Abstract :This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the digital storytelling (DS) method to raise fertility awareness (FA). This research is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study consisted of women who applied to the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinics of state hospital in March and October 2023 for who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. Data for the study were gathered using Personal Introduction Form and Fertility Awareness Scale. physical and cognitive awareness levels of women in the intervention and control groups were similar before FA (P>0.05), and after training was given to the experimental group, all awareness levels increased significantly in the intervention group (P<0.05). When the development in each group is taken into account, there is an increase in the post-test scores in both groups. However, when the increase amounts in each group in the intervention and control groups were examined, it was determined that all awareness levels increased more in the intervention group. The DS method for gaining FA given to the intervention group was effective.
