Official title
A RANDOMİZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Overview
Menstruation after menarche is a multidimensional experience affecting adolescents' quality of life, school attendance, and psychological adjustment. Educational and awareness-based interventions improve menstrual knowledge, attitudes, and coping behaviors; however, randomized controlled trials evaluating hybrid body awareness-based interventions are limited. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a hybrid body awareness-based intervention on menstrual symptoms, menstrual attitudes, and self-regulation levels in post-menarche adolescent girls.
Detailed description
Menstrual experience in adolescence includes physiological, cognitive, and emotional components. Negative menstrual attitudes have been associated with increased symptom perception and poorer coping strategies. Educational interventions have been shown to improve menstrual health awareness and behaviors.
Body awareness and self-regulation are psychological constructs that may influence menstrual experience and symptom management. However, there is a lack of randomized controlled trials examining hybrid (face-to-face and online) body awareness-based interventions targeting menstrual outcomes.
This randomized controlled study will evaluate the effectiveness of a 4-week hybrid body awareness-based intervention program on menstrual symptoms, menstrual attitudes, and self-regulation levels in adolescent girls within 1-2 years after menarche.
