Clinical Trial Summary
The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of online interactive education
provided to newly married couples via a web-based platform on fertility awareness.Since
fertility awareness is a relatively new field of research, there are limited studies on this
subject. These studies are generally given to women. But the concept of fertility in question
concerns not only women but also men.The study conducted via web-based online interactive
video developed to raise awareness about fertility; It is thought that raising the awareness
of newly married couples, regulating fertility, and including men in this issue are important
for public health and will set an example for future studies.The positive outcomes from
Webb-based online videos will enable the application to be used on national and international
platforms.
Description:
Fertility awareness is an understanding that enables individuals to be informed about their
reproductive health, fertility cycle and reproductive systems. This understanding enables
individuals to gain awareness about their reproductive capacity, fertile periods, sexual
health and family planning. Increasing fertility awareness will contribute to increasing the
general health and welfare of both individuals and society.Since fertility awareness is a
relatively new field of research, there are limited studies on this subject. These studies
are generally aimed at women. However, the concept of fertility in question concerns not only
women but also men. Individuals who are about to get married have a very important place in
processing fertility awareness. The high interest in premarital sexuality, labor and birth,
and the motivation for education on this subject make it important for it to be considered as
a "missed opportunity" during the application period for marriage procedures. No study has
been found in the literature on the development of fertility awareness, including the period
of application for marriage. It is expected that the research to be conducted will contribute
to the literature in terms of filling the gap in this field, obtaining new data and guiding
new strategies to be created.Since information about fertility mostly involves confidential
issues, individuals cannot talk about this subject comfortably and cannot obtain information.
At the same time, the formation and development of fertility awareness includes individual
behavioral changes. Therefore, the education given to couples can be used continuously and in
the long term. For such reasons, people prefer online educational materials. Online training
helps people feel more comfortable, remain anonymous while learning about these topics, and
progress according to their learning pace. Web-based platforms contribute to individuals'
awareness of fertility awareness and making healthy decisions by being an effective tool in
reaching large audiences, being low-cost and easily accessible, and offering independence of
time and place.
The research is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study conducted to
evaluate the effect of online interactive education given to couples applying for marriage
via a web-based platform on fertility awareness. It is planned to be conducted with 70
couples (experimental group: 35 couples, control group: 35 couples) who applied to the
marriage office of Kecioren Municipality. Couples who apply to the registry office and agree
to participate in the research will be asked to fill out the Introductory Information Form,
Fertility Awareness Scale and Fertility Health Information Scale. Afterwards, these couples
will be randomized and assigned to experimental and control groups. Training content will be
created for the couples assigned to the experimental group.After receiving expert opinions on
the training content, interactive videos will be prepared via the website httpp://h5ptr.org/.
In these interactive videos; It is planned to have 4 modules: anatomy and physiology of the
male and female reproductive system, family planning method based on fertility awareness,
modern family planning method and factors affecting fertility. While watching these videos,
there will be fill-in-the-blank, true-false, and multiple choice questions at certain parts
of the videos. If participants answer the questions incorrectly, they will be directed to the
section in the video where the answer to the question is found. A website will be prepared
for couples to access these interactive videos. The address of this website and the
educational content will be sent as an online file to the couples' phones or e-mails.
Participants will be asked to complete these trainings within 2 weeks at most and before the
wedding. After the training is completed and 1 month after the wedding, participants will
fill out the Fertility Awareness Scale and Fertility Health Information Scale via an online
survey (Google FormsĀ®). No intervention will be made to the participants in the control
group. Before the wedding and one month after the wedding, participants will fill out the
Fertility Awareness Scale and Fertility Health Information Scale via an online survey (Google
FormsĀ®). In this way, the effect of the online interactive training we have implemented on
the fertility awareness of couples applying for marriage will be evaluated. After the data
collection tools are completed, the analysis and reporting part will be carried out.
Statistical analyzes will be performed using Statistical Package of SocialSciences 27.0
package program. Shapiro-Wilk test, Chi-square test, dependent and independent group t test,
Mann Whitney U test will be used in the analysis.
In the research conducted through web-based online interactive video developed to raise
awareness about fertility; It is thought that raising the awareness of newly married couples,
regulating fertility and including men in this issue are important for public health and will
set an example for future studies. The positive results obtained from web-based online videos
will enable the application to be used on national and international platforms.
