This study aims to examine the effect of video-assisted genital hygiene education on women's self-care agency and genital hygiene behaviors. It is designed as a single-blind, randomized controlled experimental study.
This single-blind, randomized controlled experimental study is designed to assess the impact of video-assisted genital hygiene education on women's self-care agency and genital hygiene behaviors. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. Data will be collected using validated self-report instruments at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and during follow-up.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental Groups | Experimental | Experimental Group; the women in the experimental group were provided with the relevant forms and asked to complete the Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for the pretest. Afterward, they received information about the importance of genital hygiene, key points to consider during genital hygiene, and watched a training video developed by the researchers. This video demonstrated genital hygiene practices on a human model, with the researcher explaining and demonstrating the steps in a practical manner. Following the video training, participants completed the same forms again (Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale) for the midterm test. To assess the long-term effects of the training, the participants were asked to complete the same forms 8 weeks after the training. |
|
| Control Groups | No Intervention | Control Group; the women in the control group were informed about the forms and asked to complete the Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for the pretest. They were also informed about the importance of genital hygiene and key points to consider, but no video-assisted training was provided. The control group filled out the same forms for the midterm and posttest assessments, at the same times as the experimental group. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Care Agency Level | Self-care agency will be assessed using the Self-Care Agency Scale, developed by Kearney and Fleischer (1979) and validated in Turkish by Nahcivan (2004). The scale consists of 35 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4), with a total score range of 0 to 140. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-care agency. | Baseline (Pretest, Week 1), immediately after the intervention (Posttest, Week 2), and 3-month follow-up |
| Genital Hygiene Behaviors | Genital hygiene behaviors will be measured using the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale, validated by Karahan (2017). The scale includes 23 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1-5), with total scores ranging from 23 to 115. Higher scores indicate more positive genital hygiene behaviors. | Baseline (Pretest, Week 1), immediately after the intervention (Posttest, Week 2), and 3-month follow-up |
