Education with mobile application
The "I Can Do It Independently" mobile application developed by the researchers includes two training videos on hand hygiene and menstruation management. Adolescents will be asked to play the games related to the training after watching the training videos. Thus, it is aimed for the participant to reinforce the training. The mobile application was developed by a multidisciplinary team of special education, nurse, midwife and software engineering academicians specifically for female adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities. Adolescents in the intervention group will be asked to use the mobile application for approximately 30 minutes every day.
