EFFECT OF TELEHEALTH PROGRAM ON TECHNICAL SCHOOL STUDENTS' ATTITUDE AND PERCEPTION REGARDING THE NEED OF PREMARITAL CARE

View through CrossRef
Background: Despite the increasing liberal attitudes among youth, studies reveal a significant gap in knowledge related to reproductive and premarital health, particularly among technical school students. Telehealth has emerged as a promising educational strategy to bridge this gap by providing accessible, flexible, and engaging learning opportunities. Aim:   To evaluate the effect of telehealth premarital program on technical school students’ attitudes and perceptions regarding the need for premarital care. Design: A quasi-experimental one-group (pre-post) research design was used to assess the impact of the telehealth intervention. Setting: Conducted in two technical secondary schools in New Damietta City, Egypt: the Military Secondary School for Dual Education and Training, and the New Damietta Military Industrial School. Sample: A purposive sample of 418 unmarried third-year male and female students who had not previously received premarital counseling was included. The sample was equally divided by gender (209 males and 209 females). Tools for Data Collection: A self-administered questionnaire assessing students' demographic characteristics and a perception scale developed to evaluate students' attitudes toward premarital screening and genetic counseling using a 3-point Likert scale were used. Results: The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students' perception scores post-intervention. The telehealth program effectively enhanced awareness and fostered more positive attitudes toward the importance of premarital care. Conclusion: The telehealth educational program proved to be an effective strategy for improving their perceptions regarding premarital care. It can serve as a valuable tool in school health education and reproductive health promotion. Recommendations: Integrating telehealth-based educational interventions into school curricula is strongly recommended to improve adolescents' awareness and informed decision-making regarding premarital health issues.
