Summary

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer type among women worldwide and ranks ninth in Turkey, making it the second most common gynecological cancer. The prevention of cancer heavily relies on identifying risk factors, implementing preventive measures, and early diagnosis. Cervical cancer is associated with high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infections, transmitted primarily through sexual contact, accounting for 99.7% of cases. Risk-enhancing factors include early sexual activity, poor hygiene, low socioeconomic status, and immunosuppressive conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) launched the "Cervical Cancer Elimination Program" to address this public health issue, aiming for 90% of girls to be vaccinated against HPV by age 15, 70% of women aged 35-45 to be screened, and 90% of women diagnosed with cancer to have access to treatment by 2030. The low participation rate in cervical cancer screening programs in Turkey highlights the urgent need to increase public awareness. Web-based education is an effective tool for promoting health behaviors and increasing awareness. Its cost-effectiveness, ability to reach large audiences, and easy accessibility make it a valuable resource in healthcare. Studies in the literature demonstrate that web-based and video-based education significantly enhance cervical cancer awareness and encourage pap smear test uptake. This study developed a web-based education program and an educational booklet on cervical cancer, based on the Health Belief Model, to evaluate their impact on women's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The study aims to contribute to the dissemination of cervical cancer prevention methods and enrich the existing literature.
