Summary

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite advances in early detection and screening methods, breast cancer remains a significant public health issue, especially in populations with low awareness levels.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a breast cancer education program on the knowledge and awareness of female students at Mardin Artuklu University. The study will include 100 voluntary female students aged 18 and older from five faculties, selected using cluster sampling.

Participants will complete a Personal Information Form, the Comprehensive Breast Cancer Knowledge Test, and the Breast Cancer Awareness Scale before the intervention. They will then attend a five-session breast cancer education program, with each session lasting 90 minutes. A post-test will be administered two months after the completion of the training.

The education program is expected to improve students' knowledge and awareness of breast cancer, encourage early detection behaviors, and contribute to the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer.
