Introduction: Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH) is vital for the well-being and empowerment of women and adolescent girls. It involves access to clean water, sanitation, affordable menstrual products, accurate information, and a supportive environment to manage menstruation without embarrassment.
Methodology: A quantitative research design was used with a sample size of 146 adolescent girls from a government school in Mumbai, selected through simple random sampling. Data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire.
Result and Analysis: The experimental group showed a significant increase in post-test mean knowledge scores (From 9.67 to 10.97), while the control group showed a slight decrease (From 9.48 to 9.21), indicating the effectiveness of the educational intervention.
Discussion: In the control group, 45.71% of participants had good knowledge, while 47.14% of the experimental group had average knowledge. This reflects the potential of educational programs to enhance awareness and understanding of menstrual health and hygiene.
Conclusion: The study highlights the need for specialized nursing interventions and training programs to address menstrual health issues among adolescent girls. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating menstrual hygiene education into adolescent health care for more holistic and supportive services.
