About this study
Official title: The Effect of Video-Assisted Genital Hygiene Education on Women's Self-Care Agency and Genital Hygiene Behaviors
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

- Patient Education, Hygiene, Genital Hygiene

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
VideoOther
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.

The control group filled out the same forms for the midterm and posttest assessments, at the same times as the experimental group. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Self-Care Agency Level
Self-care agency will be assessed using the Self-Care Agency Scale, developed by Kearney and Fleischer (1979) and validated in Turkish by Nahcivan (2004).
The scale consists of 35 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4), with a total score range of 0 to 140. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-care agency.
Measured: Baseline (Pretest, Week 1), immediately after the intervention (Posttest, Week 2), and 3-month follow-up
Genital Hygiene Behaviors
Genital hygiene behaviors will be measured using the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale, validated by Karahan (2017).
The scale includes 23 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1-5), with total scores ranging from 23 to 115.
Higher scores indicate more positive genital hygiene behaviors.
Measured: Baseline (Pretest, Week 1), immediately after the intervention (Posttest, Week 2), and 3-month follow-up
