents the leading cause of blindness in the world. Chlamydial infection is also called a “silent epidemic” because it appears “insidious and quietly”, without noticeable symptoms, and becomes apparent only when serious sequelae occur. If it is left untreated, it can result in serious medical and psychosocial consequences for women, men, and even newborns. Adolescents and young adults are considered the highest risk group for sexually transmitted diseases. The reason is that young people have more partners, they are much more prone to unplanned and unexpected sex, and they do not use condoms regularly. The appraisal of knowledge about chlamydial infection among nursing students was conducted on 211 respondents. Research instrument was a questionnaire composed of 18 questions and made available on social networks. The acquired data has shown that 97.2% respondents believe that chlamydial infection affects both sexes. A large number of respondents, i.e. 198 of them, believe that chlamydia is not transmitted only by men, while 93.8% believe that condoms reduce the possibillity of men becoming infected. Further research shows that 187 examinees responded that chlamydial infections can be treated with antibiotics. The question "Is chlamydial agent increasingly resistant to antibiotics?" was also posed, and although this was incorrect, a majority of respondents believed that this was a correct statement (71%). To conclude, this study has shown that nursing students are sufficiently informed about chlamydial infection, its symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, the protective measures should be applied continuously, and we should protect our reproductive health from the youngest age, and pursue preventative examinations for timely detection of sexually transmitted infections.
