The cutaneous melanoma is a very aggressive cancer disease which could be effectively prevented, even though the incidence of this disease is still high. For prevention, it is important to know about its possibilities and methods and to follow them. The aim of this work is to reveal the awareness of students of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice about the melanoma and its prevention. Moreover, this work focuses on the differences of awareness among students of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences and students of Faculty of Education. To fulfil the hypothesis and aims, I made a nonstandard electronic survey. All questions and offered answers are based on the theoretical part of this thesis where a few current pieces of research and their results are mentioned as well. The quantitative research was later evaluated by statistic methods, specifically one-sample and two-sample t-test. According to the quantitative research, there is conclusion that students are aware of the basic prevention of melanoma of the skin. The total average number is 21,7 from 30, which means that 72,3% of students were successful. At the same time, this thesis has confirmed that there is a statistic difference between the two compared units. The students of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences are much informed than the students of Faculty of Education that were successful in 70,6% in contrast to the 74% of the success of students of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences. Based on the data it is possible to conclude that the awareness about this issue is sufficient, however, the further education is needed especially in the case of the students of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, for whom this topic is much closer. |
