Family planning : legal regulations and practice in Slovenia
Bojana Pinter, Veronika Vogrin Vrhunc, 2025, review article

Abstract: Family planning allows individuals to achieve their desired number of children, and to control the timing of their pregnancies. This can be accomplished through contraception, with reducing the need for abortion, and infertility treatments. Pregnancy and childbirth are related to maternal mortality, which can be reduced with the prevention of unintended pregnancies. Access to contraception and safe abortion is crucial. At the 1968 International Conference on Human Rights in Teheran, family planning was declared a basic human right. In 1974, Yugoslavia was the first country in the world declaring the constitutional right to freedom of choice in childbearing. The safety of artificial pregnancy termination has been greatly enhanced by the improvements of vacuum aspiration technique, developed by Slovenian doctors in 1964. In Slovenia, abortion rates are constantly decreasing since 1980 due to available contraception and established contraceptive service. The history of family planning in Slovenia and actual situation are presented.

Importance of demographic characteristics and nurses' role in women's perceptions and experiences of gynaecological examination
Dušanka Zaić, Mirko Prosen, 2015, original scientific article

Abstract: 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.
