Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in HPV Knowledge Score
Change in participants' HPV Knowledge Scale scores measured at baseline, first follow-up, and final follow-up. The measure evaluates the effect of the online education and brochure intervention compared to the control group.
Baseline (before intervention), 2 weeks after brochure delivery (first follow-up), and 8 weeks after the first follow-up (final follow-up)
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Sustained HPV Knowledge Score (Knowledge Retention)
Knowledge retention will be assessed by comparing HPV Knowledge Scale scores between groups at the final follow-up. Higher scores indicate better long-term retention of information provided by the intervention.
Study Arms (1)
Online Education Intervention Group
EXPERIMENTALAn online training session will be scheduled for the intervention group. The training will consist of two 40-minute session. After the online training, the training materials will be shared with the group. One week after the training, an informational brochure prepared on the topic will be sent to the intervention group via WhatsApp as a reminder, and any questions they may have will be answered. Two weeks after delivering the brochure, the questionnaire/scale forms will be administered to both groups as the first follow-up. Eight weeks after the first follow-up, the same forms will be administered again as the post-test. The WhatsApp group will remain open and interaction will be allowed throughout the research period.
