Abstract Menstruacija je prirodni biološki proces koji se manifestira na mjesečnoj razini, a pokazatelj je normalnog zbivanja u životu žena. Uredno menstrualno krvarenje odraz je urednog ženskog zdravlja, a ne bolesti, što je još uvijek uvriježeno mišljenje u narodima diljem svijeta. Kako bi se menstrualno zdravlje očuvalo, potrebno je voditi pravilnu i redovitu menstrualnu higijenu, a posebice poticati edukaciju mladih od pubertetske životne dobi.
U današnje doba, ali i tijekom prošlosti, menstruacija je uzajamno povezana s društvom. Društveni je čimbenik u ekonomskom, ekološkom, obrazovnom, zdravstvenom i kulturnom djelokrugu. Menstruacija nije česta tema rasprave, pa je nerijetko stigmatizirana unutar društva, čime se dokazuje način razmišljanja i ponašanja ljudi u današnjem, globaliziranom svijetu.
Objekt ovog završnog rada jest spoznavanje stavova studentica redovnog i izvanrednog preddiplomskog studija sestrinstva na Fakultetu zdravstvenih studija Sveučilišta u Rijeci o menstrualnoj higijeni i stigmi menstruacije u društvu. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo sveukupno 85 ispitanica, od čega njih 18 s prve godine redovnog studija, 20 s druge godine redovnog studija i 21 s treće godine redovnog studija. Od studentica izvanrednog studija sestrinstva, u istraživanju je prisustvovalo njih 10 s prve godine izvanrednog studija, 11 s druge godine izvanrednog studija i 5 s treće godine izvanrednog studija. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću online anketnog upitnika, a podaci su sistematizirani i analizirani u grafičkom obliku uz pomoć programa Microsoft Excel iz softverskog paketa MS Office.
Analizom dobivenih rezultata, potvređene su tri hipoteze postavljene na početku istraživanja, a jedna je odbačena. Ovim je istraživanjem dokazano da studentice sestrinstva najčešće koriste jednokratne menstrualne potrepštine te da nisu dovoljno educirane i osvještene o korisnosti višekratnih menstrualnih potrepština. Uz to, dokazano je da većina studentica sestrinstva smatra da bi cijene menstrualnih potrepština trebale biti niže. Većina studentica zadovoljna je uvjetima za održavanje menstrualne higijene na Fakultetu zdravstvenih studija Sveučilišta u Rijeci, dok postoji manji dio njih koji smatra da bi uvjeti za održavanje menstrualne higijene mogli biti bolji. Stigmatizacija je još uvijek pristuna u društvu, a postoji i kod svih studentica sestrinstva na Fakultetu zdravstvenih studija Sveučilišta u Rijeci.
Abstract (english) Menstruation is a natural biological process that manifests on a monthly basis and is an indicator of normal happenings in a woman’s life. Regular menstrual bleeding is a reflection of a woman’s health, not a disease, which is still a common belief in nations around the world. As to keep menstrual health well, it is necessary to maintain proper and regular menstrual hygiene, and especially to encourage the education of young people from puberty. Nowadays, but also during the past, menstruation is interrelated with society. It is a social factor in the economic, environmental, educational, health and cultural spheres. Menstruation is not a frequent topic of discussion, so it is often stigmatized within society, which indicates the way people think and behave in today's globalized world.
The object of this final paper is to get to know the attitudes of full-time and part-time undergraduate nursing students at the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Rijeka on menstrual hygiene and the stigma of menstruation in society. A total of 85 respondents participated in the research, of which 18 from the first year of full-time study, 20 from the second year of full-time study and 21 from the third year of full-time study. Of the part-time nursing students, 10 from the first year of part-time study, 11 from the second year of part-time study and 5 from the third year of part-time study attended the research. The research was conducted using an online survey questionnaire, and the data was systematized and analyzed in graphical form with the help of Microsoft Excel from the software package MS Office.
By analyzing the obtained results, three hypotheses set at the beginning of the research were confirmed, while one was rejected. This research proved that nursing students most often use disposable menstrual supplies and that they are not sufficiently educated and aware of the usefulness of reusable menstrual supplies. In addition, it has been proven that most nursing students believe that the prices of menstrual supplies should be lower. Most female students are satisfied with the conditions for menstrual hygiene at the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Rijeka, while there is a small number of them who believe that the conditions for menstrual hygiene could be better. Stigmatization is still present in society, and it also exists among nursing students at the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Rijeka.
