    The effect of individual counseling intervention on health practices in pregnancy: a randomized controlled trial
    Sezer, G; Sen, S
    This research was carried out to determine the effect of individual counseling intervention on health practices in pregnancy. This research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental and follow-up design. Population of the research consisted of 126 pregnant women in total, with 64 of them being in the training group and 64 being in the control group. The research data were collected by using a 'Pregnant Identifying Information Form' and 'Health Practices in Pregnancy Questionnaire (HPQ)'. In this research, it was found that there was no significant difference in total score average of the HPQ before the individual counseling training between the pregnant women in the training and control groups (P > 0.05). It was also determined that there was a statistically significant difference in total score average of the HPQ after the individual counseling training during the second trimester between the two groups (P < 0 .05). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in total score average of the HPQ during the third trimester between two groups (P < 0.05). It has been determined that the training provided with individual counseling to pregnant women is an effective initiative in increasing the health practices of pregnant women.

    The effect of training on women with postpartum sexual dysfunction: A randomized controlled trial
    Bolsoy, N; Sen, S; Sezer, G; Cakil, M
    Background: In the postpartum period, changes including pain during intercourse, lack of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, and failure to reach orgasm can affect a woman's sexual response cycle. Aim: This research aimed to determine the effect of midwifery training on postpartum sexual dysfunction among primiparous women. Subjects and Methods: This research using a single-blind randomized controlled experimental and follow-up design. The sample consisted of 70 women, divided equally into training and control groups. Research data were collected using an information form, the Female Sexual Function Index and the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale. In the first phase of our study, 306 primiparous women were interviewed. Results: The mean Female Sexual Function Index score of the women was 25.18 +/- 5.47 and 40.2% reported sexual dysfunction. When comparing the training and control groups before training, the total score average of the ASEX was 10.48 +/- 2.13 in the training group and 11.06 +/- 3.86 in the control group. The average score in the post-training was higher in the group given education (22.45 +/- 2.17) than in the control group (17.08 +/- 3.92) and this difference was significant (p = 0.000). It was determined that 42% of the change in the third follow-up scores of pregnant women in the training group could be explained by the education session they received. Conclusion: Our data showed a positive change in the sexual dysfunction scores of women, suggesting the education program was successful.
