- description
- After randomization, female adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities will be trained with the mobile application (I Can Do It Independently) in addition to routine education. The mobile application will be introduced to the mothers of the girl adolescents and installed on their phones. Then, the mothers will be asked to create a "user name and password" and will be registered to the mobile education application. In the meantime, the mothers will be told again how to use the mobile education application. I Can Do It Independently was developed by the researchers. During the mobile application development process, suggestions were received from experts and the mobile application was finalized. Mild level female adolescents in the experimental group were required to enter the mobile application every day, watch hand hygiene and menstruation management videos and play the games that followed. Mothers will be called twice a week by the researcher and their mobile application usage
