NCT06562595 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: ISH
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 400

Brief Summary

Cervical cancer represents the fourth most prevalent malignant disease and the fourth leading cause of mortality among women on a global scale. Despite screening and preventive vaccination efforts, cervical cancer remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries.

Conditions

HPV Infection; Cervical Cancer; Cervical Dysplasia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Test Score, Pre-Training

  Participants will first take a test where they will receive a maximum of 25 points and a minimum of 0 points. Then the participants will be automatically assigned to one of the 4 training models, then the trainings will be given and the same test will be applied to the participants again. By looking at the second test and first test scores, it will be determined which training model increases the participant's score more. Thus, we will be able to understand which form of education increases HPV and cervical awareness in our society.

  After completion of the 25-item assessment tests (first and second test) and training, an average of 1 month.

• Test Score, Post-Training

  Participants will first take a test where they will receive a maximum of 25 points and a minimum of 0 points. Then the participants will be automatically assigned to one of the 4 training models, then the trainings will be given and the same test will be applied to the participants again. By looking at the second test and first test scores, it will be determined which training model increases the participant's score more. Thus, we will be able to understand which form of education increases HPV and cervical awareness in our society.

  After completion of the 25-item assessment tests (first and second test) and training, an average of 1 month.

Study Arms (4)

Video Assisted

EXPERIMENTAL

Those participants who are automatically assigned to the video training arm will be required to complete a 25-point initial assessment, after which they will be presented with a video. Subsequently, the same test will be administered once more, and the initial and subsequent scores of the participant will be recorded in the case report form.

Behavioral: Education Intervention

Classical Lectures

EXPERIMENTAL

The initial assessment, comprising 25 items, will be administered to participants who have been randomly assigned to the control group. This group will be invited to attend a seminar at our clinic, during which a PowerPoint presentation will be delivered. Following the conclusion of the presentation, the same assessment will be repeated, and the participant's initial and second scores will be recorded in the case report form.

Behavioral: Education Intervention

Brochure

EXPERIMENTAL

Those participants who are automatically assigned to the brochure arm will be required to complete a 25-point initial test. Participants assigned to this arm will receive a web-based brochure on HPV and smear information (via free messaging services). At the conclusion of the brochure review, the same test will be administered again, and the participant's initial and second scores will be recorded in the case report form.

Behavioral: Education Intervention

Sound Recording (Radio Broadcast)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants who have been automatically assigned to the Sound Recording (Radio Broadcast) arm will be required to complete a 25-point initial assessment. This assessment will be administered via a web-based platform, accessible through free messaging services. Following the completion of the Sound Recording (Radio Broadcast), the same assessment will be repeated. The initial and second scores will then be recorded in the case report form.

Behavioral: Education Intervention

Interventions

Education Intervention BEHAVIORAL

Training will be provided to the participants, with the objective of determining the most accurate training method on HPV and cervical awareness.
