Study summary

Supporting adolescents with education about the menstruation process is important in terms of managing the process physically and mentally healthy and gaining lifelong positive health behaviors. Various narrative techniques including visuals, slides and animations are utilized in menstruation education for adolescents. Within the scope of these narrative techniques, technological tools are frequently used for learning purposes in adolescence. In technology-supported education, training that includes visual materials such as animations and multimedia software is very important. Presentations supported by various visuals and texts can be effective in trainings on mentoring. Presentations can appeal to students' visual senses and attract their attention. Animation is one of the technology-based applications that are frequently used in the education of adolescents and support education. The presentation can be animated or non-animated.

Read the detailed description

It is stated that girls experiencing the process without having information about menarche causes negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, sadness and crying. In addition, it is emphasized that girls have difficulties in managing the menstruation process and that they should be supported to manage this process in a healthy way.. In addition, it is stated that adolescents' school absenteeism increases, academic achievement decreases and school dropouts occur due to their inability to manage the menstrual process in the school environment. In this context, it is important to inform and support adolescents about the problems experienced during menstruation and coping techniques. It is reported that adolescents' early adoption of correct knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards the menstruation process will positively affect physiological and psychological health, body image and healthy sexual identity formation.

Supporting adolescents with education about the menstruation process is important in terms of managing the process in a physically and mentally healthy way and gaining lifelong positive health behaviors. In mentoring education for adolescents, various visual, slide and animation narrative techniques are used. Within the scope of these expression techniques, technological tools are frequently used for learning purposes in adolescence. In technology-supported education, trainings that include visual materials such as animations and multimedia software are very important. Presentations supported by various visuals and texts can be effective in trainings on mentoring. Presentations can appeal to students' visual senses and attract their attention. Animation is one of the technology-based applications that are frequently used in the education of adolescents and support education. The presentation can be animated or non-animated. Animation is "the act of animating successive frames of connected movement within a period of seconds". It is stated that the use of animation in the education process concretizes complex subjects, increases retention, provides a fun learning experience, facilitates the learning of complex and difficult concepts, reinforces learning by emphasizing visuality, and is effective in drawing attention to the subject. In studies conducted on adolescent students, animation-supported education programs are reported to be more effective than presentation-supported lectures. In this context, it is important to provide animation-supported trainings to adolescents by health professionals.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Knowledge Test

    This knowledge test was developed by Gümüş (2024) to measure the knowledge level of middle school students about menstruation. In the knowledge test, "1 point" was given for a correct answer and "0 point" for an incorrect answer. The Kuder-Richardson (KR-20) value was found to be 0.563 to determine the internal consistency of the knowledge test.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of education at 2 weeks
