Sexual health counseling based on the BETTER model

The content of the research will be discussed by face-to-face interviews with women who gave birth vaginally and applied to the hospital for birth control 8-10 weeks after delivery. Pre-evaluation forms will be applied to women who have agreed to participate in the study to evaluate the inclusion criteria. Women who meet the inclusion criteria will be divided into experimental-control groups using the block randomization method.

An appointment will be made for interviews with the women in the experimental group. It is planned that these meetings will be held in the form of online video calls and will last an average of 45 minutes. The final tests will be held 8 weeks after the online meetings are over.
