Providing Hygiene Education Using the Teach-back Method to Pregnant Women Diagnosed With Urinary Tract Infections

Summary

This study proves that the hygiene education given to pregnant women diagnosed with tract infection by explaining what they have learned increases the duration of genital health, thus ensuring the positive health development of women and protecting and improving their health. At the same time, it is aimed to inform the professional "tell what you have learned" method and to guide the practices of those working in the field of health. The research will be conducted in a randomized control design with a pretest-posttest control group. The population of the research will consist of pregnant women who were followed up in the relevant hospital and who met the inclusion criteria on the dates the research was conducted. The number of samples for the study was determined as 36 participants, 18 in each group. While hygiene training will be given to the intervention group using the tell-what-you-learned method, no training will be given to the control group. Personal Information Form and Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale will be used as data collection tools in the research. Data will be collected at the first encounter, day 7, day 21, and day 30. In evaluating the data, the suitability of the variables to normal distribution will be examined using visual analytical methods. When comparing application results within and between groups, parametric or nonparametric tests will be used depending on whether they show a normal distribution or not, and t test or Mann-Withney U Test will be used to compare the difference between two groups. Wilcoxon test will be used to analyze pre- and post-intervention results within the same group. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05. When the literature is examined, there are studies on different health education plans for women diagnosed with urinary tract infection during pregnancy, but since there is no research on the tell-what-you-learned method, it is an original study, and at the same time, the previous knowledge levels of pregnant women diagnosed with UTI were learned and the effect of the education given on their behavior was examined. It is thought that this teaching method will contribute positively to the knowledge level and behavior of women.
