Također najčešći je uzrok smrti u žena te pogađa sve mlađu populaciju. Točna etiologija bolesti još uvijek nije poznata no smatra se da nastaje djelovanjem vanjskih i unutarnjih čimbenika. Danas postoje razni načini prevencije karcinoma dojke, a neki od njih su klinički pregled, samopregled dojki, mamografija te ultrazvučni pregled, a konačna dijagnoza se postavlja patološkim pregledom uzorka tkiva dojke. U liječenju se koristi nekoliko metoda: kirurški zahvat, radioterapija odnosno zračenje, kemoterapija, hormonska terapija i imunoterapija. Važno je na vrijeme prepoznati razvoj bolest te pravovoremeno reagirati kako bi se omogućilo što bolje izlječenje te održala kvaliteta života žena. Stoga je važno redovito, jednom godišnje odazvati se na mamografiju te također provoditi samopregled dojke. Samopregled dojke jedna je od najjednostavnijih metoda prevencije karcinoma koja spašava živote. Veliku ulogu u prevenciji i edukaciji žena o preventivnim programima ima medicinsko osoblje.
Ovaj rad proveden je s ciljem da se ispita informiranost žena reproduktivne dobi o važnosti provođenja preventivnih samopregleda dojki te koliko njih ga provodi, te radi li to ispravno. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 240 ispitanica u dobnoj skupini od 16 do 50 godina i više. Prema istraživanju većina ispitanica je upoznata sa samopregledom i zna čemu služi, ali samo 26,7% njih ga redovito i obavlja. Također 42,1% ispitanica od ukupnog broja zna kako pravilno učiniti samopregled no usprkos tome, ne rade ga redovito. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je potrebna kontinuirana edukcija i demonstracija provođenja samopregleda dojki te da je s edukacijom potrebno početi već u srednjoj školi. Važno je što više poticati, motivirati i provoditi programe kako bi se kod što većeg broja žena stvorila navika redovitog i pravilnog provođenja samopregleda.
Abstract (english) Breast cancer is one of the leading public health problems both in Croatia and in other countries. It is also the most common cause of death in women and affects the younger population. The exact etiology of the disease is still unknown, but it is believed to be caused by external and internal factors. Today, there are various ways to prevent breast cancer, and some of them are clinical examination, breast self-examination, mammography and ultrasound examination, and the final diagnosis is made by pathological examination of the breast tissue sample. Several methods are used in the treatment: surgery, radiotherapy or radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and immunotherapy. It is important to recognize the development of the disease in time and to react in a timely manner in order to enable the best possible healing and maintain the quality of life of women. Therefore, it is important to attend a mammogram regularly, once a year, and also perform a breast self-examination. Breast self-examination is one of the simplest methods of cancer prevention that saves lives. Medical personnel play a major role in prevention and education of women about preventive programs.
This work was carried out with the aim of examining the awareness of women of reproductive age about the importance of performing preventive breast self-examinations and how many of them perform it, and whether they are doing it correctly. 240 respondents in the age group from 16 to 50 years and older participated in the research. According to the research, most of the respondents are familiar with self-examination and know what it is for, but only 26.7% of them perform it regularly. Also, 42.1% of respondents out of the total number know how to properly perform a self-examination, but despite this, they do not do it regularly. The results of the research showed that continuous education and demonstration of breast self-examination is needed and that education should start already in high school. It is important to encourage, motivate and implement as much as possible programs in order to create the habit of regular and proper implementation among as many women as possible self-examination.
