Abstrakt		Uvod: Ginekološki pregled je ključnega pomena za varovanje reproduktivnega zdravja žensk. Namen raziskave je bil razložiti doživljanja žensk ob ginekološkem pregledu in pomen nekaterih demografskih značilnostih ter vlogo medicinske sestre. Metode: V raziskavi je bila uporabljena kvantitativna metoda dela. Na nenaključnem, priložnostnem vzorcu žensk (n = 476) je bil uporabljen strukturiran spletni anketni vprašalnik, ki je bil objavljen na najbolj obiskanih slovenskih spletnih forumih. Pred uporabo je bila opravljena pilotna študija na vzorcu desetih žensk. Podatki so bili obdelani z uporabo deskriptivne statistike, t-testa, Pearsonovega in Spearmanovega korelacijskega koeficienta. Rezultati: Rezultati kažejo statistično pomembno povezanost med bivalnim okoljem (t = %2,436, p = 0,015), stopnjo dosežene izobrazbe (rs = %0,153, p = 0,001) in prisotnostjo nelagodja in strahu pred ginekološkim pregledom. Vloga medicinske sestre pri zmanjševanju nelagodja in strahu pred (t = %0,931, p = 0,352) ali med (t = %0,888, p = 0,375) ginekološkim pregledom se ni izkazala za statistično značilno. Diskusija in zaključek: Poleg demografskih značilnosti številni osebni in družbeni dejavniki oblikujejo odnos žensk do ginekološkega pregleda ter s tem povezanega nelagodja in strahu. Raziskava nakazuje, da so v bodoče potrebne kvalitativne raziskave, ki bi omogočile poglobljen vpogled v ozadje doživljanja ginekološkega pregleda pri ženskah.Introduction: Gynaecological examination is crucial for protecting the reproductive health of women. The purpose of the study was to explore the perception of women towards gynaecological examination, the importance of some demographic characteristics and the role of a nurse. Methods: A quantitative methodology was used for study purposes. A structured web questionnaire was applied on a non-random, convenience sample of women (n = 476). The questionnaire was published on the most popular Slovenian web forums. Prior to the main research project, a pilot study was conducted on a sample of 10 women. The statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficient. Results: Results of the study show a statistically significant correlation between the respondents' residential environment (t = -2.436, p = 0.015), the level of educational attainment (rs=-0.153, p = 0.001) and the presence of discomfort and fear before the gynaecological examination. The role of a nurse in reducing the level of discomfort and fear before (t = -0.931, p = 0.352) and during (t = -0.888, p = 0.375) the gynaecological examination was not proven statistically significant. Discussion and conclusions: Besides the demographic characteristics, a number of personal and societal factors influence women's attitudes towards gynaecological examination and the associated discomfort and fear. The study suggests that further qualitative studies are needed to gain a deeper understanding of how women experience a pelvic examination.
