Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of structured sexual health education for immigrant women on their levels of sexual health self-efficacy and reproductive autonomy using a randomized controlled design.

Detailed description

Sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human life that encompasses biological, psychological, and social dimensions and is shaped by individuals' personality traits, life experiences, and social conditions. Sexual satisfaction and adjustment are related not only to physical processes but also to psychological well-being and interpersonal relationships. In this context, sexual self-efficacy-defined as an individual's belief in their ability to manage emotions and behaviors in sexual situations-plays an important role, while reproductive autonomy refers to the ability to freely decide whether and when to have children. Migrant women may be more vulnerable in these areas due to various social and structural barriers; therefore, efforts aimed at strengthening sexual health self-efficacy and reproductive autonomy are considered important.
