Sponsor's own description

Fertility means being fertile, that is, having the ability to reproduce. Fertility awareness means that individuals know and avoid the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system, the importance of fertility, fertility options and life habits that negatively affect fertility. Reproductive Life Plans (RLP) are personal goals related to individuals' decisions to have children, when and how to make this decision, focusing on their priorities, current situations and goals.RLP prioritizes preconception care so that individuals can achieve their reproductive goals. This study aimed to examine the effect of RLP training on university students' knowledge and attitudes about fertility and preconception health. The research was designed as a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the research will consist of 1025 senior undergraduate students studying in five faculties and 17 departments of Bartın University in the fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. To determine the number of participants to be included in the research sample, power analysis was performed using the G-Power 3.1.9.7 program. Accordingly, the sample of the study was planned to include a minimum of 160 participants in intervention and control groups, 80 for each group. Firstly, a Preliminary Evaluation Form will be applied to university students to collect the data of the research. Then, students who meet the inclusion criteria will be pre-tested with the Introductory Information Form, Fertility Health Information Scale and Preconceptional Health Information and Attitude Form. After the pre-test is administered, participants will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Participants in the intervention group will be given group training based on the contents of the Reproductive Life Plan Training Booklet (RLPTB) created by the researcher in line with the literature. No intervention will be made to the participants in the control group. After the pre-test is applied to the participants in both groups, the data collection form will be applied again 8 weeks later and the post-test phase of the research will be completed. IBM SPSS 22.0 package program will be used for statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study. The findings will be evaluated at a 5.0% significance level within a 95.0% confidence interval.
