Brief Summary

The European Code Against Cancer contains 12 recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer. It is estimated that about half of all cancers could be prevented if all recommendations are followed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program of Health Behaviour Against Cancer (PHeBAC) applied to mothers of children with intellectual disabilities in increasing the participation of mothers and their children with intellectual disabilities in cancer screenings and their health behaviors against cancer. The goal is to improve the preventive health behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities and their mothers against cancer and to increase the rate of participation in cancer screenings. Specific targets are; not smoking and not being exposed to smoking, increasing physical activity, healthy nutrition, limiting alcohol consumption, protection from sunlight, HPV vaccination and increasing participation in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Health Behaviors and Participation in Cancer Screenings Data Collection Form

  Developed by the researchers in line with the recommendations of the European Code Against Cancer. It includes information on smoking, secondhand smoke, alcohol use, HPV vaccination and cancer screenings.

  8 weeks

• Healthy Life Style Behaviors Scale II (Physical Activity and Nutrition Sub-Factors)

  The scale consists of six sub-factors and two sub-factors, physical activity and nutrition, will be used. All items of the scale are positive. As the score increases, the level of physical activity and nutrition increases. The physical activity sub-factor consists of 8 items and the nutrition sub-factor consists of 9 items. The 4-point Likert scale is accepted as never (1), sometimes (2), frequently (3), and regularly (4).

  8 weeks

• Sun Protection Behavior Scale

  It examines the sun protection behavior of the individual when the sun exposure time is more than 15 minutes. The scale consists of three sub-factors: regular sun avoidance, sunscreen use and hat use. All items of the scale are positive. As the score increases, sun protection behaviors increase. Sun avoidance consists of three items, sunscreen use consists of three items and hat use consists of two items. On a 5-point Likert scale, (1) is considered as never, (2) rarely, (3) sometimes, (4) usually and (5) always.

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

PHeBAC is an acronym that defines multi-interventions to health behaviour against cancer. The intervention group will receive PHeBAC with multiple interventions including education, guidance, counseling, and case management in line with the 12 European Codes Against Cancer to reduce cancer risk. The PHeBAC interventions will be 8 weeks long, with two face-to-face and three telephone interviews. The first and the 4th week will be face-to-face with two different sessions of 45 minutes each; the 2nd, 6th, and 8th weeks will be phone calls of 15 minutes each.

Behavioral: PHeBAC
