Detailed Description

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

This study was conducted to determine the effects of family planning education given to married illiterate women of reproductive age via visual material support on their family planning attitudes and contraceptive preferences.

Method: The randomized controlled study was carried out between 31 January and 31 July 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 148 women, including 74 in the experimental group and 74 in the control group. Using a Family Planning Education Booklet prepared for illiterate women, an education program lasting a week in total was held in three sessions. No intervention was made in the control group. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, a Family Planning Assessment Form, and the Family Planning Attitude Scale. No intervention was made in the control group. The same data collection instruments were administered to the participants in the control group simultaneously with the experimental group in the pretest (day 1) and posttest (day 7) phases.

Group receiving Family Planning Education with Visual Material Support

Using a Family Planning Education Booklet prepared for illiterate women, an education program lasting a week in total was held in three sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Family Planning Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Stage 1 (Day 1, 10-15 min): The education content for Session 1 in the FP Education Booklet prepared by the researchers was provided to the participants using the face-to-face interview method. After making an appointment for Stage 2 (Day 3) to be carried out at the FHC, the first stage of the data collection process was complete.

Stage 2 (Day 3, 10-15 min): The education content for Session 2 in the FP Education Booklet was provided to the participants who arrived at the FHC on their predetermined appointment days using the face-to-face interview method. After making an appointment for Stage 3 (Day 7) to be carried out at the FHC, the second stage of the data collection process was complete.

Stage 3 (Day 7, 1-5 min): The data collection forms were administered again to the participants who arrived at the FHC on their appointment days assigned at Stage 2, and the data collection process was complete.

Control Group
