Brief Summary:
The concept of genital self-image first emerged alongside genital identity Womens perceptions of their genital self encompass their feelings and subjective thoughts about their sexual organs One of the most significant problems resulting from a negative genital self-image is sexual health It has been reported that genital self-perception and self-image are related to sexual health Another study that examined the effects of viewing various vulvar photographs on womens genital attitudes found that women had relatively positive genital self-images before viewing the photographs but their perceptions became even more positive after viewing them This study aims to examine the impact of education on genital appearance satisfaction and sexual quality of life in women with low genital self-image It is hypothesized that women with low genital self-image who receive education will have more knowledge about genital anatomy which will positively influence their genital appearance genital self-image and consequently improve their sexual quality of life
The study is a randomized controlled experimental research The research will be conducted women aged 18-49 years with low genital self-image who are registered at a Family Health Center FHC Data collection tools in the study will include a socio-demographic data form prepared by the researchers the Genital Self-Image Scale the Genital Appearance Satisfaction Scale and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale The SPSS 240 software package is planned to be used for data analysis Descriptive statistics such as mean standard deviation number and percentage will be used in the analysis of the quantitative data The normality of the data distribution will be assessed and parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied based on the distribution Additionally regression analyses will be used to evaluate the effect and a significance level of 005 will be accepted for the entire study

Detailed Description:
The concept of genital self-image first emerged alongside genital identity Much of the research on self-image has focused on womens attitudes towards beauty weight and skin color often excluding issues related to genitalvaginal self-image Womens perceptions of their genital self encompass their feelings and subjective thoughts about their sexual organs The appearance and function of the genital area form the basis of genital self-image for women Many women lack knowledge about certain anatomical features of their genital area which is often seen as a taboo subject This taboo can lead to women perceiving their genital organs as foreigns or unknowns Although women generally report moderately positive genital self-perceptions many are dissatisfied with their sexual organs in general or with one or more aspects of them at some point in their lives
One of the most significant problems resulting from a negative genital self-image is sexual health It has been reported that genital self-perception and self-image are related to sexual health Sexual quality of life which is a component of overall quality of life is generally defined as how satisfied an individual is with their sexual life It is thought that satisfaction with genital appearance and genital self-image can affect sexual quality of life One study found that an increase in genital self-image was associated with an increase in sexual quality of life Another study discovered that genital self-image was strongly related to sexual functionality and satisfaction In a different study women with a negative genital self-image were found to have more body and genital self-consciousness less sexual pleasure lower sexual esteem less sexual functionality and fewer experiences with various sexual activities The continuation of this taboo and the lack of knowledge about womens genital appearances can lead to numerous problems It has been suggested that education aimed at addressing these knowledge gaps could improve perceptions of genital appearance A study investigating the effectiveness of a video education on genital appearance found that it significantly improved womens perceptions and awareness of genital diversity and resulted in a small but significant decrease in genital appearance dissatisfaction Another study that examined the effects of viewing various vulvar photographs on womens genital attitudes found that women had relatively positive genital self-images before viewing the photographs but their perceptions became even more positive after viewing them
This study aims to investigate the impact of education on genital appearance satisfaction and sexual quality of life in women with low genital self-image It is hypothesized that women with low genital self-image who receive education will have more knowledge about genital anatomy which will positively influence their genital appearance genital self-image and consequently improve their sexual quality of life

Aim This study aims to examine the impact of education on genital appearance satisfaction and sexual quality of life in women with low genital self-image
Research Hypotheses
H1a The education provided to women with low genital self-image has no effect on genital appearance satisfaction
H1b The education provided to women with low genital self-image has an effect on genital appearance satisfaction
H2a The education provided to women with low genital self-image has no effect on sexual quality of life
H2b The education provided to women with low genital self-image has an effect on sexual quality of life
Research Overview The study is a randomized controlled experimental research
The research will be conducted on women aged 18-49 years with low genital self-image registered at the Family Health Center FHC Turkey The research population consists of women registered at the FHC in the specified province The sample includes women aged 18-49 years with low genital self-image determined by the Genital Self-Image Scale The sample size will be determined using the Genital Self-Image Scale
Based on a similar study a Power analysis GPower 31 determined a minimum of 30 participants each for the intervention and control groups totaling 60 participants considering an effect size of 098 a 005 margin of error and 005 significance Given potential losses the study plans to include 80 participants 40 in each group Participants were assigned to intervention and control groups using simple randomization The intervention group will receive a 3-week training session with each session lasting 30-45 minutes
Study Groups There will be two groups control and intervention Women scoring 21 or below on the Genital Self-Image Scale will form the groups Participants were assigned to intervention and control groups using simple randomization with the httpbiostatappsinonuedutrRAY program Data collection tools will include a socio-demographic data form prepared by the researchers the Genital Self-Image Scale the Genital Appearance Satisfaction Scale and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale Participants will be informed about the studys purpose and content and those meeting the inclusion criteria will provide verbal and written informed consent
Data Collection Pre-test data will be collected face-to-face at the FHC Post-test data will be collected four weeks after the interventions for the intervention group and four weeks after the pre-test for the control group Follow-up data will be collected three months later through face-to-face interviews
Nursing Intervention
An educational booklet will be prepared and training will be conducted over three weeks with three sessions each week The training sessions will cover
1 Anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system including sexual organs
2 Normal genital appearance and changes in the genital area during different life stages adolescence fertility menopause
3 Information on genital appearance satisfaction and perceptions Participants will be encouraged to ask questions Post-training and three months later participants will fill out the survey and scales again
Intervention Group Women in the intervention group will receive three weeks of training sessions lasting 30-45 minutes each The intervention group will complete pre-test scales before the training and post-test scales four weeks after the training
Variables Dependent Variables Scores from the Genital Appearance Satisfaction Scale Genital Self-Image Scale and Sexual Quality of Life Scale
Independent Variable The training provided to women with low genital self-image
Control Variables Characteristics such as age education level occupation economic status BMI and smoking and alcohol use as well as aspects related to sexual life
Data Analysis Data analysis will use SPSS 240 Descriptive statistics such as mean standard deviation number and percentage will be used The normality of the data distribution will be assessed and parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied accordingly Cronbachs alpha coefficients will be calculated for the scales used Differences between groups will be analyzed and post hoc tests will be used if necessary Regression analyses will evaluate the effect with a significance level of 005 for the entire study
Ethical Considerations Ethical approval was obtained from the İnönü University Non-Interventional Clinical Research and Publication Ethics Committee Institutional permissions were also secured for conducting the research
