Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Self-Care Agency Level
Time Frame: Baseline (Pretest, Week 1), immediately after the intervention (Posttest, Week 2), and 3-month follow-up
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.
Genital Hygiene Behaviors
Time Frame: Baseline (Pretest, Week 1), immediately after the intervention (Posttest, Week 2), and 3-month follow-up
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.
