Files: MAG_Zalar_Natasa_2025.pdf (2,96 MB) MD5: 014CB9A32C4C5C10E1EAF5DA08B42BC5   Language: Slovenian Work type: Master's thesis/paper Typology: 2.09 - Master's Thesis Organization: UAMEU - Alma Mater Europaea University Abstract: Teoretična izhodišča: Okužba s HPV je najpogostejša spolno prenosljiva bolezen. Najučinkovitejši ukrep za preprečevanje okužbe in njenih posledic je cepljenje. Potencial cepiva v veliki meri ostaja neizkoriščen, saj je stopnja precepljenosti v Sloveniji prenizka. Višja ozaveščenost ljudi o pomenu cepljenju proti okužbi s HPV pomembno vpliva na višjo precepljenost. Srednješolci si lahko s pravim znanjem povečajo možnost za pravilne odločitve, zato je bil namen magistrskega dela ugotoviti, kakšna je ozaveščenost srednješolcev o pomenu cepljenja proti okužbi s HPV. Raziskovalna metodologija: Uporabljena je kvantitativna metoda dela. Raziskovalni instrument je anketni vprašalnik, ki je oblikovan na podlagi pregleda literature. Raziskovalni vzorec zajema 264 srednješolcev Gimnazije Ormož. Rezultati: V raziskavi 59,8 % srednješolcev navaja, da so cepljeni proti okužbi s HPV, vendar se precepljenost razlikuje glede na spol. Večina srednješolcev se zaveda, da HPV povzročajo okužbe spolovil in rodil, vendar se jih izrazito malo zaveda, da povzročajo tudi okužbe zadnjika in ustnega dela žrela. Srednješolci so premalo seznanjeni s prenosom okužbe in učinkovitimi metodami preprečevanja okužbe ter namenom cepljenja proti okužbi s HPV. Več kot tretjina srednješolcev ne ve, da se proti okužbi s HPV lahko cepijo ženske in moški. Pomembne razlike v ozaveščenosti so med srednješolci moškega in ženskega spola ter cepljenimi in necepljenimi srednješolci. Razprava in zaključek: Ozaveščenost srednješolcev o pomenu cepljenja proti okužbi s HPV ni ustrezno. Več kot polovica srednješolcev nima dovolj informacij o cepljenju in več kot polovica srednješolcev je izrazilo željo po dodatnih informacijah. Ugotovitve raziskave so koristne za nadaljnje načrte promocije cepljenja proti okužbi s HPV.

Abstract:	Theoretical background: The HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease. The most effective measure to prevent this infection and its consequences is vaccination. To a significant degree, the potential of the vaccine remains untapped, as the vaccination rate in Slovenia is too low. Greater awareness of the importance of vaccination against the HPV infection could have a significant impact on a higher vaccination rate. High school students are more likely to take the rational decision if they have the right knowledge; therefore, the aim of this master's thesis was to determine the degree of awareness of high school students of the importance of vaccination against the HPV infection. Research methodology: A quantitative work method was used. The research instrument was a survey, which was based on a literature overview. The research sample comprised 264 high school students attending the Ormož Gymnasium. Results: In the research, 59,8 % of high school students declared that they are vaccinated against the HPV infection, yet the vaccination rate differs in terms of gender. Most high school students are aware that HPV causes infections of the genitalia and reproductive organs, but too few of them are aware that it also causes infections of the anus and oral part of the oesophagus. High school students possess too little knowledge on the transmission of the infection and effective prevention methods as well as the intention of vaccination against the HPV infection. More than a third of high school students are not aware that both women and men can get vaccinated against the HPV infection. Among high school students, there were significant differences in the awareness when comparing male and female students as well as those who were vaccinated and those who were not. Discussion and conclusion: The degree of awareness of high school students of the importance of vaccination against the HPV infection is not adequate. More than a half of them possess too little information on vaccination and more than a half of them expressed the desire to obtain additional information. These research findings are useful for further plans on how to promote vaccination against the HPV infection.
