The aim of this study was to determine the effect of education on adolescents' knowledge of menstrual characteristics and treatment-seeking behaviors.
This quasi-experimental study was conducted on a total of 509 adolescents. Before and after the education, data were collected with structured questionnaire forms at 3-month intervals. The average age of the adolescents who participated in our study was 15.75±1.28 years.
It was found that the treatment-seeking behavior of adolescents who stated that they had heavy and very heavy menstrual bleeding increased significantly after the education. Except for the duration and perception of menstrual bleeding and the number of days of heavy menstruation, those who reported that their menstrual bleeding deviated from normal in all other cases were significantly more likely to consult a physician.
It was determined that the education given to adolescents increased their awareness of the menstrual characteristics and treatment-seeking behaviors of those who reported heavy and very heavy menstrual bleeding.
本研究旨在确定教育对青少年月经特征知识及就医行为的影响。
本准实验研究共纳入509名青少年。在教育前后,每隔3个月用结构化问卷收集数据。参与本研究的青少年平均年龄为15.75±1.28岁。
发现表示有大量及极大量月经出血的青少年在接受教育后就医行为显著增加。除了月经出血的持续时间、感知以及大量月经的天数外,在所有其他月经出血偏离正常情况的青少年中,咨询医生的可能性显著更高。
确定对青少年进行的教育提高了他们对报告有大量及极大量月经出血者的月经特征及就医行为的认识。
