About this study

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of breast self-examination training and practice on breast health beliefs. The study was a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental design. Women in the experimental group of the study will be provided with the training prepared by the researcher. The presentation used in the training will include information about breast cancer, breast cancer screening programs and breast self-examination. In the presentation, the steps of breast self-examination were shown step by step using visual materials. In addition to the slide presentation about breast cancer and breast self-examination, women will be trained on breast self-examination with a breast examination model using the "show first, then do it" training technique, and the accuracy will be confirmed by asking women to do it. By using the model in breast examination, it will be determined what women do right and what they do wrong during the examination. Data will be collected with Personal Information Form and Champion Health Belief Model Scale.
