Health Care for Women International, Taylor & Francis Group (-,-),s.1-19.0739-933210.1080/07399332.2024.2371386https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12415/12778In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine for contraceptive counseling on knowledge levels and satisfaction with Family Planning Services. We collected data from 77 third-trimester pregnant women using a personal information form, Family Planning Knowledge Questionnaire, and the Satisfaction with Family Planning Services Scale and compared the data using chi-square test, Fisher’s exact chi-square test, t-test for independent and dependent groups and MannWhitney U analysis. The experimental group participants (n=37) received two informative video visits for contraceptive counseling, while the women in the control group (n=40) received routine face-to-face Family Planning Services at their primary health care center. Participants in the experimental group showed a greater increase in knowledge levels and higher satisfaction with Family Planning Services than those in the control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, we determined that telemedicine for contraceptive counseling is a promising option even beyond the pandemic.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFamily PlanningCOVID-19 pandemicAile planlamasıKadın sağlığıUzaktan eğitimArticle19-1-
