Summary

The aim of our study; To evaluate the effectiveness of different teaching methods on correct pelvic floor muscle contraction in women who have not received pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) before. Women who come to the gynecology and obstetrics clinic for examination and volunteer for the study will be randomized with a computer-aided randomization program and divided into 3 groups. First of all, the pelvic floor muscles will be evaluated by ultrasonographic method and perineometer. The first group will be taught pelvic floor muscle contraction with verbal explanation, the second group will be taught with digital vaginal palpation, and the third group will be taught pelvic floor muscle contraction with the help of a perineometer. After the training, the same evaluations will be made again. The number of individuals to be included in the study will be determined by power analysis. As a result of this study, it will be decided which method can be used to teach pelvic floor muscle contraction to women accurately and effectively in clinics. The results of our study will guide clinicians in their preferences for using different teaching methods.
