Each group consisted of 30 participants, and block randomization was employed for allocation. The blocking scheme included the following six permutations: CTTC, CTCT, CCTT, TCCT, TCTC, and TTCC, where "T" denotes the intervention group and "C" represents the control group. To generate the allocation sequence, random numbers between 0 and 6 were produced using the RANDBETWEEN function in Microsoft Excel. Based on the generated number, one of the predefined blocks was selected, and participants were allocated accordingly. This randomization method ensured equitable and systematic distribution of participants between the two groups, minimizing selection bias and enhancing the validity of the study. N/A Educational program based on a meta-theoretical model on reproductive preferences and childbearing motivations in married students. Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention group participated in a 7-session educational program (1-2 hours per session) grounded in the Transtheoretical Model, designed to modify fertility preferences, enhance childbearing motivations, and promote self-care behaviors. Immediately following the intervention, both groups completed standardized questionnaires assessing fertility preferences and childbearing motivations. Follow-up evaluations were conducted at 1-month and 3-month intervals post-intervention to examine sustained effects. Participants requiring additional support received individualized counseling sessions, delivered either in-person or via telephone. Throughout the study period, the control group received only standard institutional education while undergoing identical assessment procedures at matching timepoints. This rigorous methodology ensured systematic evaluation of the intervention's effectiveness while maintaining ethical standards of participant care. Intervention 2: Control group: This group didn't receive any new training and only received routine university training and classes.
