Wiedza i świadomość polskich, czeskich i słowackich studentów na temat zmian hormonalnych w cyklu życia człowieka
Awareness of Polish, Czech and Slovak students on hormonal changes in the human life cycle

Summary/Abstract: There are many environmental factors that can affect a person's fertility and rate of development during adolescence. The use of psychoactive substances during puberty, a time when testosterone and oestradiol levels begin to exceed childhood levels, increases the likelihood of psychiatric disorders in adulthood; in turn, at menopause, oestrogen deficiency can cause psychological, physical and endocrine changes, including sexual dysfunction. The study aimed to diagnose students' knowledge of hormonal changes in the human life cycle. The study was conducted at three universities – in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. A total of 450 students participated in the study (172 from Poland, 99 from the Czech Republic and 179 from Slovakia). The analysis of the survey results showed that students' knowledge of hormonal changes in the human life cycle is insufficient.
