Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Face to face group [6 weeks]
2. The Stigma of Sexual and Reproductive Health in Young Women Scale (SCASS): Hall et al. It was developed by in 2017 to identify the stigma of sexual and reproductive health in women aged 15-24. The original scale consists of 20 items and three sub-dimensions: Accepted stigma, Internalized Stigma, and Attitudes on which Stigma is Based. The accepted stigma sub-dimension consists of a total of 6 items. The lowest score that can be obtained from this dimension is 0, and the highest score is 7. The lowest score that can be obtained from the total of the scale is 0, and the highest score is 20. Each item of the scale is rated as 0=Disagree, 0=Neutral, 1=Agree. The higher the score, the higher the level of stigmatization. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in stigma. The Cronbach alpha value of the scale is 0.74. It is stated that the scale is suitable for all social classes.
Face to face group [6 weeks]
3. Sexual health knowledge test: It was developed by Petili and Gölbaşı in 2017, and its validity-reliability has been made. The test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions and includes 12 sub-dimensions. During the implementation of the CSBT, the participants are asked to carefully read each question and mark the answer they think is correct. Each answer marked correctly by the participant is scored as "1", and each answer marked incorrectly or left blank is scored as "0". The lowest score that can be obtained from CSBT is 0, and the highest score is 40. It is accepted that the higher the score, the higher the level of sexual health knowledge. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the test was found to be 0.88, and the internal consistency of the test was reported to be high reliability (Evcili & Gölbaşı, 2017)
