Abstract

Objectives: To assess the experience and knowledge of Polish women up to 50 years of age about fertility and its disorders.

Material and methods: A self-composed questionnaire consisting of 44 questions, divided into six sections, was available in social media from January until February 2020. The answers to 13 single-choice questions were analyzed to assess the level of knowledge. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of Statistica 13.0, with p value < 0.05 considered significant.

Results: A total of 3,321 correctly filled out questionnaires were obtained. The average result was 8.88 out of 13 single- choice questions regarding the basics of the menstrual cycle and infertility (median 9, standard deviation [SD] 2.21). As many as 65.2% of respondents did not know which days in the cycle were fertile days. The women who had been and/or were pregnant at the time of survey, more often answered better than those, who had never given birth. They had a better mean score of 13 single-choice questions compared to those who had never been pregnant (9.02 vs 8.61, p < 0.001). Respondents who obtained information about infertility from doctors in 86.97% knew that regular intercourse meant 2-3 times per week in comparison to 79.7% of those who were not educated by medical practitioners (p < 0.0001). 69.8% respondents from the first group knew that the test of ovarian reserve existed in comparison to 55.63% of women from the second group (p < 0.0001).

Conclusions: The research has shown that the knowledge about fertility and its disorders is not satisfying among Polish women.

波兰妇女关于生育及其疾病的经验和知识水平--横断面研究。

目的评估 50 岁以下波兰女性对生育及其疾病的经验和知识：自 2020 年 1 月至 2 月，在社交媒体上发布了一份由 44 个问题组成的自编问卷，问卷分为六个部分。对 13 道单选题的答案进行了分析，以评估知识水平。统计分析使用 Statistica 13.0 进行，P 值小于 0.05 为显著：共收到 3,321 份正确填写的问卷。在有关月经周期和不孕症基础知识的 13 道单项选择题中，平均成绩为 8.88（中位数为 9，标准差 [SD] 为 2.21）。多达 65.2% 的受访者不知道月经周期中哪些日子是受孕日。与从未生育过的妇女相比，在接受调查时曾经怀孕和/或正在怀孕的妇女的回答往往更好。在 13 道单项选择题中，她们的平均得分高于从未怀孕过的妇女（9.02 分对 8.61 分，P<0.001）。从医生那里获得不孕不育信息的受访者中，86.97%的人知道定期性交是指每周 2-3 次，而没有接受过医生教育的受访者中，只有 79.7%的人知道（P < 0.0001）。69.8%的第一组受访者知道有卵巢储备功能测试，而 55.63%的第二组妇女对此一无所知（P < 0.0001）：研究表明，波兰妇女对生育及其疾病的了解并不令人满意。
