Overview
In order to determine the effect of education provided through social media on the knowledge and attitudes of women of childbearing age during the preconceptional period and its relationship with healthy lifestyle behaviors, a randomized controlled pre-test and post-test design and control group was planned. The research universe will consist of women of childbearing age who applied to Ümraniye Education and Research Hospital, agreed to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria (N: 80). In this randomized controlled pre-test and post-test design and control group study, in order to determine the sample size; the data were normally distributed, the standard deviation of the main mass was estimated as 1 and the effect size (difference) was estimated as 0.8. For the analysis to be conducted, it was calculated that the highest power value of the study would be 0.942182 if two independent n₁=40, n₂=40 samples were taken at a significance level of 5%. The G-power analysis result is given below. In addition, after the data collection, the adequacy of the sample size in the study will be evaluated with a post hoc power analysis. Women who volunteer to participate in the study will be assigned to the intervention and control groups using a computer-aided simple random sampling method. Computer-aided randomization will be used in the study, and the number of cases will be entered through the program with the URL address https://www.randomizer.org and random assignment will be made to the intervention and control groups. Preconceptional period education will be provided to the women in the intervention group via social media. No application will be made to the control group.
