(diplomsko delo)

Abstract

Koža je po površini največji, najtežji in po funkciji najbolj vsestranski organ našega telesa, ki varuje vse druge organe v našem organizmu, služi kot ščit pred vplivi okolja, regulira telesno temperaturo, ima čutilno funkcijo in še bi lahko naštevali. Na površini kože se lahko pojavijo tudi različne spremembe, ki so lahko nenevarne, ali pa gre za maligne novotvorbe. Zaradi tega je treba površino kože skrbno opazovati in jo pregledovati, da lahko ob vsaki spremembi obiščemo zdravnika, ki nam pove, kakšna je vrsta spremembe. V prvem, teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni anatomija, fiziologija in patologija kože. Prav tako so predstavljene različne vrste kože, ter spreminjanja skozi različna življenjska obdobja. Ker imajo zunanji dejavniki velik vpliv tako na naše počutje, kot tudi na videz kože, so predstavljeni tudi dejavniki tveganja, ki negativno vplivajo na kožo in preventiva negativnih dejavnikov. V drugem, empiričnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, ki smo jo spomladi 2011 opravili v Zdravstvenem domu Mežica, v splošni ambulanti, med pacienti in pacientkami, ki so v tem času obiskali svojega osebnega splošnega zdravnika. Vprašalnik je bil sestavljen iz 30 vprašanj. Raziskati smo želeli, ali ženske bolje skrbijo za svojo kožo, kot moški, ali anketirani poznajo različne vrste kož in spreminjanje kože v različnih starostnih obdobjih, ter kako pogosto si odrasli pregledujejo kožo. Rezultati so pokazali, da je nekaj anketirancev osveščenih o spremembah na koži, o dejavnikih tveganja, ki vplivajo na kožo in o tem, kako se koža spreminja skozi starostna obdobja, vendar je še vedno več tistih, ki o tem ne vedo veliko, tistih, ki bi jih bilo potrebno poučiti o skrbi za kožo. Ženske bolje poznajo svojo kožo in bolje skrbijo zanjo, zato bi lahko svoje partnerje spodbujale in jim pomagale pri skrbi za kožo.

Secondary title:	Awareness of skin changes and skin protection among adults
Secondary abstract:	Skin is the largest and the heaviest organ of our body which protects all other organs of our organism. According to its function it is the most complicated and the most versatile organ. It serves as a shield against environmental influences, regulates body temperature, has a sensory function, and many more. On the surface of the skin there may also appear different changes which may be benign or malignant neoplasms. It is necessary to carefully observe the skin’s surface, and if we notice a change, we have to visit a doctor, who defines a type of change. In the first part of the degree paper are anatomy, physiology and pathology of the skin are presented. Presentation is based on their type and change over the lifecycle. Since external factors and the appearance of the skin have a major impact on our mood, risk factors and prevention of negative factors are described. In the second part of the degree paper we present the results of the survey, which was done in spring 2011 in Health Center Mežica targeting adult people, who have visited their personal doctor that day. A questionnaire consists of thirty questions. Firstly, we wanted to explore if women take better care of their skin than man. Secondly, if adults know how many skin types we know and which changes we can find on skin. We wanted to explore how often adults examine their skin. The results show that some interviewed adults are aware of skin changes and risk factors, which negatively affect the skin. They are aware of its changes over the lifecycle, but we found out that there are many people, who are not aware of the importance of the skin and diseases which infect the skin. Those people should be educated. Women know their skin better and take better care of it, so they could encourage their partners in caring for the skin.
