Clinical Trial Summary
Preconceptional (pre-pregnancy) care; It is a primary care preventive health service that
aims to prepare individuals for pregnancy, to maintain and result in a healthy pregnancy
process, and thus to contribute to the formation of new generations from healthier
individuals. The purpose of preconceptional care; identifying the risk factors present in the
woman is to eliminate or reduce the adverse effects of these risk factors in the pregnancy
process, improve health, improve mother and child health in the short and long term.
Preconception counseling (PC), on the other hand, is to provide training on the best way to
achieve a healthy pregnancy by addressing women's existing health problems and modifiable
risk factors. When performing PC and care, it is necessary to maintain a system based on
evidence and to assess women's holistic and create risk awareness. The creation of risk
awareness in women should begin with the determination of the risk factors present before
pregnancy. It is also very important to identify pre-pregnancy risk factors and to provide
healthy lifestyle behaviors. Today, web-based training is known to be used to adapt
individuals to new situations and to improve the health of individuals, to improve positive
behavior changes.This research was conducted to determine the effect of web-based
preconceptional care and counseling on risk awareness and healthy lifestyle behavior in
women.
Description:
Planning fertility with evidence-based management while providing preconceptional care and
counseling; advanced maternal and paternal age; family history, genetic history and diseases;
physical activity, body mass index; nutrition; vaccination; sexually transmitted infections;
chronic diseases; drugs ;harmful habits and exposure; Psychosocial sub-dimensions of women
should be evaluated holistically and risk awareness should be created.As a matter of fact,
creating risk awareness in women should start with the identification of risk factors that
exist before pregnancy. It is possible to gain healthy lifestyle behaviors with the
determination of these risk factors and taking the necessary precautions.Studies have shown
that preconception care and counseling services provide cost-effectiveness while improving
maternal and child health; It is emphasized that health institutions that are inadequate in
providing this service should develop strategies to encourage preconceptional care and
counseling at the community level, especially for women.Recommendations of reputable
organizations such as CDC, ACOG, WHO; It has been concluded that preconceptional care and
counseling services should be expanded more effectively and quickly in line with the results
and recommendations of the researches; It is thought that this widespread effect can be
achieved by using the internet and web-based trainings, which are a part of our lives.It is
reported in the literature that web-based trainings are seen as an appropriate intervention
area in reaching women of childbearing age who need preconceptional care and
counseling.Although there are studies in the world that web-based PC and care services are
provided and that they affect health positively; No studies on web-based PC and maintenance
services have been found in our country.The results obtained from this study; establishing a
comprehensive evidence-based standard PC and maintenance program; improving risk awareness
and healthy lifestyle behaviors of women of childbearing age; It is thought that it will lead
to the encouragement of the use of modern technology areas in the field of PC and care
services, to the development of all health personnel, especially midwives, who want to
provide comprehensive services in this field, to use web-based PC and maintenance program in
field applications, and to contribute to the midwifery literature in the planning of advanced
studies. .
