The study was conducted to investigate the effect of a training program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model on improving genital hygiene behaviors.It was carried out using experimental research design with pre-test and post-test, randomized and a control group. The study was conducted at Erzurum Saltuklu Family Health Center between June 2017 and January 2018. Of the women with genital infections, 120 women were included in the study, of which 60 were in the experimental group and 60 were in the control group. The data were collected by "Personal Information Form," "Genital Hygiene Knowledge, Attitude and Beliefs, Questionnaire" and "Genital Hygiene Behavior Inventory". In study, genital hygiene training intervention prepared according to the Precede-Proceed model was applied to the women in the experimental group. The women in the experimental group were measured at three different times: pre-test before training, post-test through training completition, and follow-up test after 4 weeks. The women in the control group did not receive any training intervention, the pre-test at the first encounter in the family health center and the post-test 5 weeks later.
