Data were collected in two phases; before and after the educational intervention.

The findings of the study revealed that the respondents‟ awareness of preconception care measures improved following an educational intervention. The total mean score of awareness was 8.77 in the pre-test and 17.40 in the post-test. The standard deviation of awareness was 2.423 in the pretest and 2.686 in the post-test. The difference between the pre-test and post-test of the respondents‟ whole awareness level was significantly different because the value p= 0.000 is below the 0.05 cut off.
