Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, evlilik öncesi Cinsel Sağlık/Üreme Sağlığı Eğitiminin yeni evli kadının bilgi düzeyi, evlilik uyumu ve cinsel memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu desene dayanan deneysel bir araştırmadır. Çalışma 149 kadınla yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın ön testinde, deney grubunun Cinsel Konular ile İlgili Bilgi Düzeyine İlişkin Değerlendirme Formu toplam puanı 65.19 ± 9.88, kontrol grubunun toplam puanı 63.33 ± 11.51 olup toplam puanların gruplar arasında benzer olduğu görülmüştür. Son test toplam puanının deney grubunda (74.08 ± 11.98) kontrol grubuna (62.33 ± 12.57) göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Deney ve kontrol gruplarındaki kadınların Evlilik Uyum Ölçeği, Golombok-Rust Cinsel Doyum Ölçeği - Kadın Formu ve Evliliğe Yönelik İnanç ve Tutumlar Ölçeği; Sağlık İnanç Modeli toplam puanları arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.
Sonuç: Evlilik öncesi eğitimin kadınların cinsel konulardaki bilgi düzeylerinin artırılmasında etkili olduğu ancak dört aylık dönemde evlilik uyumlarını ve cinsel doyumlarını etkilemediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
