Background: This study aimed to enhance adolescent girls’ understanding of preventing urinary tract infections to promote healthier lifestyles and develop healthy habits, recognizing the vulnerability of adolescents during their body’s significant changes.
Objectives: The purpose of this research is twofold: (1) to evaluate whether or not there is a correlation between adolescent girls’ pretest knowledge score and selected demographic variables; and (2) to compare adolescent girls’ pre-test and post-test knowledge of how to
avoid getting a UTI.
Methodology: We employed a quantitative methodology, and our research design was a simple before-and-after test administered to a single group. Sixty female high school students were selected using a technique called simple random selection. To gauge comprehension, people used questions they devised themselves.
Results: The current study found that 75% of participants had only minimal knowledge, 25% had just inadequate information, and 0% had more than sufficient knowledge regarding how to avoid catching a urinary tract infection. The post-test results revealed that 68.3% of
participants had adequate knowledge, 31.7% had intermediate knowledge, and 0% had poor knowledge regarding how to prevent urinary tract infections.
Conclusion: The majority of the studies showed that adolescent females know relatively little about the prevention of urinary tract infections. Subject matter competence was shown to have increased as a result of the structured learning program.
