Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of web-based marriage preparation education provided to engaged couples before marriage on their knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction, and sexual self-efficacy. The randomized controlled experimental study took place between September 2021 and November 2022 at a municipal marriage registry office in Ankara. The study enrolled 60 engaged couples embarking on their first marriage (30 couples assigned to the intervention group and 30 to the control group). The intervention group received web-based marriage preparation education, while the control group received standardized follow-up. Data collection involved the use of the “Data Collection Form,” the “Sexual and Reproductive Health Knowledge Test for Premarital Couples (SRH),” the “Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS),” the “New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS),” and the “Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES).” Data analysis employed descriptive statistics (percentage, frequency, mean, and standard deviation), split-plot ANOVA for pre-test and post-test comparisons, two-way ANOVA for intergroup scale score comparisons, and the Pearson correlation test for correlational analysis. The post-test knowledge scores on sexual and reproductive health for the group that received marriage preparation education were found to be significantly higher (p < 0.01). Additionally, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher scores on the MAS, NSSS, and SSES than the non-education group (p < 0.05). The study concludes that pre-marriage education played a crucial role in enhancing couples’ understanding of sexual and reproductive health, marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction, and sexual self-efficacy. Moreover, the education administered by a women’s health nurse highlighted the importance of web-based technologies in counseling.

基于网络的婚前准备教育对婚前夫妇的功效
本研究旨在评估婚前为订婚夫妇提供的基于网络的婚姻准备教育对他们的性健康和生殖健康知识、婚姻适应、性满意度和性自我效能的影响。这项随机对照实验研究于 2021 年 9 月至 2022 年 11 月期间在安卡拉的一家市级婚姻登记处进行。该研究招募了 60 对即将步入初婚的订婚夫妇(30 对被分配到干预组,30 对被分配到对照组)。干预组接受基于网络的婚姻准备教育,而对照组则接受标准化的后续教育。数据收集包括使用 "数据收集表"、"婚前夫妇性与生殖健康知识测试(SRH)"、"婚姻适应量表(MAS)"、"新性满足量表(NSSS)"和 "性自我效能感量表(SSES)"。数据分析采用了描述性统计(百分比、频率、平均值和标准差)、用于测试前和测试后比较的分割图方差分析、用于组间量表得分比较的双向方差分析以及用于相关分析的皮尔逊相关检验。结果发现,接受婚姻准备教育的干预组在测试后的性健康和生殖健康知识得分明显更高(p < 0.01)。此外,干预组在 MAS、NSSS 和 SSES 方面的得分也明显高于未接受教育组(p < 0.05)。研究得出结论,婚前教育在提高夫妻对性健康和生殖健康的认识、婚姻适应、性满意度和性自我效能方面发挥了重要作用。此外,由妇女健康护士实施的教育突出了网络技术在咨询中的重要性。
