Pregnancy is an important process with many changes in a woman's life. During this period, the sexual lives of couples may be affected due to anatomical, physiological and psychological changes. While sexual intercourse during pregnancy strengthens the harmony between spouses, emotional bond, and self-confidence of the woman, its role is important in terms of the continuation of the marriage.
The development of technology in the world and in our country has led to an increase in the use of mobile devices. The emergence of telehealth and mobile applications with the Covid-19 pandemic has enabled individuals to access information whenever they want and more easily.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mobile application support given to pregnant women for sexual health on sexual function and quality of sexual life.
It is planned to develop a mobile application in this direction by preparing a guide, with the foresight that sexuality during pregnancy is not an easily expressed subject and that pregnant women and health workers need training materials. After the power analysis, it is aimed to reach a total of 70 people, 35 in the experimental group and 35 in the control group. Data will be collected with Personal Information Form, Female Sexual Function Index, Sexual Life Quality Scale and Qualitative Interview Form.
Based on the developed guide and mobile application, training will be given to pregnant women in the first, second and third trimesters, and it is thought that the mobile application support specific to sexual health during pregnancy may contribute to increasing sexual function and sexual life quality.
