Summary

This study tested a face-to-face education program for visually impaired young women aged 15-30. The program used touch, audio, and group activities to teach menstrual tracking, pad changing, and genital hygiene. Researchers compared 32 participants who received the training to a control group, measuring symptoms, hygiene behaviors, and self-care skills over 9 months.
