Persons in the experimental group will be trained 6 times with an interval of 2 weeks via an online platform (zoom, etc.). No training will be given to the control group, and the post-test data will be collected by re-administering the two groups with the mid-test created via Google forms and containing the scales immediately after the training, and the "Health Belief Model Scale in Breast Cancer Screening" and "Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Scale" two months later.

Treatment and study plan

Education

Other

Educational program; It will be applied to the individuals in the experimental group for an average of 40 minutes in a time period they are suitable through the online platform prepared for the individuals in the experimental group in a three-month period. The literature will be scanned and appropriate educational materials will be created, and videos will be used to support education.

Educational program During the first interview, the individuals in the experimental group will be introduced to the online platform, their entrance will be provided, they will be informed about how to follow the trainings, and sample applications will be made.

Six main topics will be covered in the training program and will be completed every two weeks in three months.

Primary outcomes

  1. Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Scale

    Time frame: two week

    Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Questionnaire: The scale was developed by Kwok et al. (2010) in 2010 to determine women's breast cancer screening beliefs. Turkish adaptation, reliability, and validity of the scale were performed by Türkoğlu and Sis Çelik in 2021. The scale has three sub scales including Attitudes towards General Health Checkups, Knowledge and Perceptions about Breast Cancer, and Perceived Barriers to Mammographic Screening. Cronbach's alpha internal coefficients were found to range between 0.76 and 0.87 in the sub-scales of the original scale. The scores to be obtained from the scale range between 0 and 100. Mean scores of 65 and over in the sub-scales indicate that screening beliefs increase positively, knowledge level increases, and barriers to mammography screening decrease.

  2. Health Belief Model Scale in Breast Cancer Screening

    Time frame: Two week

    This policy was first established by Champion in 1984 in the Health Belief Model base building. The scale has 8 dimensions: sensitivity, caring, health motivation, BSE barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, mammography benefits and barriers. Necessary components were tested, with the scale's caring and health motivation being revised in 1993, refinement in 1999, and BSE benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy dimensions revised again in 1997 (Champion, 1993; Champion and Scott, 1997; Champion, 1999; Champion, 1984) . Turkish validity and reliability were performed by Gözüm and Aydın in 2004. The scale includes subsections of "sensitivity", "caring", "health motivation", "BSE benefits", "BSE barriers", "BSE self-efficacy". The scale is a Likert-type scale scored from 1 to 5. A score closer to 5 means that caring, health motivation, BSE benefits, BSE barriers and BSE self-efficacy are perceived to be high.
