    Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting women in Turkey. The early detection methods for breast cancer have been associated with health belief variables. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine women’s health beliefs related to breast cancer screening behaviours. Methods: This study was designed as descriptive and cross-sectional survey and was performed on 344 women who applied the Nigde Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and Education Center between May and October 2009. The data were collected using a questionnaire which consists of socio-demographic characteristics and breast cancer risk factors and Health Belief Model Scale. Data analysis was performed using frequency and Mann-Whitney U Test. All values of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We found that 9.6% of women performed Breast Self- Examination (BSE) regularly and 54.5% of over the age of 40 had previously undergone a mammography (MMG). The subscales median scores related to Health Belief Model Scale were 6.0 for susceptibility, 22.0 for seriousness, 16.0 for benefits of breast self-examination, 16.0 for barriers to breast self-examination, 40.0 for confidence, and 20.0 for health motivation, 20.0 for benefits of mammography, and 22.0 for barriers to mammography. We did not find a statistically significant difference between the mean practice of breast self-examination and mammography and the Health Belief Model Scale subscales scores (p>0.05). According to study results, the rate of regular BSE performance rate for women was found low. Therefore, KETEM was planned to the training programs related to breast cancer screening methods. © GATA.

    The Effect of Education on the Early Diagnosis of Breast and Cervix Cancer on the Women’s Attitudes and Behaviors Regarding Participating in Screening Programs
    (Springer New York LLC, 2018) Kocaöz S.; Özçelik H.; Talas M.S.; Akkaya F.; Özkul F.; Kurtuluş A.; Ünlü F.
    The objective of this paper was to define the effect of education on the early diagnosis of breast and cervix cancer on the women's attitudes and behaviors regarding participating in Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and Training Centers-CEDSTC screening programs. This semi-experimental study was completed with 342 women. The data were collected with forms “Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale Breast Cancer-HBMSBC” and “Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and the Pap Smear Test-HBMSCCPST.” When the women’s health beliefs before and after 6 months of the education about the early diagnosis of breast and cervical cancers are considered, it is seen that the HBMSBC subscales health motivation, breast self-examination (BSE), and evasion to mammography (MMG) decreased and BSE self-efficacy and MMG benefit attitudes increased and HBMSCCPST subscales pap smear benefit attitudes increased and evasion to pap smear attitude decreased (p < 0.05). Six months after the education, 28.4% of the women had undergone MMG, 69.9% had performed BSE, and 33.6% had undergone a pap smear test. Education regarding early diagnosis of breast and cervix cancer was found to have positive effects on the health behaviors of the women related to BSE, MMG, and pap smear tests. The women require professional education program for increasing their attitudes and behaviors for CEDSTC screening programs. We suggest regularly providing education to increase participation in early screening programs. © 2017, American Association for Cancer Education.
