Abstract
In this study, the aim is to examine the effect of training given according to the health promotion model on the women's reproductive health attitudes and self-efficacy. The research was carried out as pretest-posttest, with control group and semi-experimental. The population of the research consists of 3528 women, the sample consists of 120 women determined by power analysis. The pre-test data were collected with "Personal Information Form", "Determining of the Reproductive Health Protective Attitudes Scale (RHPAS)" and "General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)". Afterwards, women in the experimental group received a 3-month group training structured according to the health promotion model. The RHPAS total score means of the women in the experimental group, which was 129.67±16.190 before training, increased to 150.23±16.492 after training (p <0.05). In the experimental group, the total score means of the RHPAS post-test was found to be significantly higher than the control group (p <0.001). No significant difference was found between the GSE pretest-posttest post-test total mean scores of the women in the experimental and control groups. (p>0.05). The training provided according to the Health Promotion Model affected women's reproductive health attitudes but did not affect their self-efficacy.
