Brief Summary

Sexual health is an integral component of individuals' physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. Lack of knowledge and cultural taboos negatively affect individuals' ability to make informed decisions and adopt protective behaviors. Therefore, effective sexual health education is of great importance. The flipped learning method, a student-centered approach, promotes active participation and long-term learning. This study aimed to examine the effect of sexual health education delivered through the flipped learning method on university students' sexual health knowledge levels and sexual health literacy.

Study Arms (2)

Flipped Classroom

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention group received a structured sexual health education program based on a flipped classroom approach. The program was supported by videos, reading materials, and digital presentations during the pre-learning phase; synchronous sessions utilized active learning methods such as case discussions, role-playing, and group activities. The training was conducted weekly for 10 weeks as 90-minute online sessions.

Behavioral: Flipped learning

CONTROL

NO INTERVENTION

Students in the control group received the same sexual health curriculum using traditional teaching methods. Instruction was delivered through question-and-answer sessions and synchronous online classes; 10 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, were matched to the session durations of the intervention group.

Interventions

Flipped learning BEHAVIORAL

Students in this group will be offered a sexual health education programme developed in line with structured learning objectives and organised according to the flipped learning approach. The training will be supported by video lectures, reading materials and digital presentations during the pre-learning phase, while active learning strategies such as case discussions, role-playing and group activities will be implemented in synchronous sessions. The training will be conducted over a total of 10 weeks, with 90-minute online sessions held once a week. All content will be prepared by researchers and subject matter experts, and content validity will be ensured.
