Experimental: Educational Intervention Group ✅
Genital and Menstrual Hygiene Education for Adolescents
|
Participants attended a structured 'Genital and Menstrual Hygiene Education' programme comprising two sessions delivered over the course of a week (two days a week, two hours per session; total duration: four hours).
The training covered the anatomy and physiology of the female genital organs, the menstrual cycle, genital hygiene and factors affecting it, the characteristics of normal and abnormal vaginal discharge, the importance of menstrual hygiene, and personal hygiene practices.
This intervention was specifically designed to improve adolescents' knowledge and behaviour regarding genital and menstrual hygiene.

Genital Hygiene Behaviours
Periodo de tiempo: at baseline (before the intervention), immediately after completion of the intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
The validity and reliability study of the Genital Hygiene Behaviours Scale, which is to be used to determine adolescents' genital hygiene behaviours, was conducted by Karahan (2017).
The scale consists of 23 items and three sub-dimensions (General Hygiene, Menstrual Hygiene and Awareness of Abnormal Findings).
Items 7, 14, 19, 20 and 23 on the scale are reverse-coded.
Higher scores on this five-point Likert-type scale represent more positive menstrual experiences.
Scores range from a minimum of 23 to a maximum of 115 on the scale.
The Cronbach's alpha value for the entire scale was found to be 0.80, whilst the General Hygiene Subscale was 0.70; the Menstrual Hygiene Subscale was 0.74; and the Awareness of Abnormal Findings Subscale was 0.81 (Karahan, 2017).

Menstrual Experiences
Periodo de tiempo: at baseline (before the intervention), immediately after completion of the intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
Menstrual Experiences Scale (MES), which will be used to assess adolescents' menstrual experiences, was developed by Hennegan and colleagues (2020) (Hennegan et al., 2020).
The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the MES were established by Irmak Vural and Varışoğlu (2021).
The scale consists of 27 items and four sub-dimensions (Material and Home Environment Needs, Transport and School Environment Needs, Concerns about Material Reliability, and Insecurity regarding Disposal and Disposal).
Total and subscale scores are calculated using arithmetic means, resulting in scores ranging from 0 to 3. Higher scores indicate more positive menstrual experiences and better meeting of needs related to menstrual care practices.
In the original form of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.77.
In the Turkish version of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha value for the entire scale was found to be 0.78.
