Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of education on adolescents' knowledge of menstrual characteristics and treatment-seeking behaviors.
Methods:
This quasi-experimental study was conducted on a total of 509 adolescents. Before and after the education, data were collected with structured questionnaire forms at 3-month intervals. The average age of the adolescents who participated in our study was 15.75±1.28 years.
Results:
It was found that the treatment-seeking behavior of adolescents who stated that they had heavy and very heavy menstrual bleeding increased significantly after the education. Except for the duration and perception of menstrual bleeding and the number of days of heavy menstruation, those who reported that their menstrual bleeding deviated from normal in all other cases were significantly more likely to consult a physician.
Conclusion:
It was determined that the education given to adolescents increased their awareness of the menstrual characteristics and treatment-seeking behaviors of those who reported heavy and very heavy menstrual bleeding.
