The independent variable was the educational website, and the dependent variable was the girls’ actions regarding personal hygiene during menstruation. Data were collected using a questionnaire between February and March 2024 and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, with α < 0.05.The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors after the website intervention, with a p-value of 0.000, confirming the effectiveness of the website.
