Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of education provided to adolescents living in a container city, tailored to their needs regarding genital and menstrual hygiene, on their genital hygiene behaviours and menstrual experiences. The training is planned to consist of a total of two sessions (four hours), with each session lasting two hours, held twice a week (Saturdays and Sundays), with a maximum of 15 adolescent girls in each group. The training schedule will be determined based on the days and times suitable for the adolescents. In addition, a copy of the educational material prepared for the training will be provided to each adolescent girl. Appropriate interactive educational techniques (demonstration, role-play, question-and-answer, brainstorming, games, etc.) relevant to the topic will be used in each session of the educational program. Prior to the education, the adolescent girls will be asked to complete the Demographic Characteristics Form, the Genital Hygiene Behaviour Scale (GHDÖ) and the Menstrual Experiences Scale (MDÖ) based on self-reports. Following the final session of the education programme, these adolescent girls will be asked to complete these forms again. Finally, following the collection of the final test data, follow-up data will be collected from the adolescents at the end of the third month.
