| Description | The main topic of my bachelor thesis is an original survey on the awareness of sexually transmitted diseases, their treatment and prevention among pupils of lower secondary schools. My research is based on data collected from an online questionnaire created with survio.com. The questionnaire was sent to various lower secondary schools. The presented thesis consists of a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is dedicated to the characterization of various sexually transmitted diseases, their treatment, and prevention. The practical part deals with the analysis of selected textbooks for lower secondary schools, where it was investigated which sexually transmitted diseases are mentioned in the textbooks and to what extent. A questionnaire is also included as a part of the practical section, which records the information that has been provided to pupils about sexually transmitted diseases, where they obtained this information, and whether they would like to learn more, as well as in what format. The questionnaire also investigates whether the pupils' relatives talk to them about sexual life and whether there is pressure from external factors to start a sexual life even if they are not ready. The results show that most pupils obtain information about sexually transmitted diseases at school, but a large proportion of them feel that they do not have enough information. The majority of pupils are aware of AIDS as a sexually transmitted disease. A significant number of them have difficulty linking symptoms to specific sexually transmitted diseases, and a substantial number of pupils believe that they can be vaccinated against AIDS. Nearly half of the pupils do not know what to do when they suspect they have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. |
