Brief Summary

The randomized controlled study to examine the effects of the educational interventions on BSE by revealing the breast self-examination (BSE) practices and breast health beliefs of female students studying at the university were completed with 101 students, 51 of whom were in the "experimental" and 50 "control" groups. The data were collected between November and December 2022 at a university in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey, using the 'Personal Information Form', 'BSE Practice Skill Assessment Form' and the 'Health Belief Model Scale' as a pre-test. As an initiative, 'BSE training given according to the Health Belief Model', which includes 120 minutes of training, including theoretical and model-based BSE practice, was implemented. Then, 3 weeks later, the 'BSE Application Skill Evaluation Form' was applied as a post-test. Data were analyzed using Indepent Sample and Paired Sample t-test, Benferroni test, Pearson correlation analysis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Breast Self Examination Practice Skill Assessment

  The form was created by the researchers by scanning the literature as a guide to the application made by the students on the wearable breast model. The form will be evaluated out of 100 points. The form includes 7 skills: carefully reviewing the model, using three types of pressure, massage, hand position, performing three types of movement, examining each breast for five minutes, and detecting the nodule in the model. A high score is interpreted as a high level of skills.

  Three weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Health Belief Model Scale

  Three weeks

Study Arms (2)

Breast self-examination group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group was planned to consist of 51 female students studying at the university. First of all, students will be contacted through their electronically registered contact information. In the pre-test, the researchers will apply the 'Personal Information Form' and the 'Health Belief Model Scale' to the students with the self-report method. Afterwards, students will be given BSE training consisting of two 120-minute sessions. In the first session of the training, theoretical trainings about breast cancer and BSE will be given for 30 minutes. In the second session, BSE application will be shown on the wearable breast model and each student will practice on the model. The practice skills of the participants will be evaluated by the researchers using the 'BSE Practice Skill Evaluation Form'. At the end of the 'Health Belief Model Scale' application, face-to-face and 3 weeks later, online applications will be filled as a post-test.

Other: Training and application in breast modeling

Model Details: The sample size of the study was calculated in the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program such that the error amount was α=0.05, the power of the test was 0.80 (80%) and the effect size was 0.60. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was found that a total of 90 students, 45 in the experimental group and 45 in the control group, should be included in the study. Considering that if the sample size increases, the standard error will decrease and the working power will increase, each group was increased by 22% (10 people) and it was planned to include 110 students in the study, 55 students for each group. In the first stage, the sample consisted of 148 students who agreed to participate in the study. In the second phase of the study, the sample was planned to consist of 110 female students selected by simple and stratified randomization method (55 experimental, 55 control).
