Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
It is known that the healing process of breast cancer is accelerated thanks to the early diagnosis and effective treatment. Mammography screening is an important diagnostic method in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. It is thought that the education to be given according to the Health Belief Model will make important contributions to developing a positive attitude in breast cancer screenings and regular mammography.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Pre-test evaluation
- timeFrame
- Three month
- description
- The Health Belief Model Scale for Breast Cancer Screening and the Mammography Self-Efficacy Scale will be administered to all women in the experimental and control groups for pre-test purposes. There is no overall total score of the Health Belief Model Scale on Breast Cancer Screenings. Each sub-dimension's own total score is evaluated. The scale is a Likert type scale scored from 1 to 5. The scoring of the scale ranges from 1 point for "strongly disagree" to 5 points for "strongly agree". Increasing scores obtained from sub-dimensions indicate that the perception of that sub-dimension is high. Mammography Self-Efficacy Scale has ten items and five-point Likert type. The scale answers "strongly disagree" are evaluated as 1 point, "disagree" as 2 points, "undecided" as 3 points, "agree" as 4 points and "strongly agree" as 5 points. A higher score for each dimension indicates a higher probability of having a mammogram.
