Summary

This study aims to develop and evaluate a theory-based educational intervention to improve cancer screening participation among Syrian migrants in Turkey. The study will also develop a Cancer Protection Motivation Scale (CPMS) to measure individuals' motivation toward cancer screening. Using a mixed-methods design, the study will explore barriers, beliefs, and behaviors related to breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening. The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed using a pretest-posttest design. The findings are expected to support culturally appropriate strategies to improve cancer screening uptake among migrant populations.

Interventions

OTHER

PMT-Based Cancer Screening Educational Intervention

This intervention is a structured educational program developed based on Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). It aims to improve cancer screening behaviors among Syrian migrants through culturally adapted educational sessions focusing on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening. The intervention targets key components of PMT, including threat appraisal (perceived severity, perceived vulnerability, and rewards) and coping appraisal (self-efficacy, response efficacy, and perceived costs). Educational content is designed to increase awareness, enhance motivation, and reduce perceived barriers. Participants will receive the training through interactive sessions. The effectiveness of the intervention will be evaluated using pretest and posttest assessments with the Cancer Protection Motivation Scale (CPMS).

BEHAVIORAL

PMT-Based Cancer Screening Education Program

This behavioral intervention is a structured education program based on Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), designed to improve cancer screening behaviors among Syrian migrants. The program targets key PMT constructs, including perceived severity, perceived vulnerability, response efficacy, self-efficacy, and perceived barriers. It includes culturally adapted, interactive educational sessions focusing on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening. The intervention aims to increase knowledge, enhance motivation, and reduce perceived barriers to screening participation. Effectiveness will be evaluated using pre- and post-intervention assessments with the Cancer Protection Motivation Scale (CPMS).
