详细描述
Genital hygiene behaviors are of great importance in preventing urinary tract infections, especially during pregnancy. The study was conducted to determine the effect of genital hygiene education given to pregnant women diagnosed with urinary tract infection on genital hygiene behavior and self-care ability. The study was conducted in the gynecology and obstetrics clinics of a hospital in eastern Turkey between September 2021 and February 2022. Personal Information Form, Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale and Self-Care Ability Scale were used to collect data. In the power analysis, the sample size was calculated as 80 pregnant women in each group (80 experimental, 80 control). Pregnant women in the experimental group received genital hygiene education in 4 sessions, while no intervention was applied to the control group. Descriptive statistical analyses and t-test in dependent-independent groups were used in the analysis of the data.

结局指标
主要结局
genital hygiene behavior
时间窗: 30 days
Considering that behaviors regarding genital hygiene are established from an early age, it is important to objectively determine risky behaviors in young women who are not yet sexually active in order to take precautions for improving genital hygiene.In this way, many negative outcomes that may occur during the fertile period and are directly related to genital infections, such as infertility, abortion, and the threat of premature birth,can be prevented.On the other hand, it would be useful to use an objective, valid, and reliable measurement tool in determining the relationship between genital hygiene behaviors in women and situations such as the threat of premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, and postpartum infection.The primary outcome of this study is to determine the genital hygiene behaviors of the hygiene education given to women who have previously had urinary tract infections.For this purpose, the General Hygiene Habit and Abnormal Finding Awareness scale was used.
