dc.description.abstract | Introduction: It is important to change behaviours and situations that affect fertility in a negative way (e.g. obesity, smoking and stress). Healthy lifestyle behaviours supporting fertility involve changing these habits. The development of healthy lifestyle behaviours which can support fertility can be achieved through taking personal responsibility to change unhealthy behaviours. This study was aimed at determining the effects of fertility supporting health training on healthy lifestyle behaviours and self-efficacy in infertile women. This study aimed to determine the effects of fertility supporting health training on changing healthy lifestyle behaviours and self-efficacy in infertile women. Methods: The study used a pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental model with a control group and was carried out between March and October 2017. The power analysis calculated the number of infertile women in each group as 62 (N = 124). The women in the experimental group were provided with two sessions of fertility-supporting health training. Eight weeks after the first session, the post-test data were collected. Data collection included a Personal Information Form, the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II (HLBS-II) and the Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale - Short Form (ISE-SF). Results: The HLBS-II post-test mean values were 136.52 +/- 19.25 in the experimental group and 126.90 +/- 17.02 in the control group, and the difference was significant (p < 0.05). The ISE-SF post-test mean values were significantly different for the experimental group (23.16 +/- 4.13) compared to the control group (20.43 +/- 4.19) (p = 0.000). Conclusions: Women being treated for infertility may wish to participate in initiatives that promote fertility. Training, adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours and perceptions of self-efficacy can be improved. | en_US |
