Brief Summary

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Reasons such as diagnosing breast cancer at an early stage increases the chances of treatment and survival, and the fact that the masses are largely noticed by the individual themselves, point to the importance of breast self-examination (BSE) . BSE skill is among the nursing skills. When the literature was examined, it was seen that the web-based education method was frequently used for cognitive skills during nursing education, but its use was limited for psychomotor skills training. It was determined that in BSE training, in addition to traditional education, methods such as concept maps and peer-supported education were used, but web-based education methods were not used. It is thought that the study will contribute to the literature in these aspects.

Web Based Breast Self-Examination Education Group

EXPERIMENTAL

For the web-based education group, a web page will be created by the researchers on Google classroom for breast self-examination skills. Prepared education materials will be uploaded to the website. Opinions of field experts will be sought for the prepared web page. The website will be rearranged in line with the suggestions of field experts. The education will last 6 hours in total.

Other: Web-based breast self examination education

Traditional Breast Self-Examination Education Group

NO INTERVENTION

The group receiving education using the traditional method will be given breast self-examination education by the researchers. The education will cover topics such as the importance of breast self-examination, application times, and breast self-examination methods. Then, the breast self-examination skill will be taught using the technique of demonstrating and performing breast self-examination, and each student in the group will be allowed to perform the skill on the simulator. The education will last 4 hours in total.
