Summary
<p>Objective: To determine the impact of the planned reproductive health training practically provided to visually impaired women based on their knowledge level and training satisfaction. Material and Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest single-group. It was conducted with 30 visually impaired women registered to the associations in İzmir and Manisa provinces between 13 March and 20 April 2019. The data were collected using a questionnaire aimed at the women’s introductory characteristics; a reproductive health information assessment form prepared based on the table of specifications; one minute paper and a training satisfaction assessment form. CDs were created by vocalizing a reproductive health training manual prepared based on expert opinion and were distributed to the women at the end of the training. The group training was carried out using expressions, question-answer, brainstorming, and demonstrations with tactile models and materials. Results: The mean age of the women was 37.83±12.15 years. About 56.7% of them were congenitally visually impaired, 46.7% were university graduates, and 50.0% were married. Their pretest median score was 17.00 (minimum=5.00, maximum=24.00) obtained using reproductive health information assessment form, while the post-test median score was 24.00 (minimum=22.00, maximum=25.00). The post-test scores increased significantly (z=-4.7, p=0.0001). The women stated that they learned about cancers, gynecological examinations, and the importance of checkups during the training and were satisfied with doing practice on models. According to the education satisfaction assessment form, 80.0% of them found the training content to be sufficient, 86.7% the training hall, and 93.3% of the training materials. Conclusion: It was found that women had lower to moderate levels of knowledge regarding reproductive health before the training and the planned reproductive health training provided using tactile materials increased knowledge levels. Also, the women were satisfied with the training. <br></p>
