The effect of a training program on women's health promotion and protective behaviors: A randomised controlled study

This was a randomised controlled study to investigate the effect of a "HASCV-R" training program on the health-promoting and protective behaviors of women. The study included a total of 90 women, including control group (n:45) and experimental group (n:45). Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire form, "General health behaviors for reproductive health protection sub dimension of determination of married women's reproductive health protective attitudes scale (RHPAS)" and "Health Promoting and Protective Behaviours Scale (HPPBS)". After the training program, there was an increase in the scores of the women in the experimental group in the general health behaviours sub-dimension of the RHPAS for protecting reproductive health, the total score of the HPPBS and the Psychosocial and Protection sub-dimension of the HPPBS. According to the findings of the study, a training program was found to be effective on women's health promoting and protective behaviours.
