In this study, we examined the effect of web-based genital hygiene education provided to women with orthopedically disability on self-care agency and genital hygiene behaviors. The research was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. 62 participants in the sample group were randomly assigned. There were statistically significant differences between the pretest, mid-test and post-test total mean scores of Self-Care Scale, Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale and all sub-dimensions in the expiremental group (p < 0.001) and there was not a significant difference in the control group (p > 0.05).
