NCT ID NCT06428305
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether hygiene education using the 'teach-back' method (where women explain what they learned) improves genital hygiene behaviors and reduces symptoms in pregnant women diagnosed with urinary tract infections. 36 pregnant women participated, with half receiving the education and half receiving none. The study measured hygiene behaviors using a scale at several time points over 30 days.
