Uvod: Rak dojke je eden najpogostejših rakov pri ženskah. Zaradi visoke pojavnosti bolezni je bil v Sloveniji uveden presejalni program DORA, ki omogoča zgodnje odkrivanje raka dojk pri navidezno zdravih ženskah s pomočjo mamografije. Program je namenjen ženskam med 50. in 69. letom starosti, ki so na pregled vabljene vsaki dve leti. Za uspešnost programa je pomembna visoka udeležba ciljne populacije ter dobra ozaveščenost prebivalstva. Pomembno vlogo pri ozaveščanju imajo tudi moški, zlasti bodoči zdravstveni delavci. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti ozaveščenost moških študentov na Zdravstveni fakulteti o presejalnem programu DORA, njihovo poznavanje programa ter njihovo mnenje o vlogi moških pri spodbujanju udeležbe žensk v programu. Metode dela: Pri pisanju diplomskega dela smo najprej uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela, s katero smo pregledali strokovno literaturo. Podatke smo pridobili iz knjig in spletnih strokovnih člankov. V drugem delu naloge smo uporabili kvantitativno metodo in podatke pridobili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika oblikovanega v spletni aplikaciji Google Forms. Anketni vprašalnik je bil poslan moškim študentom vseh študijskih smeri na Zdravstveni fakulteti. Rezultati: V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 48 moških študentov Zdravstvene fakultete. Vsi anketiranci (100 %) so že slišali za program DORA in pravilno navedli njegov glavni namen ter diagnostično preiskavo (mamografijo). Večina anketiranih (91,7 %) je pravilno poznala ciljno skupino programa, medtem ko je 68,8 % pravilno navedlo pogostost vabljenja. Večina študentov svoje znanje ocenjuje kot dobro ali zelo dobro, hkrati pa več kot polovica izraža interes po dodatnem izobraževanju. Večina anketiranih meni, da je pomembno, da so tudi moški seznanjeni s programom DORA, ter da lahko prispevajo k večji udeležbi žensk. Skoraj vsi se zavedajo svoje vloge bodočih zdravstvenih delavcev, vsi pa bi spodbudili svojo partnerko ali sorodnico k udeležbi v programu. Razprava in zaključek: Rezultati kažejo, da so moški študenti Zdravstvene fakultete dobro ozaveščeni o programu DORA. V primerjavi s podobnimi raziskavami so rezultati primerljivi ali celo boljši, kar kaže na dobro raven ozaveščenosti v zdravstvenem okolju. Kljub temu pa obstaja prostor za dodatno izobraževanje, zlasti pri podrobnejšem poznavanju programa.

• Title: Awareness of male students at the Faculty of health sciences about the screening program DORA : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Due to its high incidence, the DORA screening programme was introduced in Slovenia to enable early detection of breast cancer in apparently healthy women through mammography. The programme is intended for women aged 50 to 69, who are invited for screening every two years. High participation of the target population and good public awareness are essential for the programme’s success. Men also play an important role in raising awareness, especially future healthcare professionals. Aim: The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to determine the awareness of male students at the Faculty of Health Sciences regarding the DORA screening programme, their knowledge of the programme, and their opinion on the role of men in encouraging women’s participation. Methods: A descriptive method was used to review relevant professional literature from books and online scientific articles. In the second part, a quantitative method was applied, and data were collected using a questionnaire developed in Google Forms. The questionnaire was distributed to male students from all study programmes at the Faculty of Health Sciences. Results: The study included 48 male students. All respondents (100 %) had heard of the DORA programme and correctly identified its main purpose and the diagnostic procedure (mammography). Most respondents (91,7 %) correctly identified the target population, while 68,8 % correctly indicated the screening interval. The majority rated their knowledge as good or very good, and more than half expressed interest in further education. Most respondents believe it is important for men to be informed about the programme and that they can contribute to increasing women’s participation. Almost all respondents are aware of their role as future healthcare professionals, and all would encourage their partner or relative to participate. No major differences in awareness between study programmes were observed. Discussion and Conclusion: The results show that male students at the Faculty of Health Sciences are well aware of the DORA programme. Compared to similar studies, the results are comparable or even better, indicating a good level of awareness. Nevertheless, there is still room for further education, especially regarding more detailed knowledge of the programme.
