Primary outcomes

  1. Comprehensive Breast Cancer Knowledge Test

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The comprehensive beast cancer knowledge test consists of 20 general knowledge questions. The scale is answered using a True-False format. There are 8 true and 12 false statements. The comprehensive breast cancer knowledge test comprises two dimensions: general knowledge and treatability. Questions 1 through 12 cover general knowledge about breast cancer, while questions 13 through 20 concern the treatability of breast cancer.

Secondary outcomes

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The attitude towards learning scale consists of a total of 34 items. The scale comprises sub-dimensions of effort toward learning, valuing learning, and avoidance of learning. Of these items, 25 are positive and 9 are negative. The scale is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with options being "Strongly Agree", "Largely Agree", "Partially Agree", "Disagree", and "Strongly Disagree". The highest possible attitude score is 170 and the lowest is 34.

Other outcomes
