Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fertility management refers to the entirety of practices that allow families to have as many children as they want and when they want, prevent unwanted pregnancies, regulate the time between two births and receive help in having children in the case of infertility.

According to the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey 2018 data, 70% of women in Turkey who are currently married do not use any contraceptive method. Based on the same data, the rate of the unmet need for fertility management is 12% nationwide, 14% in eastern provinces, and 17% in women at the ages of 20-24. These rates show that the rates of unmet fertility management needs in Turkey are still not on the desired level.

The fact that eastern provinces of Turkey have the lowest rate of modern contraceptive method use as 43% and a high rate of unmet fertility management needs as 14% suggests that it is needed to increase the effectiveness of fertility management counseling and reach more women. In these eastern provinces, especially women living in rural areas do not have easy access to these services due to the high prevalence of adolescent marriages, lack of transportation opportunities, healthcare personnel and healthcare services, and unpredictable weather conditions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To eliminate these obstacles to a relative extent, fertility management counseling will be provided through using the telehealth method. The World Health Organization states that telehealth practices will make access easier, eliminate geographical obstacles, increase the quality of healthcare, and allow the cost-effective management of the resources of the healthcare sector. The telehealth system increases the quality of healthcare, and thus, it has a significant role in managing the resources of the healthcare sector.

The Participant Information Form created by the researcher based on the review of the relevant literature includes questions about the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants (age, education level, employment status, income level) and pregnancy-related questions. The Contraceptive Method Usage Status Form (for the experimental and control groups) will be utilized to determine the contraceptive methods that are used by women in the 7th month of the postpartum period.The data that will be obtained in the study will be statistically analyzed using the International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Subscription Trial version. The analyses will include independent-samples t-test, ANOVA, and Cochran test. In cases of significant differences identified in ANOVA, Tukey's test will be used to identify the source of the difference in pairwise comparisons. The level of statistical significance is accepted as p\<0.05.
