Brief Summary

Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The study will involve a total of 78 participants, with 39 in the experimental group and 39 in the control group. The 39 participants assigned to the experimental group will first complete the cancer knowledge burden, and attitudes and information about cancer screenings scales. They will then receive cancer education consisting of four modules, which will be completed over four weeks. At the end of these four weeks, they will complete the scales again. One month after the education, the experimental group will complete the scales once more for follow-up monitoring. The control group will first complete the cancer knowledge burden, and attitudes and information about cancer screenings scales after agreeing to participate in the study. They will complete the scales again one month later. The evaluation of the education in the experimental group will involve comparing the scales completed before and after the education.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• İnformation Towards Cancer Screening Scale

  The scale consists of 15 items and is unidimensional. It is a five-point Likert scale. The items on the scale are answered on a range from 1 to 5 as follows: \"5: Strongly agree, 4: Agree, 3: Neither agree nor disagree, 2: Disagree, 1: Strongly disagree.\" The scale is suitable for use with men and women aged 30-70 who are at least literate and do not have cognitive, visual, or orthopedic disabilities that would prevent them from answering the scale. The administration method of the scale should be such that the researcher observes the participant, and the participant reads and answers the scale items independently. The scale can be used in any situation where it is necessary to measure attitudes towards cancer screenings, provided that the appropriate sample and administration method are used. The lowest possible score on the scale is 15 and the highest is 75. There is no specific cutoff point for the scale. Scores close to 15 indicate
