Web-Based Interactive Nurse Support Program for Cancer Screening

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of a web-based interactive nurse support program based on Pender's Health Promotion Model on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding cancer screening among individuals aged 30 to 70 years. A total of 136 participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=68) or the control group (n=68). Participants in the intervention group received access to a web-based educational platform that included interactive nurse support and evidence-based information on cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening. The control group received routine information. Outcomes included changes in cancer screening knowledge, attitudes, and screening-related behaviors. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of effective digital nursing interventions aimed at improving participation in cancer screening programs.
