For the recent year, 15.7% of the women have performed breast self-examination, 10.2% have had a clinical breast examination and 10.4% have had mammography. After the training, it was determined that there was a significant positive increase in the perceptions of susceptibility, seriousness, benefit, confidence and health motivation subscales of the Champion's Health Belief Model Scale.

Conclusion: It was determined that the rate of women performing breast self-examination and having a mammogram was low and that there was a significant increase in the Champion's Health Belief Model Scale subscales after the training compared to before the training evaluations. It is recommended that midwives and nurses should consider the health beliefs of women in breast examination training and prepare their training programs accordingly.
