Summary

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and can be deadly if not found early. Screening tests like mammograms help find breast cancer early, which improves the chances of successful treatment. However, many women do not take part in regular screenings because of fear, lack of knowledge, or other barriers.

This study looks at two ways of teaching women about breast cancer and mammogram screening: traditional health education and a counseling approach called motivational interviewing. Motivational interviewing helps women feel more confident and motivated to get screened by talking about their concerns and encouraging positive decisions.

The goal is to see which method better increases women's knowledge about breast cancer, their beliefs about health, their confidence in getting mammograms, and their actual participation in screening programs. The results will help improve how we support women in taking care of their breast health.
