“…A similar observation was shown in the study by Mastalerz-Migas -25.00% of the surveyed women said they had been informed about by a family doctor/gynaecologist about the possibility of vaccination against human papilloma virus [6]. It should be noted, however, that the fact that immunisation does not necessarily have to translate into differences in the frequency of testing prevention among women vaccinated and not vaccinated [14].…”

Introduction:The mortality of women with cervical cancer is one of the main problems of oncology. Poland is a country with high morbidity and mortality for this type of malignancy. In 2007, the incidence was 11.8 and the mortality was 5.0 per 100.000. Despite the availability of free Pap tests and many prevention campaigns, the incidence in Poland has remained at a constantly high level for several years. This prompted us to examine the degree of knowledge of different groups of the population about prophylaxis Aim of the research: To determine the knowledge and attitudes of students towards the prevention of cervical cancer. Material and methods: The study group are students of medical and non-medical faculties, who in total accounted for a panel of 112 people. The study was conducted at two universities: the Medical University of Warsaw and Kielce University of Technology. The diagnostic survey method: the study took the form of an anonymous questionnaire consisting of 25 closed questions on cervical cancer and its prevention. To determine whether there is a relationship between the subsidiaries, we used statistical methods such as test compliance χ 2 for a confidence level of p = 0.05, and r-Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: Training in the medical school is associated with having more knowledge in the field of medicine. Conclusions: Although the respondents most frequently declared that the main reason for them reporting to a gynaecologist was for regular check-ups, the percentage of the response was insufficient to conclude that students appreciate the role of secondary prevention of cervical cancer. StreszczenieWprowadzenie: Umieralność kobiet z powodu raka szyjki macicy jest jednym z głównych problemów onkologicznych. Polska należy do krajów o wysokiej zachorowalności i umieralności na ten rodzaj nowotworu złośliwego. W 2007 r. współczynnik zachorowalności wynosił 11,8, natomiast umieralności 5,0. Pomimo dostępności darmowych badań cytologicznych i wielu kampanii profilaktycznych liczba zachorowań w Polsce od kilku lat utrzymuje się stale na wysokim poziomie. Skłania to do przeanalizowania stopnia wiedzy różnych grup populacji na temat profilaktyki. Cel pracy: Określenie wiedzy i postaw studentek wobec profilaktyki raka szyjki macicy. Materiał i metody: Grupę badaną stanowiły studentki kierunków medycznych oraz niemedycznych, łącznie 112 osób. Badanie przeprowadzono na dwóch uczelniach wyższych: Warszawskim Uniwersytecie Medycznym oraz Politechnice Świętokrzyskiej. Zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. W badaniu wykorzystano anonimową ankietę składającą się z 25 zamkniętych pytań dotyczących raka szyjki macicy i jego profilaktyki. W celu określenia, czy istnieje związek pomiędzy zależnymi, zastosowano metody statystyczne, tj. test zgodności χ 2 dla poziomu ufności p = 0,05 oraz współczynnik korelacji r-Pearsona. Wyniki: Kształcenie się na uczelni medycznej wiąże się z posiadaniem większej wiedzy z dziedziny medycyny. Chociaż respondentki najczęściej deklarują, że głównym powodem, dla któreg...

“…noma has been documented indisputably [11,14,15]. In the prevention of cancer, a very important role is played by health awareness, which should be supported by practical actions, skills, and pro-health habits.…”

Introduction: The problem of cancer is becoming epidemic in the world. Despite many campaigns that promote prophylaxis, the number of women dying of cervical carcinoma is still high. Broadly defined health education aimed at detecting the disease at an early stage should be an important point of the cervical carcinoma prophylaxis program. Aim of the research: To determine the level of awareness of women surveyed in the context of the risk factors and an analysis of health behaviours. Material and methods: The study was conducted among 108 randomly selected women living in Świętokrzyskie province. The women were between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Results: The study showed that the respondents were able to read properly the causes of the risk of cervical carcinoma, but only about 30% went to a gynaecologist for prophylactic measures. Thirty percent of the respondents had cytology regularly done. Only 8% of the women in the studied group accepted an invitation to screening examinations. The majority of the surveyed women knew the risk factors for cervical carcinoma but they did not translate their knowledge into health behaviours. Most of the respondents did not have regular cytological examinations done. The majority of the surveyed women did not have screening examinations done. Conclusions: Therefore, it is necessary to multiply efforts within the actions preventing cervical carcinoma, and promote a healthy lifestyle and pro-health education.
