Filter by:More than 3 billion of the worlds population are young people under the age of 25. According to WHO data, one million girls under the age of 15 give birth each year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, and 3 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are exposed to unsafe abortions. Failure to meet the family planning needs of young people in a timely, adequate and appropriate manner can have significant public health impacts. According to World Health Statistics, the global birth rate for girls between 15 and 19 years of age is 49 out of 1000, and early pregnancy and childbirth can lead to serious health and social problems. In addition, this age group does not have sufficient information about pregnancy and its complications, and their access to and utilization of health services is low. Inadequacies in the education of adolescents on sexual issues and sociocultural differences further increase the sexual and reproductive health risks of young people in the university period. Information and services that will enable individuals to understand their sexuality and help them protect themselves from sexual risks should be provided specifically for that age. Therefore, it is important for young people to know family planning methods. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of family planning education to be given with gamification method, which is different from the classical method in the literature, on the knowledge and attitudes of university students.
Fertility means being fertile, that is, having the ability to reproduce. Fertility awareness means that individuals know and avoid the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system, the importance of fertility, fertility options and life habits that negatively affect fertility. Reproductive Life Plans (RLP) are personal goals related to individuals' decisions to have children, when and how to make this decision, focusing on their priorities, current situations and goals.RLP prioritizes preconception care so that individuals can achieve their reproductive goals. This study aimed to examine the effect of RLP training on university students' knowledge and attitudes about fertility and preconception health. The research was designed as a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the research will consist of 1025 senior undergraduate students studying in five faculties and 17 departments of Bartın University in the fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. To determine the number of participants to be included in the research sample, power analysis was performed using the G-Power 3.1.9.7 program. Accordingly, the sample of the study was planned to include a minimum of 160 participants in intervention and control groups, 80 for each group. Firstly, a Preliminary Evaluation Form will be applied to university students to collect the data of the research. Then, students who meet the inclusion criteria will be pre-tested with the Introductory Information Form, Fertility Health Information Scale and Preconceptional Health Information and Attitude Form. After the pre-test is administered, participants will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Participants in the intervention group will be given group training based on the contents of the Reproductive Life Plan Training Booklet (RLPTB) created by the researcher in line with the literature. No intervention will be made to the participants in the control group. After the pre-test is applied to the participants in both groups, the data collection form will be applied again 8 weeks later and the post-test phase of the research will be completed. IBM SPSS 22.0 package program will be used for statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study. The findings will be evaluated at a 5.0% significance level within a 95.0% confidence interval.
This study was planned to determine the effect of music listened to during intrauterine device application on pain,anxiety and satisfaction.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among adult patients who screen positive to one or more risky alcohol or substance use behaviors while seeking care at a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does SBIRT impact patients' alcohol and substance use, SRH, mental health, physical health, quality of life, and wellbeing? - Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and urbanicity? - Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by delivery mode (in-person vs. telemedicine)? Participants will receive in-person SBIRT, telemedicine SBIRT, or usual care. Participants will complete surveys at interviews at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months. Researchers will compare patients who received SBIRT to patients who receive usual care to see if patients who receive the SBIRT intervention have a greater reduction in negative outcomes as compared to those who receive usual care. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.
The goal of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to assess an innovative adolescent pregnancy prevention program among youth that are at the highest risk of adolescent pregnancy, to prevent pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS in the greater Miami area in Florida. The primary research question it aims to answer is: (RQ1a): What is the effect of adding 4.5 hours of Mind Matters trauma-coping skills curriculum to the Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum, on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the students receiving only the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum? (RQ1b): What is the effect of the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the control group receiving only financial literacy? Participants will complete program lessons and complete surveys for data collection. The RCT will assess behavioral health outcomes and other psychological outcomes at four-time points (baseline, post-program, 3 months, and 12 months)
The youth period is a period when information and education are important. Reproductive and sexual health problems have an important place in aging health problems in youth (Gölbaşlı 2003). All over the world, STIs are most common in the 20-24 age group, followed by the 15-19 and 25-29 age groups. STIs are the most common disease in many countries, especially among young people between the ages of 15-29 (Topbaş et al. 2003). STIs, which are one of the factors that negatively affect public health; are infections transmitted from person to person through sexual contact. According to WHO estimates, approximately 350 million people suffer from curable STIs each year, and the incidence and prevalence of STIs among young people in developed and developing countries are increasing. Although young adults are generally at risk, STIs are most common in people aged 15-49. They have a very important place in terms of human health because they are frequently seen, difficult to diagnose, and cause serious complications when not treated. Incomplete and incorrect information among people who start sexual intercourse at an early age causes difficulties in the prevention of these diseases (Özalp et al. 2012). Having sexual intercourse at an early age, being polygamous, having special sexual preferences, being with or having sex with those who have paid for sexual intercourse, and not using condoms are among the risk factors for STIs (Siyez 2009). We can say that the age period in which STIs are common is parallel to sexual activity. In addition to various socio-demographic factors, it is likely that the most provoking issue in this period is the lack of knowledge of young people (Karaköse and Aydın 2011). In the STD guide published by the CDC, it is recommended to evaluate the people who constitute the risk group in the prevention of these diseases and to provide education and counseling (CDC, 2020). In this context, training to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of young people, who are one of the high-risk groups in society in terms of STD, is important in terms of reducing risky sexual behaviors, early diagnosis, and treatment. Based on all these reasons; It is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sexual and reproductive health education given to university students.
The aim of this study is to measure the knowledge and attitude levels of women who play a key role in society on reproductive health and family planning, and to determine the changes in their attitudes and behaviors after face-to-face training with virtual reality application.
This randomized controlled trial was to determine the effect of dry heat applied on foot base of the 65 nursing students on menstrual symptoms and pain. A statistically significant difference was found between the three-day Visual Analog Pain Scale in both intervention and control groups. However, there was no difference between Menstruation Symptom Scale subscale and total score avg of the intervention and control groups. Applying hot pack to the sole of the foot can be expressed as an effective method to reduce pain. However, due to premenstrual syndrome is a complex process, the reduction of pain in the later days of the menstrual cycle in both groups can be psychological or be explained for physiological reasons.
Generation Victoria (GenV) is a longitudinal, population-based study of Victorian children and their parents that will bring together data on a wide range of conditions, exposures and outcomes. GenV blends study-collected, study-enhanced and linked data. It will be multi-purpose, supporting observational, interventional, health services and policy research within the same cohort. It is designed to address physical, mental and social issues experienced during childhood, as well as the antecedents of a wide range of diseases of ageing. It seeks to generate translatable evidence (prediction, prevention, treatments, services) to improve future wellbeing and reduce the future disease burden of children and adults. The GenV Cohort 2020s is open to all babies born over a two-year period, and their parents, residing in the state of Victoria Australia. The GenV Cohort 2020s is preceded by an Advance Cohort of babies born between 5 Dec 2020 and 3 October 2021, and their parents. This comprises all families recruited at GenV's Vanguard hospital (Joan Kirner Women's and Children's) and at birthing hospitals throughout Victoria as GenV scaled up to commence recruiting for the GenV Cohort 2020s. The Advance Cohort have ongoing and full participation in GenV for their lifetime unless they withdraw but may have less complete data and biosamples.
The mobile health clinic evaluation study examines the impact of mobile health clinics on access reproductive and sexual healthcare services in underserved communities. Multiple mobile clinics operating throughout the U.S. are participating by implementing the same evaluation plan for their programs and contributing de-identified data into a shared database. This allows the investigators to both determine the impact of individual programs and to compare and contrast their impact across different programs, states, population densities (rural, urban, suburban), and populations.
