Genital Self İmage and Satisfaction With Genital Appearance
Sponsor: Inonu University
Summary
The concept of genital self-image first emerged alongside genital identity. Womens perceptions of their genital self encompass their feelings and subjective thoughts about their sexual organs. One of the most significant problems resulting from a negative genital self-image is sexual health. It has been reported that genital self-perception and self-image are related to sexual health. Another study that examined the effects of viewing various vulvar photographs on womens genital attitudes found that women had relatively positive genital self-images before viewing the photographs, but their perceptions became even more positive after viewing them. This study aims to examine the impact of education on genital appearance satisfaction and sexual quality of life in women with low genital self-image. It is hypothesized that women with low genital self-image who receive education will have more knowledge about genital anatomy, which will positively influence their genital appearance, genital self-image, and consequently improve their sexual quality of life. The study is a randomized controlled experimental research. The research will be conducted women aged 18-49 years with low genital self-image who are registered at a Family Health Center (FHC). Data collection tools in the study will include a socio-demographic data form prepared by the researchers, the Genital Self-Image Scale, the Genital Appearance Satisfaction Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale. The SPSS 24.0 software package is planned to be used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, number, and percentage will be used in the analysis of the quantitative data. The normality of the data distribution will be assessed, and parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied based on the distribution. Additionally, regression analyses will be used to evaluate the effect, and a significance level of 0.05 will be accepted for the entire study.
