Summary

The study was conducted to determine the effect of breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE) education on breast cancer fear and health beliefs. The main questions it aims to answer are:

H1: Breast cancer and BSE training given to women will affect the health beliefs of women.

H2: Breast cancer and BSE training given to women will affect the fear of breast cancer among women.

H3: Breast cancer and BSE training given to women will affect the information and behaviour in relation to breast cancer screening among women.

Researchers divided participants into experimental and control groups to examine the effects of breast cancer and breast self-examination education on breast cancer fear and health beliefs. The experimental group received education about breast cancer and breast self-examination and was reminded to perform breast self-examination by phone for six months.

breast cancer and breast self- examination education

The experimental group were given education about breast cancer and BSE. Slide presentations used during training provided information about breast anatomy and physiology, breast cancer symptoms and risk factors, early diagnosis methods for breast cancer and breast cancer screening programs, and barriers to breast cancer screening programs were discussed. In addition to slide presentations about breast cancer and BSE, women were also given BSE training on a breast examination mannequin and given brochures after training. The training lasted 40-50 minutes. After women in the experimental group were given training, they were called by telephone once per month until 6 months and reminded about doing BSE.
