Filling in the second post-test questionnaire online in the 6th month after both groups filled out the pre-test questionnaire. |

The same questions regarding the gynecological examination included in the posttest questionnaire, which must be completed within the first 6 months after the pretest is completed. |

The State and Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered again in the 6th month to 68 people who were posttested in the first 3 months. |

While 20-39 indicates mild anxiety, 40-59 moderate and 60-79 severe anxiety, 80 points are considered as panic. The minimum value to be taken from the state anxiety scale is "0" and the maximum value is "80". The minimum value to be taken from the trait anxiety scale is "0" and the maximum value is "80". As the score increases, the level of anxiety also increases |

Online training and counseling about gynecological examination was applied to the experimental group. No counseling or training was given to the control group. Trainings on gynecological examination were carried out in 3 sessions by determining the days and hours that women are suitable for via Google Meet. The trainings were carried out in groups of 4-6 people. The women in the experimental and control groups who will come for the examination were reached in advance and information was obtained about when they would come, and they went to the gynecology outpatient clinic on the day they would come for the check-up. The post-test form was applied to the participants face to face and the form was filled by the participant himself. The post-test form included attitude questions about gynecological examination. |
The pre-test implementation phase was completed in 9 months. This process took a total of 1 year, since the last test was applied to the last participants within the 3rd month. |
