Study Overview
Brief Summary
Pretest data will be collected after obtaining informed consent from all study participants. Pre-test data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, Self-Care Strength Scale and Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale. Genital Hygiene training will be given after pre-test data is collected. Reminder training will be given after the first training. Reminder training will be given 15 days, 1 month and 2 months after the training. Post-test data will be collected 1 month after the last reminder training. Post-test data will be collected using the Self-Care Strength Scale and Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale.
Detailed Description
Type of research The research was planned as a quasi-experimental and was planned in a pre-test post-test grouped order.
Population and sample of the research The population of the research consists of 70 female prisoners in Çorum L-type Closed Penal Institution. Considering the benefit of the study to all women, all female prisoners who agree to participate in the research and meet the inclusion criteria, without any sample selection, will constitute the sample of the quasi-experimental study.
Collection of research data The data of the research will be collected from the prisoners in the women's unit of the relevant Penal Institution. Personal Information Form, Self-Care Power Scale and Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale will be used to collect research data.
Personal Information Form: It consists of questions regarding women's sociodemographic characteristics and genital discharge status.
Self-Care Power Scale: The scale is a tool developed by Kearney and Fleischer in 1979 to determine individuals' ability and strength to take care of themselves (Kearney and Fleischer, 1979). The validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Nakhcivan in Turkey in 1993 (Nahcivan, 1994). The scale consists of 35 items that aim to evaluate individuals' self-care abilities and strengths and is a 5-point Likert type. The maximum score to be obtained from the scale is 140, below 82 points is considered low, 82-120 points is considered medium, and above 120 points is considered high self-care ability. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the individual's self-care power increases. The Cronbach's alpha value of the original scale is 0.89.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Effect of Genital Hygiene Education on the Self-Care Agency and Genital Hygiene Behaviors of Incarcerated Women
Time Frame: one months
preliminary test results Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale (GHDÖ): The Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale, which was developed by Karahan in 2017 and whose validity and reliability were conducted, is a Likert-type scale. It is graded from 5 to 1 from "I completely agree" to "I completely disagree" and consists of 23 statements. The scale has three sub-dimensions: general hygiene (first 12 items), menstrual hygiene (items 13-20), and abnormal finding awareness (items 21-23). In the evaluation of the scale, items 7, 14, 19, 20, and 23 are reverse-coded; the lowest score can be obtained from the scale is 23 and the highest is 115, and women with high scores show that their genital hygiene behavior is good (Karahan, 2017). The Cronbach alpha value of the original scale is 0.80.
