These behaviors and care practices may vary between individuals. The World Health Organization defines the 15–24 age group as youth, which includes young women of university age. This study aimed to compare the genital hygiene behaviors of native and immigrant female students enrolled in nonhealth departments at Mardin Artuklu University. Methods The study population consisted of female students (n = 5970) enrolled in nonhealth departments at Mardin Artuklu University. The sample size of the study was determined using power analysis and G*Power software. Each group (the immigrant group and the native group) comprised 165 individuals, with 330 individuals in total. The data collection tool consisted of two sections. The first section included a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, while the second section utilized the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale. Results The mean age of the students who participated in the study was 23.02 ± 4.42 years (Min: 17, Max: 50). The mean age of the native students was 23.12 ± 4.27 years (Min: 17, Max: 48), while the mean age of the immigrant students was 23.06 ± 4.72 years (Min: 18, Max: 50). Variables such as age group, income status, marital status, family type, social security, method of genital area cleansing, materials used, frequency of bathing, method of genital cleaning, underwear fabric, washing method, color, habit of hand washing before toilet use, regular menstruation, and presence of foul-smelling discharge were identified to create differences in terms of genital hygiene behaviors. Conclusions The scores on the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for both native and immigrant students are not at the desired level. The general idea is that some sociodemographic characteristics and habits related to genital hygiene influence genital hygiene behaviors. To prevent reproductive health problems in both native and immigrant students at later ages, they should receive regular education on this topic. Immigrants native students hygiene behavior Introduction Women experience varying reproductive health issues at different age periods [ 1 – 4 ]. Therefore, urogenital system infections rank highly among the reasons for hospital admissions [ 1 , 2 ]. The most common reproductive health issue experienced by young people is urogenital infection [ 1 , 5 ]. Although genital tract infections are treatable and preventable, they emerge as a significant public health issue throughout the lives of women in developing countries given their prevalence and complications [ 3 , 6 – 8 ]. The primary cause of infection is inadequate hygiene, although various factors, such as the anatomical proximity of the urethra, vagina, and anus in women, low socioeconomic status, lack of education, inadequate perineal and menstrual hygiene, vaginal douching, prolonged use of antibiotics and steroids, diabetes mellitus, immune deficiencies, smoking and alcohol consumption, unsafe sexual life, and performing abortions and miscarriages in unhealthy conditions, contribute to the development of genital infections [ 3 , 9 – 11 ]. Globally, 75% of women have a history of vaginal infection or urinary tract infection. In Turkey, the prevalence of vaginal infection and urinary tract infection ranges from 37–65% [ 9 , 12 ]. An individual’s care practices, developed through their knowledge, beliefs, and habits, include their genital hygiene behaviors. These behaviors and care practices vary among individuals [ 2 , 13 ]. According to the Migration and Health Report published by the Ministry of Health, Turkey, in 2019, due to the lack of culturally sensitive sexual health improvement efforts, there has been an increase in urinary system and genital infection risks among refugees and asylum seekers concerning sexual health and reproductive health [ 14 ]. The World Health Organization defines the 15–24 age group as youth, which includes young women of university age. Considering that genital hygiene behaviors are learned at an early age, it is crucial to identify risky behaviors in young women who do not have active sexual lives and to take necessary measures to improve genital hygiene behaviors accordingly [ 3 ]. Although studies have been conducted on women’s genital hygiene behaviors both in Turkey and worldwide [ 2 , 6 , 7 , 9 , 15 – 24 ], no study has compared the genital hygiene behaviors of native and immigrant female students. The present study aimed to compare the genital hygiene behaviors of native and immigrant female students enrolled in nonhealth departments at Mardin Artuklu University. In line with this objective, the following questions are answered: Are there differences in terms of genital hygiene behaviors between native and immigrant female students? Do native female students have higher scores for genital hygiene behaviors? Do immigrant female students have higher genital hygiene behavior scores? What are the factors influencing the genital hygiene behaviors of native and immigrant female students? Methods Type of Research This is descriptive and cross-sectional research. Participants and Sampling The study population consisted of female students (n=5970) enrolled in nonhealth departments at Mardin Artuklu University. The sample size of the study was determined using power analysis and G*Power software. A total sample size of 330 individuals was equally distributed to both groups, with a significance level of p=0.05, a medium effect size, a study power of 99%, and a 1-Beta value set to 0.99 based on Cohen’s d=0.5. The study employed a convenience sampling method, consisting of immigrant and native students who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate. In convenience sampling, a researcher begins to form the sample by selecting the most accessible respondents until reaching the desired sample size or by working on a situation that is the most accessible and maximizes savings. The study included female students enrolled in departments other than health-related departments. Male students, those enrolled in health-related departments, those with severe physical illnesses hindering cooperation, those with auditory, visual, or cognitive impairments hindering communication, and those who declined to participate in the interview were not included in the study. Ethics approval and consent to participate All necessary permission was obtained from the Non-Invasive Ethics Committee of the Rectorate of Mardin Artuklu University (date: November 9, 2022, no: 2022/13-24) and from Karahan (2020), who developed the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale (GHBS) and assessed its validity and reliability. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Prior to data collection, the participants were provided with necessary information about the research and gave their informed consent. Data collection tools The data collection tool consisted of two sections. The first section included the Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire (SCQ), while the second section utilized the GHBS. SCQ: The questionnaire was prepared by the researchers and included questions regarding the students’ age, nationality, place of residence, eligibility for citizenship if foreign, marital status, having children, family type, social security, parental education level, student’s employment status, income status, area of residence during education, smoking status, presence of chronic disease, and questions related to genital hygiene behaviors. GHBS: This Likert-type scale was developed by Karahan in 2017, and its reliability and validity were assessed. It consists of 23 statements rated on a scale from “Strongly agree” to “Strongly disagree,” ranging from 5 to 1. The scale comprises three subscales: “General Hygiene Habits (GHH)” (first 12 statements), “Menstrual Hygiene Habits (MHH)” (13-20 statements), and “Awareness of Abnormal Findings (AAF)” (21-23 statements). In the evaluation, statements 7, 14, 19, 20, and 23 are reverse-coded, allowing for a score range of 23 (lowest) to 115 (highest), with higher scores indicating better genital hygiene behaviors in women. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the original scale was 0.80 [3]. In our study, the Cronbach’s alpha value for the scale was 0.83. Statistical analysis After the researcher coded the data from this study, they were transferred to SPSS software to conduct the necessary analyses. The statistical analysis of the study involved the use of means, standard deviations, minimum and maximum values, and percentile numbers. To determine whether the data showed a normal distribution, the Shapiro and Kolmogorov‒Smirnov tests were used. Normally distributed scores were evaluated using t tests (independent samples t tests) and one-way ANOVA. Findings The mean age of the students who participated in the study was 23.02±4.42 years (Min: 17, Max: 50). The mean age of the native students was 23.12±4.27 years (Min: 17, Max: 48), while the mean age of the immigrant students was 23.06±4.72 years (Min: 18, Max: 50).

it was 86.50 ± 11.96. According to various studies examining genital hygiene behaviors, health service vocational school students had a total mean score of 86.89 ± 7.12 [ 25 ], nursing students had a mean score of 87.60 ± 8.97 [ 2 ], and midwifery students had a mean score of 95.25 ± 8.57 [ 19 ]. In a study conducted on adolescent girls, the mean score was 79.28 ± 6.80 [ 26 ]. Our study findings mostly align with the literature but differ from the findings of Mamuk et al.’s study. There was a significant difference in the mean scores of the GHBS and the general hygiene habits subscale scores among native students based on age groups. Additionally, there was a difference in the mean scores of the awareness of abnormal findings subscale among immigrant students based on age groups. Although there are studies indicating that age group may not have an impact on genital hygiene behaviors or its subscales [ 2 , 16 ], the data from our study support the notion that age may be influential. There was a difference between the income status of native students and the mean scores of the GHBS and the awareness of abnormal findings subscale scores. Studies conducted in different locations [ 1 , 15 ] show that as the income level increases, the total scores also increase. This indicates that individuals’ economic status plays a role in maintaining their genital hygiene. Both native and immigrant students showed differences in marital status and mean scores on the awareness of abnormal findings subscale. The total mean scores were higher among married participants. The marriage rate among native students was 9.70%, while it was 19.40% among immigrant students. In a study evaluating vaginal discharge and genital hygiene habits [ 27 ], the marriage rate was 59.80%, and the percentage of those who answered “yes” to the option “vagina is left dry in the presence of abnormal vaginal discharge” was 53.90%. Additionally, the mean score of the genital hygiene behaviors inventory was higher. The influence of marital status on awareness of abnormal findings is supported by the literature. While there were significant differences between native students’ family type, general hygiene habits, and awareness of abnormal findings subscale scores, such differences were observed in immigrants’ general hygiene habits subscale scores. The total mean scores of those living in nuclear families were higher. In a study conducted with adolescent girls attending school in Nepal, 67% of the participants had a nuclear family. Among those with one to four family members, the percentage of individuals exhibiting strong menstrual hygiene practices was greater than that among those with five or more family members [ 28 ]. In a study examining the genital hygiene behaviors of women visiting the Community Health Center in Mardin, women with nuclear families had higher mean genital hygiene behavior scores [ 22 ]. The results of our study mostly align with the findings in the literature. As the number of people in the family increases, the number of people sharing toilets, bathrooms and even washing machines may also increase, which may have a negative impact on hygiene. Our study revealed that the percentage of native students who cleaned the genital area from front to back at one time was 64.2%, while this percentage was 67.9% among immigrant students. In general, this cleaning method had a positive effect on genital hygiene behaviors and habits. Various studies have shown a reverse relationship between cleaning the genital area from front to back and complaints of vaginal infection, discharge, itching, and pain [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Another study revealed a significant difference between the method of cleaning the genital area and the total mean scores of the GHBS, general hygiene behaviors, menstrual hygiene, and awareness of abnormal findings subscales. Front-to-back cleaning yielded higher total mean scores [ 1 ]. Our study aligns with the literature. Cleaning the genital area using the appropriate procedure has a positive effect on genital hygiene. Among all students, 75.20% of native students and 90.30% of immigrant students reported that they did not have foul-smelling discharge. The presence of foul-smelling discharge generally affects genital hygiene behaviors, menstrual hygiene, and awareness of abnormal findings. Muzayyanatul et al. (2018) reported a lower rate of pathological vaginal discharge (3.50%) among students who maintained genital hygiene [ 33 ]. Al-Kotb et al. (2016) reported that among the reported complaints, vaginal discharge was present in 18.60% of the patients [ 34 ]. The pads they use during menstruation, the duration of changing pads, and the lack of bathing habits during menstruation may have affected the results. In addition, the higher rate of marriage among migrant students suggests that they perform vaginal douching after sexual intercourse. Our study concluded that pretoilet hand washing habits generally affect genital hygiene behaviors in both native and immigrant students. Those with pretoilet hand washing habits had higher total mean scores. Pretoilet hand washing habits were present in 63.00% of the native school students and 46.10% of the immigrant students. Studies in the literature have shown that the prevalence of pretoilet hand washing habits can vary between 27.80% and 93.70% [ 5 , 13 , 21 , 35 ]. The variability in the rates of pretoilet hand washing habits in the literature may be influenced by limited facilities in dormitories and individuals’ lack of sufficient knowledge on the subject. The rate of using water and toilet paper was 92.10% among native students and 80.60% among immigrant students. According to the results, the material used for genital cleaning among native students affects their genital hygiene behaviors, while among immigrant students, it affects both the GHBS and its subscales. Those who use water and toilet paper have higher scores. According to previous studies, the percentage of individuals using water and toilet paper for genital cleaning ranges between 65.10% and 70.50% [ 1 , 9 , 12 , 20 ]. The greater number of students studying in health departments in dormitories may have contributed to an increase in the awareness of students studying in other departments. In our study, those with social security had higher scores. Similar studies have shown similar results [ 22 , 24 , 36 ]. The study results are consistent with the literature. The lower cost of health care for those with social security directs them to health institutions and allows them to access the necessary information from health professionals. Among the participants, 84.20% of the native students and 80.60% of the immigrant students preferred cotton fabrics for underwear selection. The use of cotton underwear has an effect on genital hygiene behaviors and its subscales. Studies conducted in different settings and at different times have revealed relationships between vaginal infections and cotton underwear [ 4 , 8 , 20 , 21 , 31 , 37 – 40 ]. Our finding of a preference for cotton underwear among all fabrics aligns with the literature. Among all the students, 76.40% of the native students and 63.60% of the immigrant students wore colored underwear. Among native students, those wearing white underwear had higher total scores on the GHBS, general hygiene habits subscale, and awareness of abnormal discharge subscale. In a study conducted by Ünsal et al. (2010) examining the genital hygiene behaviors of individuals living in rural areas, 77.40% of whom were women [ 4 ]; in a study by Dalbudak and Bilgili (2013), 64.00% of whom had no vaginal infections [ 8 ]; in a study by Ergün et al. (2020), 31.00% of whom were women [ 20 ]; and in a study by Akça and Türk (2021), 34.90% of whom stated that they only wore white underwear [ 30 ]. In general, studies, including our study, indicate that colored underwear is preferred. Women may need to be informed more about this issue. Native students who hand wash their underwear with boiling water and immigrant students who wash it at high temperatures on machines generally have higher scores on the GHBS and its subscales. In a study by Baş et al. (2016) conducted at a credit and dormitories institution, 54.80% of the students [ 41 ], and in a study by Kartal et al. (2020) conducted on midwifery students, 91.40% of the students stated that they washed their underwear in the washing machine [ 19 ]. In a study by Toraman et al. (2021) examining the genital hygiene behaviors of women living in a women guest house, 20.70% of women washed their underwear at high temperatures in the machine [ 38 ]. In a study conducted by Bahram et al., 2009 in Iran, 76.20% of women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) stated that they always wash their underwear with hot water [ 42 ]. The studies in the literature may show variabilities, which may be attributed to limited resources, cultural differences, and insufficient knowledge on the subject. In communal living spaces, washing underwear separately and in a washing machine at high temperatures is the most ideal method, but it may be difficult to do this regularly. Regular menstruation among immigrant students had an impact on the GHBS, general hygiene habits, and menstrual hygiene subscales. Those who experienced regular menstruation had higher total scores. In a study by Janoowalla et al. (2019) conducted in Rwanda, 69.10% of adolescents [ 43 ], and in a study by Belayneh and Mekuriaw (2019) examining the menstrual hygiene knowledge of adolescents in southern Ethiopia, 40.30% reported experiencing regular menstruation [ 44 ]. The discrepancy between our study and the literature may be attributed to socioeconomic constraints leading to limitations in nutrition and resources. Conclusions The study indicated that scores on the GHBS for both native and immigrant students are not at the desired level. Variables such as age group, income status, marital status, family type, social security, method and materials used for genital cleansing, frequency of bathing, method of genital hygiene, fabric, washing method and color of underwear, pretoilet hand washing habits, regular menstruation, and presence of foul-smelling discharge were found to influence genital hygiene behaviors. To prevent reproductive health problems in both native and immigrant students at later ages, they should receive regular education on this topic. It would be beneficial to raise awareness and promote behavioral changes regarding genital hygiene through seminars, conferences, workshops, and similar events targeting all female university students.

Therefore, urogenital system infections rank highly among the reasons for hospital admissions [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e].

Although genital tract infections are treatable and preventable, they emerge as a significant public health issue throughout the lives of women in developing countries given their prevalence and complications [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR7\" citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]. The primary cause of infection is inadequate hygiene, although various factors, such as the anatomical proximity of the urethra, vagina, and anus in women, low socioeconomic status, lack of education, inadequate perineal and menstrual hygiene, vaginal douching, prolonged use of antibiotics and steroids, diabetes mellitus, immune deficiencies, smoking and alcohol consumption, unsafe sexual life, and performing abortions and miscarriages in unhealthy conditions, contribute to the development of genital infections [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR10\" citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e]. Globally, 75% of women have a history of vaginal infection or urinary tract infection. In Turkey, the prevalence of vaginal infection and urinary tract infection ranges from 37\u0026ndash;65% [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e An individual\u0026rsquo;s care practices, developed through their knowledge, beliefs, and habits, include their genital hygiene behaviors.

According to the Migration and Health Report published by the Ministry of Health, Turkey, in 2019, due to the lack of culturally sensitive sexual health improvement efforts, there has been an increase in urinary system and genital infection risks among refugees and asylum seekers concerning sexual health and reproductive health [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e]. The World Health Organization defines the 15\u0026ndash;24 age group as youth, which includes young women of university age. Considering that genital hygiene behaviors are learned at an early age, it is crucial to identify risky behaviors in young women who do not have active sexual lives and to take necessary measures to improve genital hygiene behaviors accordingly [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough studies have been conducted on women\u0026rsquo;s genital hygiene behaviors both in Turkey and worldwide [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR16 CR17 CR18 CR19 CR20 CR21 CR22 CR23\" citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e], no study has compared the genital hygiene behaviors of native and immigrant female students.

Additionally, there was a difference in the mean scores of the awareness of abnormal findings subscale among immigrant students based on age groups. Although there are studies indicating that age group may not have an impact on genital hygiene behaviors or its subscales [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e], the data from our study support the notion that age may be influential.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was a difference between the income status of native students and the mean scores of the GHBS and the awareness of abnormal findings subscale scores. Studies conducted in different locations [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e] show that as the income level increases, the total scores also increase. This indicates that individuals\u0026rsquo; economic status plays a role in maintaining their genital hygiene.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth native and immigrant students showed differences in marital status and mean scores on the awareness of abnormal findings subscale. The total mean scores were higher among married participants. The marriage rate among native students was 9.70%, while it was 19.40% among immigrant students. In a study evaluating vaginal discharge and genital hygiene habits [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e], the marriage rate was 59.80%, and the percentage of those who answered \u0026ldquo;yes\u0026rdquo; to the option \u0026ldquo;vagina is left dry in the presence of abnormal vaginal discharge\u0026rdquo; was 53.90%. Additionally, the mean score of the genital hygiene behaviors inventory was higher. The influence of marital status on awareness of abnormal findings is supported by the literature.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile there were significant differences between native students\u0026rsquo; family type, general hygiene habits, and awareness of abnormal findings subscale scores, such differences were observed in immigrants\u0026rsquo; general hygiene habits subscale scores. The total mean scores of those living in nuclear families were higher. In a study conducted with adolescent girls attending school in Nepal, 67% of the participants had a nuclear family. Among those with one to four family members, the percentage of individuals exhibiting strong menstrual hygiene practices was greater than that among those with five or more family members [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. In a study examining the genital hygiene behaviors of women visiting the Community Health Center in Mardin, women with nuclear families had higher mean genital hygiene behavior scores [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e]. The results of our study mostly align with the findings in the literature. As the number of people in the family increases, the number of people sharing toilets, bathrooms and even washing machines may also increase, which may have a negative impact on hygiene.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur study revealed that the percentage of native students who cleaned the genital area from front to back at one time was 64.2%, while this percentage was 67.9% among immigrant students. In general, this cleaning method had a positive effect on genital hygiene behaviors and habits. Various studies have shown a reverse relationship between cleaning the genital area from front to back and complaints of vaginal infection, discharge, itching, and pain [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e]. Another study revealed a significant difference between the method of cleaning the genital area and the total mean scores of the GHBS, general hygiene behaviors, menstrual hygiene, and awareness of abnormal findings subscales. Front-to-back cleaning yielded higher total mean scores [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. Our study aligns with the literature. Cleaning the genital area using the appropriate procedure has a positive effect on genital hygiene.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong all students, 75.20% of native students and 90.30% of immigrant students reported that they did not have foul-smelling discharge. The presence of foul-smelling discharge generally affects genital hygiene behaviors, menstrual hygiene, and awareness of abnormal findings. Muzayyanatul et al. (2018) reported a lower rate of pathological vaginal discharge (3.50%) among students who maintained genital hygiene [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e]. Al-Kotb et al. (2016) reported that among the reported complaints, vaginal discharge was present in 18.60% of the patients [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e]. The pads they use during menstruation, the duration of changing pads, and the lack of bathing habits during menstruation may have affected the results. In addition, the higher rate of marriage among migrant students suggests that they perform vaginal douching after sexual intercourse.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur study concluded that pretoilet hand washing habits generally affect genital hygiene behaviors in both native and immigrant students. Those with pretoilet hand washing habits had higher total mean scores. Pretoilet hand washing habits were present in 63.00% of the native school students and 46.10% of the immigrant students. Studies in the literature have shown that the prevalence of pretoilet hand washing habits can vary between 27.80% and 93.70% [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. The variability in the rates of pretoilet hand washing habits in the literature may be influenced by limited facilities in dormitories and individuals\u0026rsquo; lack of sufficient knowledge on the subject.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rate of using water and toilet paper was 92.10% among native students and 80.60% among immigrant students. According to the results, the material used for genital cleaning among native students affects their genital hygiene behaviors, while among immigrant students, it affects both the GHBS and its subscales. Those who use water and toilet paper have higher scores. According to previous studies, the percentage of individuals using water and toilet paper for genital cleaning ranges between 65.10% and 70.50% [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]. The greater number of students studying in health departments in dormitories may have contributed to an increase in the awareness of students studying in other departments.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our study, those with social security had higher scores.

The study results are consistent with the literature. The lower cost of health care for those with social security directs them to health institutions and allows them to access the necessary information from health professionals.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the participants, 84.20% of the native students and 80.60% of the immigrant students preferred cotton fabrics for underwear selection. The use of cotton underwear has an effect on genital hygiene behaviors and its subscales.

Among native students, those wearing white underwear had higher total scores on the GHBS, general hygiene habits subscale, and awareness of abnormal discharge subscale. In a study conducted by \u0026Uuml;nsal et al.

In general, studies, including our study, indicate that colored underwear is preferred. Women may need to be informed more about this issue.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative students who hand wash their underwear with boiling water and immigrant students who wash it at high temperatures on machines generally have higher scores on the GHBS and its subscales. In a study by Baş et al. (2016) conducted at a credit and dormitories institution, 54.80% of the students [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e], and in a study by Kartal et al. (2020) conducted on midwifery students, 91.40% of the students stated that they washed their underwear in the washing machine [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]. In a study by Toraman et al. (2021) examining the genital hygiene behaviors of women living in a women guest house, 20.70% of women washed their underwear at high temperatures in the machine [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e]. In a study conducted by Bahram et al., 2009 in Iran, 76.20% of women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) stated that they always wash their underwear with hot water [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e42\u003c/span\u003e]. The studies in the literature may show variabilities, which may be attributed to limited resources, cultural differences, and insufficient knowledge on the subject. In communal living spaces, washing underwear separately and in a washing machine at high temperatures is the most ideal method, but it may be difficult to do this regularly.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular menstruation among immigrant students had an impact on the GHBS, general hygiene habits, and menstrual hygiene subscales. Those who experienced regular menstruation had higher total scores. In a study by Janoowalla et al. (2019) conducted in Rwanda, 69.10% of adolescents [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e43\u003c/span\u003e], and in a study by Belayneh and Mekuriaw (2019) examining the menstrual hygiene knowledge of adolescents in southern Ethiopia, 40.30% reported experiencing regular menstruation [\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e]. The discrepancy between our study and the literature may be attributed to socioeconomic constraints leading to limitations in nutrition and resources.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusions","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe study indicated that scores on the GHBS for both native and immigrant students are not at the desired level.

These behaviors and care practices may vary between individuals. The World Health Organization defines the 15\u0026ndash;24 age group as youth, which includes young women of university age. This study aimed to compare the genital hygiene behaviors of native and immigrant female students enrolled in nonhealth departments at Mardin Artuklu University.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe study population consisted of female students (n\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;5970) enrolled in nonhealth departments at Mardin Artuklu University. The sample size of the study was determined using power analysis and G*Power software. Each group (the immigrant group and the native group) comprised 165 individuals, with 330 individuals in total. The data collection tool consisted of two sections. The first section included a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, while the second section utilized the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe mean age of the students who participated in the study was 23.02\u0026thinsp;\u0026plusmn;\u0026thinsp;4.42 years (Min: 17, Max: 50).

Variables such as age group, income status, marital status, family type, social security, method of genital area cleansing, materials used, frequency of bathing, method of genital cleaning, underwear fabric, washing method, color, habit of hand washing before toilet use, regular menstruation, and presence of foul-smelling discharge were identified to create differences in terms of genital hygiene behaviors.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusions\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe scores on the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for both native and immigrant students are not at the desired level.
