- Brief Summary
As a result of the Shapiro-Wilk normality test of the dependent variable and Levene’s test for the equality of variance test, the p-values were found to satisfy the assumption of the t-test. 1) Primary outcome effects of the IEPP (Internet-Based Environmental Prenatal Program)on environmental health perceptions: Hypothesis 1 was partially supported. The severity score was significantly higher in the IEPP group than in the control group (40.92±3.93 and 45.76±3.47) (t=-4.57, p<.001). The response efficacy score was significantly higher in the IEPP group than in the control group (40.25±5.40 and 45.88±4.42) (t=-3.99 p<.001). In addition, the IEPP had a significantly higher score for benefits than the control group (30.04±4.81 and 32.92±4.04) (t=-2.27, p=.027), and the total score was significantly in the IEPP group than in the control group (236.83±22.80 and 250.68±15.43) (t=-2.49, p=.016). There were no statistically significant differences with regard to susceptibility (43.92±4.74 and 45.92±4.46) (t=-1.52, p=.134), self-efficacy (45.67±8.76 and 47.80±6.72) (t=-0.95, p=.344), and barriers (32.21±4.32 and 32.40±4.88) (t=-0.15, p=.855) between the control and experimental groups. 2) Primary outcome effects of the IEPP on environmental health behaviors: Hypothesis 2 was rejected. There were no statistically significant differences in personal health behaviors (58.79±7.80 and 61.32±8.29) (t=-1.10, p=.278), community health behaviors (58.25±9.26 and 57.00±7.50) (t=0.50, p=.605), or the total score (119.67±13.56 and 118.32±14.10) (t=0.34, p=.735) between the control and experimental groups. 3) Secondary outcome effects of IEPP educational satisfaction: Hypothesis 3 was rejected. There were no statistically significant differences in feasibility (7.71±2.19 and 8.48±1.81) (t=-1.34 p=.185), accessibility (8.42±1.16 and 8.68±1.95) (t=-0.41, p=.677), overall satisfaction (8.42±1.76 and 8.68±1.95) (t=0.51, p=.608), and the total score (24.83±5.21 and 25.56±4.09) (t=-0.50, p=.618) between the control and experimental groups.
