ÖĞRETİLEBİLİR ZİHİNSEL ENGELLİ KIZ ERGENLERE VERİLEN MENSTRUASYON HİJYEN EĞİTİMİNİN ETKİNLİĞİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Amaç: Öğretilebilir zihinsel engelli kız ergenlere verilen menstruasyon hijyen eğitiminin etkinliğinin değerlendirmektir. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma pre-post test yarı deneysel çalışma olarak yürütüldü. Araştırma Ankara il merkezinde bir Özel Eğitim İş Uygulama Merkezinde (Okulu) bulunan öğretilebilir zihinsel engelli ergen (ÖZEE) kız öğrencilerle yapıldı. Çalışma 25 ÖZEE ile tamamlandı. Verileri “tanıtıcı bilgi formu” ve “menstruasyon beceri değerlendirme formu” aracılığıyla toplandı. Araştırmacılar tarafından katılımcılara hijyenik ped değiştirme becerisi kazandırmak için eğitim verildi. Eğitim öncesi ve sonrası kız öğrencilerin ped değiştirme becerileri izlendi. İzlemler eğitimden bir ay sonra ve altı ay sonra yapıldı. Veriler bilgisayar ortamında değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamındaki ÖZEE yaş ortalamalarının 16,56±1,00 (14-18), hepsinin adet gördüğü (25 kişi), adet olma durumlarının normal döngüde olduğu belirlendi. Eğitim öncesi ped değiştirme becerisi ortanca puanı 16,00 (Min: 0- Maks: 36), eğitim sonrası birinci izlemde 36,00 (Min: 22- Maks: 36), ikinci izlemde 36,00 (Min: 24- Maks: 36) olup fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p

DETERMINATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF MENSTRUATION HYGIENE TRAINING GIVEN TO TRAINABLE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY ADOLESCENT GIRLS

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of menstruation hygiene training given to trainableintellectual disability adolescent girls.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study. It wascarried out with educable intellectual disability adolescent girls attending a Special Education and ApplicationCenter (School) located in the central county of Ankara province. The study was completed with 25participants. Data were collected through a “personal information form” and “menstrual skills assessmentform”. The researchers given education to participants to gain sanitary pad replacement skills. The menstrualpad replacement skills of them were followed before and after the training. The follow-ups were extended tothe first and the sixth month after the training. Data were evaluated by computer.Results: The mean age of the participants in the study was 16.56 ± 1.00 (14-18). All of them had already gotperiods. Their menstrual process was found to be in the normal cycle. The median score for pre-interventionalpad replacement skill was 16.00 (minimum: 0- maximum: 36). The post-interventional score for the firstfollow-up was 36.00 (minimum: 22- maximum: 36), it was 36.00 (minimum: 24- maximum: 36) in the secondfollow-up, and the difference was found strong evidence in support of the alternative hypothesis (p
