Prema podatcima godišnje od neke spolne bolesti oboli 300 do 500 milijuna ljudi, a najveći broj oboljelih su osobe mlađe od 25 godina. Znamo kako postoji samo jedna vrsta kontracepcije s dvostrukim učinkom, odnosno zaštitom od spolno prenosivih bolesti te neželjene trudnoće, no brojne studije i istraživanja pokazuju kako mladi veoma rijetko koriste pa tako i kupuju neku od vrsta kontracepcije zbog neugodnosti i srama.
Putem provedenog anketnog upitnika analizirani su stavovi i znanje adolescenata na području Varaždinske županije o kontracepciji i njezinim vrstama te odgovornom spolnom ponašanju. Istraživanje je provedeno od 11. studenog do 11. prosinca 2019. godine, a sastojalo se od ukupno 22 pitanja. Ovim istraživanjem željelo se dokazati kako su spolno prenosive bolesti i nekorištenje zaštite i dalje velik javno zdravstveni problem te se s toga želi potaknuti na pravovremenu edukaciju i prevenciju već u osnovnoškolskom obrazovanju, a zatim i nastaviti edukaciju kroz srednju školu i dalje kroz život.
U istraživanju prevladavaju osobe ženskog spola 119 (78,3%) od ukupno 152 sudionika. Najviše sudionika je u dobi od 18 godina (36,2%), a većina pohađa neki od gimnazijskih programa obrazovanja. Iz provedenog istraživanja možemo zaključiti kako je najčešća dob za stupanje u spolne odnose između 16-17 godine (29,6%), a kao najkorištenije sredstvo kontracepcije među sudionicima možemo istaknuti kondom (41,4%). Sudionici su informirani o vrstama kontracepcije koje postoje, no čak 64,5% njih smatra kako je prekinuti snošaj pouzdana metoda kontracepcije. Potrebno je unaprijediti znanje adolescenata o važnosti uporabe kontracepcijskih sredstava i zaštite od spolno prenosivih bolesti. Brojna druga istraživanja kao i ovo istraživanje, dokazuju da mladi sve češće stupaju u spolne odnose, imaju više partnera i da informacije koje su im potrebne u vezi kontracepcije ili spolnih bolesti pronalaze na internetu gdje one mogu biti iskrivljene i netočne.
Abstract (english) Sexually transmitted diseases and undesirable adolescent pregnancies represent a growing public health issue in Croatia and around the world year after year. According to the available data, between 300 and 500 million people acquire a sexually transmitted disease every year, and the majority are those under the age of 25. We know that there is only one type of contraception with dual effect (offering a protection against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy); nonetheless, numerous studies have shown that young people use and, thus, buy some type of contraception very rarely due to embarrassment and shame.
The questionnaire analysed the attitudes and knowledge of adolescents in the Varaždin County regarding contraception in general, its types and responsible sexual behaviour. The survey was conducted from November 11th to December 11th 2019 and consisted of a total of 22 questions. This research aims to prove that sexually transmitted diseases and the lack of protection continue to pose a major public health problem, and thus aims to encourage timely education and prevention, starting in primary school and continuing during education in high school and throughout life.
Females predominate in the study, 119 (78.3%) out of a total of 152 participants. The age of the majority of the participants is 18 (36.2%), and most of them attend gymnasium high school education programme. From the conducted research we can conclude that the most common age for sexual intercourse is between 16-17 years (29.6%), and the most used type of contraception among the participants is the condom (41.4%). Participants are informed about the types of contraception that exist, but as many as 64.5% of them think that the pull-out method (coitus interruptus) represents a reliable method of contraception. Adolescents’ knowledge of the importance of contraceptives and protection against sexually transmitted diseases needs to be improved. Numerous other studies, akin to this one, prove that young people are increasingly engaging in sexual intercourse, with an increased number of sexual partners, and seeking the information they need about contraception or sexually transmitted diseases on the Internet where they can encounter distorted and inaccurate data.
