The Effect of Motivational Interviewing in Women's Health

The behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination constitutes an obstacle for individuals to lead a healthy life, and an example of this is the low participation rate of women in pap-smear screening programs compared to the target population. It is known that motivational interviews are frequently used and effective in studies planned to change health behavior. According to the results of the power analysis, at least 104 women, 52 experimental and 52 control, should be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form", "Healthcare Demand Procrastination Scale", "Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test" and "Evaluation Form for Cervical Cancer Screening Participation". Motivational interviews will be given to the women in the experimental group.

About this study

The behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination constitutes an obstacle for individuals to lead a healthy life, and an example of this is the low participation rate of women in pap-smear screening programs compared to the target population. It is known that motivational interviews are frequently used and effective in studies planned to change health behavior. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination, health beliefs regarding cervical cancer screenings, and screening participation in women. According to the results of the power analysis, at least 104 women, 52 experimental and 52 control, should be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form", "Healthcare Demand Procrastination Scale", "Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test" and "Evaluation Form for Cervical Cancer Screening Participation". Motivational interviews will be given to the women in the experimental group by the researcher once a week for 4 weeks.

Experimental (Motivational Interviews)

Behavioral

Monitoring 'behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination, health beliefs regarding cervical cancer screenings, and screening participation' with motivational interviewing

Primary outcomes

  1. Healthcare Demand Procrastination Scale

    Time frame: At the end of the 4 weeks

    The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is "11", the maximum score is "55", and as the score obtained from the scale increases, behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination also increase.

  2. Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test

    Time frame: At the end of the 4 weeks

    The scale consists of 35 items and 5 sub-dimensions. Each sub-dimension in the scale is scored separately. A high mean score is evaluated positively, except for the 'pap smear barriers' sub-dimension. A high 'pap smear barriers' score indicates that there are problems with having a pap smear.

  3. Cervical Cancer Screening Participation

    Time frame: At the end of the 6 months

    Developed by the researcher. It is a two-question form that aims to evaluate women's cervical cancer screening behaviors in the last 6 months and the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on these behaviors.
