Summary

Objective: This study aimed to explore how face-to-face and online health education influenced several factors related to breast cancer, including individuals' self-reported knowledge of breast cancer and mammography, perceptions of the benefits and barriers to mammography, self-confidence in undergoing mammography, and the rates of participation in screening programs.

Materials and Methods: This research utilized a parallel group design within a single-blind randomized controlled trial framework. A total of 126 healthy participants were recruited, equally divided into three groups of 42, from individuals enrolled at the Toprakkale Family Health Center between January and July 2023, all of whom met the eligibility requirements.In this study, a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale, along with the mammography benefit and barrier perception sub-dimensions from Champion's Health Belief Model Scale and the Mammography Self-Efficacy Scale, were utilized for participants to self-assess their knowledge regarding breast cancer and mammography. While the control group received standard care, the face-to-face education group benefited from health education and informational brochures delivered through home visits, supplemented by a follow-up reminder call. Meanwhile, the online training group received health education and digital brochures via video calls, along with one reminder session. Following a two-month follow-up period, data from the three groups were compared using One-Way Analysis of Variance and the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Multiple comparisons were conducted using Tukey's test and Dunn's test, while Generalized Linear Models were employed for assessing group and time differences.
