Brief Summary

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

This study aims to examine the effect of video-assisted genital hygiene education on women's self-care agency and genital hygiene behaviors. It is designed as a single-blind, randomized controlled experimental study.

Detailed Description

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

This single-blind, randomized controlled experimental study is designed to assess the impact of video-assisted genital hygiene education on women's self-care agency and genital hygiene behaviors. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. Data will be collected using validated self-report instruments at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and during follow-up.

Experimental Groups

Experimental Group; the women in the experimental group were provided with the relevant forms and asked to complete the Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for the pretest. Afterward, they received information about the importance of genital hygiene, key points to consider during genital hygiene, and watched a training video developed by the researchers. This video demonstrated genital hygiene practices on a human model, with the researcher explaining and demonstrating the steps in a practical manner.

Following the video training, participants completed the same forms again (Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale) for the midterm test. To assess the long-term effects of the training, the participants were asked to complete the same forms 8 weeks after the training.

Control Groups

Control Group; the women in the control group were informed about the forms and asked to complete the Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for the pretest. They were also informed about the importance of genital hygiene and key points to consider, but no video-assisted training was provided. The control group filled out the same forms for the midterm and posttest assessments, at the same times as the experimental group.
