About this study

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of planned visual education based on the Health Belief Model on university students' attitudes and beliefs toward skin cancer. Planned as a cluster-randomized controlled experimental study conducted on two groups (n=116). The study was carried out in Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (FEAS) and Hasan Ferdi Turgutlu Faculty of Technology (HFTFT) from the faculties of Manisa Celal Bayar University (MCBU) between February-Semptember 2019. Among seven departments in FEAS and four departments in the HFTFT, simple random sampling was used to draw lots again. The Department of Econometrics from the FEAS was assigned as the intervation groups (n=58) and Mechatronics Engineering from HFTFT was assigned as the control group (n=58). Data were collected using The Student Introduction Form and The Health Belief Model Scale in Skin Cancer.

Primary outcomes

  1. The Health Belief Model Scale in Skin Cancer

    Time frame: One months

    Developed by Dogan and Caydam (2021), the scale consists of 26 items and 5 sub-dimensions (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy). The HBMSSC is a five-point Likert-type scale, and each item is answered from "disagree=1" to "strongly agree=5". The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.86, and for the sub-dimensions it is 0.89; 0.79; 0.77; 0.65 and 0.86, respectively. The "perceived barriers" sub-dimension of the scale is reverse coded. The scale does not have a total score, and each sub-dimension is scored within itself. Higher "perceived susceptibility, "perceived benefit, "perceived severity", and "self-efficacy" scores indicate higher perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived severity, and self-efficacy

  2. The Health Belief Model Scale in Skin Cancer

    Time frame: Three months

    Developed by Dogan and Caydam (2021), the scale consists of 26 items and 5 sub-dimensions (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy). The HBMSSC is a five-point Likert-type scale, and each item is answered from "disagree=1" to "strongly agree=5". The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.86, and for the sub-dimensions it is 0.89; 0.79; 0.77; 0.65 and 0.86, respectively. The "perceived barriers" sub-dimension of the scale is reverse coded. The scale does not have a total score, and each sub-dimension is scored within itself. Higher "perceived susceptibility, "perceived benefit, "perceived severity", and "self-efficacy" scores indicate higher perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived severity, and self-efficacy

  3. The Health Belief Model Scale in Skin Cancer

    Time frame: Seven months

    Developed by Dogan and Caydam (2021), the scale consists of 26 items and 5 sub-dimensions (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy). The HBMSSC is a five-point Likert-type scale, and each item is answered from "disagree=1" to "strongly agree=5". The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.86, and for the sub-dimensions it is 0.89; 0.79; 0.77; 0.65 and 0.86, respectively. The "perceived barriers" sub-dimension of the scale is reverse coded. The scale does not have a total score, and each sub-dimension is scored within itself. Higher "perceived susceptibility, "perceived benefit, "perceived severity", and "self-efficacy" scores indicate higher perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived severity, and self-efficacy
